That wasn't the sort of distance I was hoping they'd be putting on the Diamondbacks. I had a bad feeling from the point where Angel Hernandez tossed Mariano Duncan. It was weird, seeing him tossed by a guy all the way across the field. I've got to believe that Hernandez thought he saw a hand gesture of some sort.
The big loss, though, is that of Kent. He's finally accepted that he won't be playing through the oblique injury, and he's gon until at least August. Willy Aybar will be taking his place, and starting at third and batting sixth tonight. He's been hitting well at Vegas, so let's hope he keeps it up.
Go Blue.
