Cardinal Ticket Sales
Season ticket sales are lagging behind the pace of the Arizona Cardinals' first two years at University of Phoenix Stadium, but club officials don't expect a streak of 20 straight sellouts to end in 2008. Sales aren't that far behind 2006 and 2007, when the team sold its allotment of season tickets before summer started. The Cardinals have sold out every game at University of Phoenix Stadium since it opened in 2006.

DBack Injuries
The Diamondbacks placed left fielder Eric Byrnes on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday. Catcher Chris Snyder also joined him. Both players were injured Monday night against Milwaukee. Byrnes strained his left hamstring and Snyder suffered what was diagnosed as a left testicular fracture after he was struck by a foul ball off the bat of Corey Hart. Right-hander Connor Robertson was called up from Triple-A Tucson to replace Byrnes, and catcher-utility player Robby Hammock was summoned from Tucson to replace Snyder. It is uncertain how long Byrnes and Snyder will be sidelined or whether Snyder will require surgery.

The left fielder had spent a month on the DL before coming back. He pulled up as he tried to steal third in the second inning. He never reached the bag and was thrown out by Jason Kendall. He limped off the field and into the clubhouse.
