Gameday Thread, NLDS #5 OVERFLOW #2: 10/7 vs Brewers

It's now or never. The Brewers took a 2-1 lead over the Diamondbacks in the 6th inning. We head into the 8th now against the stronghold of the Milwaukee bullpen, Rodriguez and Ashford, with the middle of our lineup due up to bat.
Pull out your RALLYCAPS, your St. Penelopes, your #diamondponies..... all fair game for the next two innings!

It's already the 4th inning and we're over 900 comments in the initial GDT. Many of those comments came after Justin Upton lined a solo home run to right, to put the Diamondbacks up 1-0 for the lead. Ian Kennedy is pitching very well, having allowed just one hit in the first three innings.

Is it game-time yet? Is it game-time yet?
What about now?
Yeah, it's definitely one of those occasions, like Christmas Eve, where the hands of the clock seem to be crawling, as if they were Wily Mo Pena legging out an inside-the-park homer. I'm pretty sure productivity in the Phoenix area will be significantly lower this afternoon, as the workforce's attention quietly slide to Milwaukee, by whatever means necessary. Arizona has already staved off elimination twice, but now face the most difficult leg: doing so in Milwaukee, against the pitcher who almost blanked them in Game 1.But, for the third time, I want to say this:
If there's one thing I know, it's that these Diamondbacks will not quit until the very last out of the very last game. Whatever happens, it has still been a fabulous season for the team, and a privilege to be a fan.

Bit of s slugfest thus far. However, the net result is, Arizona are up by four at the end of the fourth. That'll do. Both starting pitchers are out of the game, so we'll see how long relief holds up.

My goodness. Where did the day go? Almost time for the game at Chase - the root will be closed, in part due to wind, but I suspect, rather more to do with creating an intimidating atmosphere, such as the one that was present in full effect last night. It's another drink at the Last Chance Saloon for Arizona, but I feel a lot more confident after last night, seeing how this team can play. As I said there: If there's one thing I know, it's that these Diamondbacks will not quit until the very last out of the very last game. Whatever happens, it has still been a fabulous season for the team, and a privilege to be a fan.

Ah, Lead! How we hath missed you, dear friend Lead! Arizona has an 8-1 lead going into the 6th inning. Miguel Montero has two RBIs, Josh Collmenter is cruising, and of course, it wouldn't be a Diamondbacks game without an out on the basepaths (Justin Upton out at home).
Oh, and did I mention Paul Goldschmidt hit a grand slam? Looks like Glove Tossing is becoming an NLDS tradition...

Okay, let's do this thing. Collmenter is the only thing that stands between Arizona and potential elimination at the hands of the Evil Empire (NL Central subdivision). That would complete a black day for 1998 expansion teams, as the Rays have already departed the post-season this afternoon. All we can do is go out there, play the game, and cheer like mad from the stands at Chase. By the time you see this, we'll already be down there - perhaps inside the ball-park - for the first post-season contest there since 2007
