Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs, Oct 2, 2009 2:20 PM EDT

Games till the end of the season: 3

Surprise! Good morning, everybody, and guess what, there's a day game, and the Diamondbacks managed to score 3 runs while nobody noticed.

This is the beginning of the end for these 2009 Arizona Diamondbacks, as they end the season on the road against Chicago. As mentioned yesterday, they have to take 2 of 3 to get to 70 wins this season. Not much  to say at this point - let's just hope the team ends the season on a high note.

will stop playing the blame game and simply be happy for Rio, I think it’s a fine thing that the Olympics finally come to South America, I don’t think Obama had a lot to do with the dealings in the backroom, and I don’t think it’s a failure on his part. A decision was made by a group of folks representing countries from all over the world deciding on a spot to have a sporting event. The games have NEVER been to South America, I think it was simply time to rectify that.
