Clinching Tweet of the Week
Nothing like stopping at the store for kids' lunches after clinching. No people that smell is not a spill in the liquor aisle, that is me.

Yes, Jody - we have all used that old chestnut “I wasn’t drinking, I was simply standing near some people who had just secured a playoff spot” excuse... I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t work so well on a Wednesday afternoon in January. Especially if you’re not actually a baseball reporter...
Honorable mentions
Words don't decide baseball games.

Crazy voodoo rituals do. https://t.co/43Yy1nwZVj
Remember those words for Wednesday. Because, trust me: all the crazy voodoo rituals in the world will be getting called upon from this end.

The games in Diamondbacks Tweets
Diamondbacks 13, Marlins 11
There are some airmen here at the ballpark and I want to thank them for their service, and punching in the face for trying to start the wave

My God, I'm here in person for a Rodney 1-run save. I may not survive. Stay tuned

Thank you @Dbacks for the video tribute & awesome fans welcoming me back— grateful for the memories! Really special time in my career!
— Brad Ziegler (@BradZiegler) September 23, 2017
Have fun with this one. I wouldn't be able to do it. It would just be the phrase "in play, run(s)" in small text

This girl has a sign at the Dbacks game that says "Jake Lamb is cuter than my dad" & I have a feeling she's gonna regret that in a few years

Cool moment when @Dbacks players step out of the dugout to thank fans for their support when Finding out they are postseason bound. #mlb pic.twitter.com/VrmnxsJUjD

Diamondbacks 2, Giants 9
Giants just scored some runs. #Dbacks now trail by 3. We'll let you know if tonight's score improves.
— Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) September 26, 2017
Ah, the ennui is overpowering...
If I were the dbacks I would have started all card board cut-outs of the Starters against SF.
— Derek L. F. (@babydeekus) September 26, 2017
I think this is what actually happened, wasn’t it? I can’t conceive of any other way we could possibly have lost to Buster and the Seven Dwarfs...
Diamondbacks 11, Giants 4
A couple of interesting ideas on the J.D. Martinez front.
.@dougducey .@MayorStanton Let's create a tax that keeps J.D. Martinez with the .@DBacks Major bipartisanship
— Ryan Gutierrez (@RyanPGutierrez) September 27, 2017
There we go. GoFundMe drives are all very well, but that’s small potatoes. We need to be thinking big here. A quarter-cent sales tax raised $238 million to build the ballpark, and I’m pretty damn sure doing so for Martinez would have rather more public support!
Even if JD Martinez only plays half a season with the Dbacks, retire his jersey #dbacks
— JC (@JC_2594) September 27, 2017
If he takes us to a World Series victory, before leaving as a free agent, I would not necessarily object to this idea!
Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3
Saw #Dbacks gave up 2 runs in first. Forgot they moved Greinke out of spot and was like, who's pitching? Shipley. It all makes sense now
— Scott Allen (@azsportsguy) September 27, 2017
Around chairs, under tables, up against a fence. A @JakeLamb18 HR ball is quite a souvenir & must be pursued as such.
