Diamondbacks' Doug Davis (6-8, 4.25) vs. Cardinals' Joel Piniero (6-7, 5.21).
The last time we did a "Scoreboard Watching" post, it didn't work out so well for us. But we're going to try, try again (this time, with the starting pitching matchup in italics!) because:
- The game comes over our lunch hour, giving us something to do at our desks besides read the depressing news in the Wall Street Journal;
- If the Cardinals win, the Dodgers will have clinched the NL West even before they take the field tonight;
- If the Cardinals lose, the Dodgers still have a chance to take care of business at home against the Padres this evening.
Eight remaining opportunities, and all we need is one favorable outcome. Put on your Cardinals hats, party people!

Do you think people will start tilting their heads to read the comments after a while?
Cards up by TWO!!!
Shoot, they got one back...
WOOHOO!!! I just got tickets for tonight's game!
game tied, gotta go, very busy day...GO CARDS!
congrats Alex for those tickets!
AC, I'll be there, too, in Field 47.
game tied due to an Izturis triple, 2 outs...after taking 9 pitches, Lopez grounds out, urgh.
i'm gonna be late, but i just couldn't leave Izturis stranded at third
Ahhh it is tied!!!
Erin: I think I am in the Lodge section 114 row A, so look UP since you are in the field section!
In the bottom of the 5ht the Cards have the bases loaded with nobody out and can't get a single run across. Still tied after 5.
4-3 Cards!!! I know I am playing with fire, but man, it would be nice to attend that game where the dodgers clinch it...
FIVE TO THREEE!!!!!
5-3 Cards!
5-3 Cardinals thanks to a two-out sinle by Troy Glaus. Jason LaRue strands two to end the inning; we go to the seventh inning, 5-3.
Middle of the seventh, AZ went down 1-2-3.
Snakes could be down to their final six outs of contention.
Kennedy triples and scores on an Aaron Miles single. 6-3 Cards, none out, man on first.
6-3!
6-3!!!
All hail Albert Pujols! 9-3 Cards!
PUJOLS WITH A THREE-RUN HOMER!!! 9-3 Cardinals
Clearly, my calling out of Pujols after his 0-for-2 in game 1 of the series paid dividends.
So I guess I owe him that Aaron award vote, after all. Okay.
10-3 on a Ludwick solo homer. And LaRue, once again, ends the inning.
On to the eighth inning!!!
IT IS OVER!!!! 10-3
I will call it early. No way the dbacks come back from this deficit. Thanks Cards!!! Now I wonder who they are going to play tonight - Furcal at short? Ozuna, Berrora. Rest Manny, Loney, Kemp, Blake and Martin. Get them drunk in the back.
Conor Jackson grounds out to strand Jeff Salazar at third. End of the eighth inning. Arizona is down to its last three outs of contention, down 10-3.
AC, keep it in the pants. Don't break out the beer just yet...
Playoffs, here we come! Just got my tickets for game three (home game one) of the divisional series.
You think they'll already have "N.L. West Champions" gear for sale at the stadium tonight?
It's Frank McCourt, Erin. Of course they will.
two on (second and third), two out, bottom of the eighth, Cards still up 10-3. Filepe Lopez at the plate.
12-3 on a Felipe Lopez single! Sorry for misspelling his name last time!
Yeah, Orel, as soon as I wrote that comment, I realized McCourt is probably stocking the shelves himself at this very moment.
erin and orel, I think the shirts will say "Your 2008 NL West Champion Frank-McCourt-delivered Los Angeles Dodgers"
Or, "2008 NL West Champions, The Los Angeles McCourts"
McCourt is ironing the number "8" on top of the number "4" from the old 2004 NL West Champion shirts
12-3, end of eight. Off to the ninth we go!
Or NL west champs FRANK MCCOURT (time permitting Manny ramirez)
I think tonight I will see Sweeney at first, Ozuna at 2nd. Furcal at ss, DeWitt at Third with Repko, Pierre and the batboy in the outfield with ardoin behind the plate.
Alex Romero pops out. AZ down to its last two outs.
Maybe all the regulars will want to play in front of the home crowd tonight, for the fun of it, and then rest in San Fran.
Whitesell walks, one out.
AC, if Sweeney gets four at bats tonight, do you think he will get on base ONCE?
Wow, Cards lead 12-3. Not much for subtlety are they.
PH Robby Hammock refuses to nap between trees, and singles. Two on, one out. Still 12-3.
NO
Down to the LAST OUT!!!
D'Antona Ks. One out left for AZ.
Where's the Fat Lady?
Not around, maybe Andruw Jones can fill in (rim shot!)
WHOOO!!!!!!!
There it is!
DODGERS CLINCH NL WEST!!!
IT IS OVER!!!! Dodgers win!!!
See yall at the game!!!
Gewinnt!
