SWEEP

 


Just in case you missed it, the (my) Arizona Diamondbacks completed a 3-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers last night to win the National League Division Series.

(It's baseball, folks.)

In the process they made history, becoming the first team to hit four home runs in one inning in the playoffs.

And the fourth one came from Gabriel Moreno who hit what looked like a home run to right field but after he had circled the bases in a home run trot and lengthy consultation among the umpires it was ruled that it had gone ever so slightly foul and he was called back to the plate.

Then he hit the very next pitch into the left field stands.

Blow, Gabriel, blow!

The team will now go on to play either Philadelphia or Atlanta in the League Championship Series to see which team goes to the World Series.

Can you blame me for my hubris today?

  3. Woo hoo!! I fear that it will be the Phillies that your guys play, but until tonight's game is over I will live in hope (and resignation if I'm being honest).

  4. It must be nice to have a winning team. Something we Blue Jays fans don't get very often.
    Congrats!

  8. When your team wins it's like you just took a happy pill and as in that song by The Beatles "all my troubles seem so far away".
