A Ray of Sunshine in a lousy season

The Diamondbacks' Edwin Jackson throws a no-hitter.

The Diamondbacks are the only Phoenix-area franchise to win it all, staging the famous Rally Against Rivera in 2001, concluding with Luis Gonzalez' bloop single against the New York Yankees.

Down they go Rockies 4 Diamondbacks 1

I will root for these guys in the Series in the very likely circumstance that they win this. Some are asking whether the Rockies will lose another game in 2007. The power of momentum is incredible.

Rockies 3, Diamondbacks 2

This is starting to suck.

Oops Rockies 5, Diamondbacks 1

At least we got a little fan rudeness.

Diamondbacks 5, Cubs 1

It's all over. Now, probably the Rockies and a tougher challenge.

Diamondbacks 8, Cubs 4

Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 1

Game 1 of the division series. We can't let the Cubs stop selling those 1908 World Champion t-shirts. I mean if the Cubs keep winning I'll have to stop using the irrational beliefs of die-hard Cub fans at the beginning of every season that this will be the year they win the Series as an example of an unjustified belief that might turn out to be true. We can't have that. But if tonight's game is any indication, there's nothing to worry about.
