I don’t think I need to spell out how this one played out, really. Because, trust me, if you’ve been following our scrappy but hapless Diamondbacks this season, you’ve seen this sort of business before, more times than any of us hoped or expected when the season was still new. As our Fearless Leader wisely noted in his remarks at the top of tonight’s Gameday Thread, every time we cough up another stinker against a team that you’d really hope that we’d not be stinking against, it gets harder and harder to avoid acknowledging the increasingly sad reality that a lot of the ballplayers we’ve enjoyed getting to know as we have lurched, increasingly zombie-like, into the All-Star Break and ever closer to the trade deadline will likely be wearing the uniforms of other teams, teams that are actually contending this year, once the calendar flips from July to August.
