First of all, the Diamondbacks are not going to have a lot of diehards. The problem with Phoenix is that people move to Phoenix from other places around the country and already are fans of other teams. Look at the Red Sox fans who turned out from around the area when the Sox played in Phoenix.<BR/><BR/>It just looks like to me that they'd need to do some serious advertising to get the people in the ballpark for this game. I don't know how exactly they do it, but the fans in Arizona are clearly displaying their baseball knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Certainly gives people a pretty good reason to root for Colorado, I guess.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-18672827374164128182007-10-11T20:14:00.000-07:002007-10-11T20:14:00.000-07:00On Buffyvision, Gregg Zaun says Upton play was a c...On Buffyvision, Gregg Zaun says Upton play was a case of the ump overreacting.

Oh yeah, that's fine, too. <BR/><BR/>Good job by Clint Hurdle to pull his team off the field, though.

Josh Fogg beat Schilling in game 2 by a score of 12-2. Schilling gave up 5 earned runs in that game. That's why Fogg is called the Dragon Slayer. He tends to beat the good pitchers, strangely enough.<BR/><BR/>Game 3 was Beckett's first loss of the season, allowing 6 runs on 10 hits in 5 innings. Francis wasn't much better from a hits and innings standpoint, but he kept the Sox from scoring. 5 IP, 7 H. The bullpen took it from there, giving up 1 run in 4 innings.<BR/><BR/>But it's been a long time since they've seen each other, though. Who would have the edge now? I think the Red Sox would. Maybe we'll see. Maybe not. Long ways to go.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809080115678512743noreply@blogger.com
