This game had disaster written all over it, as if it was being directed by Roland Emmerich. The D-backs were coming off a staggeringly flat series against the worst team in the National League, dropping three of four to the Marlins. They were going from that, to face the team with the best record in the American League, on their home territory. It had not been a happy hunting ground for the team, historically. As mentioned in the preview, the Diamondbacks have a 2-10 record over their history against the Yankees in New York, including the 2001 World Series.
