The Diamondbacks are going to the World Series. You can say it again, if the sentence sounds foreign on the tongue.
PHILADELPHIA — manager Torey Lovullo peered into the abyss on Aug. 11, 74 days before his team captured the National League pennant in an improbable, month-long ambush of their better-touted foes with a 4-2 victory over the in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series. The prospect appeared remote only two months ago, when the Diamondbacks lost for the ninth consecutive game. The club had lost its hold on the NL West. A chance at the postseason looked to be fading.
“You know what I mean? There’s nothing better than a wise guy New Yorker saying something and then having to chomp on those words.” To Lovullo, Russo’s comment fit a pattern of this postseason: “There’s an overriding theme here that we, A, don’t deserve to be here, B, that we’re going to get our butts kicked, and, C, there’s bullies all over the National League that can manhandle us,” he said.
