Up against Halladay today, a bit of a tall order - hence cramming every left-hander with a pulse we can find into the line-up. Justin Upton's hip has indeed got him the afternoon off (he will be available off the bench if necessary), with Parra moving over to right and Ryal getting another start in left. It's been more than six years since we faced Halladay - back in June 2004 at the Skydome in Toronto, and the Blue Jays clubbed us 15-4 that day. Only LaRoche, Johnson and Abreu have any experienced against him, and are a collective 1-for-11. Dbackinsider just tweeted that, tonight is the first time since 1991, pitchers with no-hitters earlier in the season will have faced each other.
Not that I'll be about. Azrecap tonight, so we're having Philly cheesesteaks (more by accident than design, I believe) and watching British TV (Doctor Who and Being Human). Still, I'm fairly confident Tankapalooza will proceed as planned today, even without me.
