SnakeBytes 6/2: Misspelled Edition

So we usher the Marlins out of town, their tail between their, um, fins, and welcome the Natinals. One east coast squad after another.

Recaps:

• [DBacks.com] Roberts sparks rally as D-backs stun Marlins - Upton described his game winning hit as a hand grenade. "I fooled them with a full swing."

• [FS Arizona] Four runs down? So what, say rallying D-backs - Upton also explained his running from his teammates after the hit fell in. ""Those guys are rough. You don't see what goes on underneath that pile. There's a lot of punching and slapping. I was just trying to delay it a little bit. I got it good. It's well worth it."

• [AZ Central] Arizona Diamondbacks rally to defeat Florida Marlins - Only 16,169 in the stands? I'm sure the strange start time didn't help, but too bad there weren't more people for such an exciting game from an exciting team.

• [Miami Herald] Florida Marlins wilt late against Diamondbacks - Wait, do fish wilt? Spoil seems more likely to me.

• [The D-blog] Ninth Inning Execution was Key in D-backs Win - A great inning of baseball to watch.

• [DBacks.com] Surging D-backs welcome Nationals - The Nationals are sitting about where we probably expected to be about now, a handful of games under .500.

• [FS Arizona] Today on FOX Sports Arizona: D-backs vs. Nationals, 6 p.m. - Washington just put up their first back-to-back wins in more than two weeks. Though that followed a 1-8 stretch.

• [Miami Herald] Washington Nationals (24-31) at Arizona Diamondbacks (31-25) - Remember when Gibby said we'd win our next six one-run games? Well, last night meant we've won eight. The guy lives up to his promises.

DBacks News:

• [FoxSportsArizona] May report card: D-backs go from worst to first - "It is beginning to look like a trend..."
  

• [DBacks.com] D-backs poised to reload with two picks in first round of Draft - The draft is just around the metaphorical corner, and Jerry Dipoto and Ray Montgomery are ready to make their picks.

• [AZ Central] Should the Arizona Diamondbacks go after New York Mets' David Wright? - It'd have to be a pretty good deal for the DBacks to make it worthwhile in my eyes. I still don't think we should be making expensive moves for this year. Plus, Wright's still injured.

• [Diary of a Diehard] Tidbits and Trivia from a Historic May - That was a heck of a month of baseball, and Diary of a Diehard gives us a nice recap of it.

Around Baseball:

• [FS Arizona] Yankees dominating AL All-Star voting - Yeah, because we all want to see the Yankees have six starters in the All Star Game.

• [Big League Stew] Teddy takes first, but DQ’d for using Segway in presidents race - As I recall, Mark Grace was disqualfied for using D. Baxter's jeep last year in one race. C'mon, Teddy, we expect more creativity- maybe they'd give it to you if you rode a moose across the finish line.

• [Baseball Nation] What's Wrong With The Cubs? - Well, there's only so much room on the internet to explain.

• [SI.com] Albert Pujols, Carl Crawford part of All-Disappointment team - Hey- no Diamondbacks!
