October 7th, 2011- We lose to the Brewers 3-2. (End of season)
Well, that’s it. I watched about eighty games and was able to blog about 75 of them. What a ride this season has been! The blog has enabled me to watch the game and the team that I love with more scrutiny and with more fascination than ever before. The team blew everyone’s mind and made many doubters believe, myself included. I was mentally prepared to finish second to last in the NL West and feel good about slightly improving. I was not at all expecting all that happened—A Cy Young contender in Kennedy, a Manager of the Year candidate in Kirk Gibson, and an MVP candidate in Upton. Even though I am terribly sad that the D’backs are done until next year, I am extremely proud to be a fan.
Tonight’s double-play to consider: 1) It’ll feel weird when there’s no more D’backs baseball to watch. 2) I could use some convincing to keep doing this blog next year 😉
