Star-divide

Four straight losses against the Giants means the return of the Tankapalooza standings, where Arizona remains in third-place, 2.5 games behind the Pirates - however, their 3-7 record over the past ten games is the worst of any team in the bottom six. The Diamondbacks will be banking on their awful 13-33 road record to see them through this trip, but the Pirates (13-35) and Orioles (11-38) also start the week on the road, so there's no room for slackage, even though the trading of Dan Haren will certainly give Arizona a boost down the stretch.

Jack Magruder Tweets that the team are "getting most play now on 2B Johnson, looking at career year and available. "Have to be overwhelmed" to move RHP Jackson, source says." And, incidentally, bonus points to Jack for Tweets that are grammatically sound and properly-capitalized - looking like they are by a professional writer, rather than text messages sent from a hyperactive and distracted teenager. I saw enough of those over the weekend, thank you very much </grumpyoldman>

The hundredth game of the season. My, how time flies when you're enjoying yourself barely paying attention. At least the east-coast start times mean the next few contests will (hopefully) not drag too long into the night, and I'll be able to get the recaps up early enough, that the evening won't seem wasted. Yeah: it's pretty terrible when D-backs games now seem more an irritating chore than anything else, but it's an inevitable result of a season that has gone more or less relentlessly downhill since the first week, and doesn't look likely to get better anytime soon. Still, we keep showing up, because that's what we do. This isn't a bad season. Now, 2004: that was a bad season...

That whole pesky wage-slavery thing means I won't be about until later on in this game. Have fun without me!

so, to trade jackson

they need to be overwhelmed? Is this in the same sense as the Haren trade? If so, I won’t be holding my breath for much of a return.

From Twitter

Todd Walsh says Jerry DiPoto is going to be in the booth in the third, and Waslh says we’ll get “some clarity on why Haren is gone.”

I think most of our questions aren’t why is Haren gone, but why didn’t we get more back…

Prediction:

“We got winners in return. I think Joe Saunders is behind only Halladay in wins the last few years. He won like 60% of his games. Corbin leads the minors in wins.”
I guarantee there will be some facepalming in the third inning.

But then,

what was the justification for the trade?
If wins matter to him, then we can just assume he’s dumb.
But if wins don’t matter to him, then why did he make the trade?
And why would he also cite Corbin’s wins?

8-O
Street was apparently struck in the groin area by an Ian Stewart liner while playing catch in right field. Rockies trainer Keith Dugger told MLB.com Street fainted “two or three times” from the pain. According to the Denver Post, Street initially went down after being struck by the ball, then tried to get up but fainted from the pain. “I think his body kind of went into shock,” said Dugger. “The thing that was kind of alarming is he had ringing in his ears. Sometimes it’s just a sign of shock.”

Saunders was taken on because we need to fill that spot in the rotation for now and it is a way of “paying” for part of Haren’s contract by taking on the increasing salary of Saunders.

You make it sound like we traded Haren away so we can replace him with the better Joe Saunders. Saunders is a filler not a centerpiece.
