Tim Dillard?... Really?
As I write this at 12:51 on Monday it appears as if Tim Dillard will serve as the latest batting practice pitcher to take the mound for our beloved Milwaukee Brewers. His start would come on Tuesday replacing Mike Burns( quick idea for Prince Fielder...in next years Home Run Derby why not bring along Burns or Chris Smith or Jeff Suppan...they sure seem willing and able to groove batting practice fastballs with the best/worst of them). This makes me think that something might be in the works as no team that actually considers themselves playoff caliber would really trot another tomato can like Dillard out to the mound to pitch in a pennant race. Might Doug Melvin and Jack Z.( I don't know how to spell his name) be talking about a Hardy for Washburn and others trade? The others possibly being hard throwing but underachieving Brandon Morrow? If this thing was to get done fast Washburn could make the Tuesday start and while certainly not as sexy as CC, combined with Alcides Escobar's starting debut, Tuesday night might be kind of fun.

i'm really looking to meet all the great listeners at brisco county grill on friday! now on to the brew-haas, their pitching depth just is not anywhere close to where it needs to be if you're even thinking about a playoff run. every pitcher they bring up from the minors show nothing the opposing hitters need to worry about. i really don't understand the prognosticators talking up the brew-haas minor league talent i just don't see it(who have the brew-haas called up during the season to help out?).and with the nats coming to town, they have to sweep them to get back in the race for the division.
