I wish I could have kept the faith for one more game, but I didn’t want to back a team that needed to win Games 6 and 7 on the road because it hardly ever happens. And so it happened twice in the same playoff season for the first time ever. And on consecutive days. The Philadelphia Phillies need to admit after this game that they choked. This was a textbook choke job tonight.

Thank you, well said. Thing is, the Diamondbacks run is now not officially over.
10-4-2 ATS in Diamondbacks games...where's UnrankedChamp now?
Appreciate all the banter and friendly foes. Let's keep things going, gonna have to buckle down and see what gives but I'm on this destined team to win the World Series. Again, if you don't know the story of Nicole Hazen, go to ESPN and read about it. Might have you a believer as well....
