It took a while, but I've come around to it, unlike the DH which I've never warmed to. However, I was disappointed to see the Padres celebrating yesterday. I would much prefer some of the veterans to have said, "No, we want the division; if we win tomorrow, then we'll celebrate."<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-27859">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Re. 15: I like the wildcard.

I got in a few posts yesterday from the game on my Treo. While it was fun to hang out by the dugout after and see the players so happy, I'd rather see a celebration for the division championship. Today I'll be at the game again. They expect 45,000 for Gonzo and Counsell's last DBack game. Gonzo is Az's Trevor. Everyone loves him here. I'll try to get a few posts off from the phone. I had a couple of DBack fans tell me that thay were pulling for us to take it all. BTW, AZ fans hate the Dogs as much as we do.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-27856">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> What a great time yesterday.
