The Arizona Diamondbacks won two straight games in Philadelphia to make the World Series for the first time since 2001.
The Diamondbacks responded to the Philadelphia Phillies‘ 2-1 fourth-inning lead in Game 7 with three consecutive runs to clinch their berth in the Fall Classic on Tuesday.
Arizona kept the doubters’ receipts. Just hours after Arizona advanced, the team posted a montage video of everyone who counted them out. Pitcher Paul Sewald also chimed in.
Not too shabby for a team that didn’t deserve to be there in the first place. 😉 pic.twitter.com/4K5BhYVS8z

Chris “Mad Dog” Russo is the most notable recipient of the Diamondbacks’ trolling.
Russo said on his “Mad Dog Radio” show that if Arizona came back from being down 3-2 to win the series, he’d retire. Russo shared his reactions throughout the night after the Diamondbacks win.

Clearly this hasn’t gone as planned. I think you’d agree. https://t.co/1V4vhiMclI

Arizona’s manager Torey Lovullo posted a video with a specific message to Russo.
