Diamondbacks 10, St. Louis 1: Ryno and the Batsmen

I recall saying to Ramona as All Star Week was drawing to a close that facing the Cardinals and the Astros coming out of the break would in some ways be a good thing, because playing series against two winning teams would likely settle any lingering questions regarding whether we were going to be sellers at the Trade Deadline. To be honest, I think I’ve been finding the waiting to be kind of exhausting, and I frankly expected that we’d be staring disappointment in the face, and part of me just wanted to get on with it.
