Dodgers light up Webb, win 8-1

---

Photo: Paul Connors/AP The Skinny: For the second straight start, Diamondbacks' right-hander Brandon Webb was denied his 20th victory. The Los Angeles Dodgers hit Webb early and often, chasing him after just 3.1 innings in an 8-1 cakewalk Sunday at Chase Field. Phoenix native and former ASU star Andre Ethier started the hit parade, taking Webb deep in the first, followed by a long 3-run shot to center field by Casey Blake. [...]

Pedroia is so hot right now that Ozzie Guillen was forced to call for an intentional walk. Here's what he had to say after the game:

D-Backs going after Eckstein?

---

Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal is reporting today that Blue Jays' infielder David Eckstein is almost certain to be traded before tonight's midnight (9:00 Arizona time) deadline, and that the Arizona Diamondbacks are likely to land his services for the remainder of the season. Eckstein would likely be plugged in to the starting 2nd baseman position in the absence of Orlando Hudson. He has started only 5 games at second base this season, and [...]

What We Learned This Weekend

---

About the 2008 Team...That we need to solidify who is the #2 quarterback behind Rudy Carpenter. Sullivan had the second worst backup QB performance on the day next to Cal's Nate Longshore (who's approval rating at Berkeley is about 2 points lower than Dick Cheney's). Look for Samson and Stangel to get some major playing time when we're up on Nevada-Las Vegas by 35 at the half.[...]

Manny, Dodgers bury Diamondbacks 6-2

---

The Skinny: Most teams' pitchers have a really hard time getting Manny Ramirez out. For pitchers of the Arizona Diamondbacks, it is nearly an impossible task. Ramirez went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 runs batted in as the Los Angeles Dodgers broke their 8-game losing streak with a 6-2 win over the D-Backs at Chase Field. Ramirez opened the scoring with a solo homer off [...]

Today we are all Hornets

Three years to the day that Katrina devastated a great American city and set in motion chain of events that lead to another minor disaster the citizens of New Orleans are facing yet another threat.

Let us hope as Matt Corn at Hardwood Paroxysm does that the disaster/gravitational pull that is Ron Artest will pull the storm off its present track.

D-Day

---

As I wake up this morning to another season of college football, I also am not forgetting that today is the end of the road as far as hundreds of NFL players go.  Today teams must cut their rosters down to 53.  As far as the Cardinals go, some calls will be tough while others are locks to be cut.

A look at the skill positions:

Quarterback: The Cardinals most likely will carry three QB’s this season.
