Tankapalooza rolls on into New York, where the Mets promise to pose a stiff test to Arizona's quest for the best 2011 draft pick. - the only Diamondbacks' victories in almost three weeks, since July 10th, have all been against New York. It'll therefore take a sterling effort for the fine work against the Phillies and Giants to continue, and with the Pirates also on the road, and facing the Cardinals, nothing but Grade-A levels of suck will suffice.

I'm beginning to really get into Tankapalooza. Have you noticed? But given that we have traded 40% of our starting rotation away in the past week, it seems the rebuild process for the Diamondbacks is now in full swing, so we might as well embrace it, folks.
