Oswalt has pretty much owned Arizona of late. Since the start of 2008, in three starts, Oswalt is 3-0 with a 0.41 ERA against the Diamondbacks, having allowed one run in 22 innings of work, on only nine hits and four walks. Still, we have some hope: Young is 5-for-13, LaRoche 9-for-30 and Drew 7-for-20. We'll also have to see if Kennedy can keep his new-found spot at our #2: but since they got almost shut down last night by a guy making his major-league debut, nothing less than a no-hitter from Kennedy will prove satisfactory.

Probably miss the first two or three innings, by the time we get home, but should be around after that. However, it's Sprankton on the recap, so my attention will likely depend on the game status.
