GIVE THEM A CLINCH, THEY TAKE A MILE

Having kindly been given free tickets, The Wife and I and The Kid betook ourselves to Chase Field yesterday to see the Diamondbacks take on the Miami Marlins. These were the looks on our faces after the game...


(That's right, that's Randy Johnson with us. These were good seats.)

Back in May, The Wife and I went to the game on Mother's Day, only to see our beloved Snakes beaten by the Pirates. But they made up for it Sunday. Not only did we have the pleasure of seeing the great Giancarlo Stanton not hit his 58th home run of the season for the Marlins, we also got to be there when the D-bax clinched a playoff spot, their first since 2011, in the middle of the 4th Inning courtesy of losses by the Brewers and the Cardinals. Then J.D. Martinez won the game, 3-2, at the end of a nail-biting 9th Inning with a two-out, bases-loaded walk-off smash, thus clinching home field advantage.
