Diamondbacks pitchers have thrown a total of 278 pitches in thus series so far. They have trailed after 274 of them. The Philles took the lead with the leadoff batter in the first game, and their second hitter last night, and the D-backs were never able to catch up thereafter. It has been the complete reverse of the games in Los Angeles, where Arizona jumped ahead in the first two games. I think I preferred those. But this sport is a cruel mistress, and cares nothing for your desires and feelings. After a dream 5-0 start to the Diamondbacks' first playoff campaign in six years, this series so far has been a bucket of cold water.
