D'backs up six games, capture 8th straight win!

Mark Grace is not the best announcer in the world, certainly no match if you compare him to the great Vin Scully. But, he can be funny at times and he did ask the key question on the air last night when he said, "Is this really happening?"

The question came in the middle innings of the D'backs' win over the Colorado Rockies at Chase Field. Yes, Mark, it is really happening! The Diamondbacks beat the Rockies, 9-4, and the Giants lost another, losing 5-2 to the Cubbies as Arizona increased its lead in the NL West to six games. That's eight straight wins! The D'backs are 77-59 on the season. Heck, Arizona might as well go 23-3 the rest of the way and win 100 games! That would be asking too much, but one thing is for sure, all those Arizona bobblehead dolls are shaking their heads this morning right along with Gracie.

D'backs Update: Let's make in nine in a row! Arizona beats the Rockies 4-2 Thursday night and cashes in on another sweep. And now it is on to San Francisco. Go D'backs!
