Good Afternoon Diamondbacks fans! Its that time again, its time to give you a list of different stories from around the web regarding your favorite team! Whether your on your lunch break, at school, or at work, this is something that can brighten up your afternoon! First lets talk about the Fall Classic.

World Series 2014: The 2014 MLB season will end at some point in the next 36 hours, and after a legendary October outing by Giants ace Madison Bumgarner, the Giants are one win away from their third World Series championship in five seasons as the series shifts to Kansas City. Bumgarner has a 0.24 era in the World Series, and has established himself as possibly the best World Series pitcher ever. Tonight Jake Peavy faces hard thrower Yordano Ventura. Despite being down 3-2, recent history suggests that the Royals still have a great chance. Since 1982 the home team has gone 22-3 in game 6 and game 7. However, the Giants might just be the team to break that string because of their experience. We shall see what happens. All I know is that its going to be fun!

Now here are some stories about the Dbacks and the MLB for your reading pleasure including a great piece by Zach Buchanan on players opinions about the Fall League pace of play rules.
