The high and low of a day in baseball...

There is certainly the have and the have-nots in major league baseball this season.

Unfortunately, the Arizona Diamondbacks can be found embedded among the have-nots. In baseball yesterday, August 4, the New York Yankees, in front of 47,659 fans, knocked off the Toronto Blue Jays, 5-1, as superstar Alex Rodriquez blasted his 600th career home run. At Chase Field, it was a different story as the Diamondbacks closed out a hot summer day in Arizona with a dismal 7-2 loss to the Washington Nationals in front of a season-low crowd of 15,670.

Of course Chase Field holds 48,633 and that left plenty of room for big Adam Dunn, a former D'back, to bounce a couple of dingers around the empty spaces. As for the Yankees, it was win number 67 on the season. For the Diamondbacks, it was loss number 68. The beat goes on as the Yankees head for another World Series and the Diamondbacks head back to the drawing board.
