And as you say, Ron, there don't appear to be any reinforcements on the horizon. Speaking of which, I wonder why the front office saw fit to release the apparently healthy Brian Bullington a few weeks ago? Not that he's got much left, but his 5-plus big league ERA looks better than the other flotsam and jetsam we've run out there to this point. JVB? Herrera? Barthmeier? <BR/><BR/>***SHUDDER***<BR/><BR/>BTW, the fact that the team has NOT gone back to Gorzellany means they are really hacked off about him. If they're this desperate for pitching and haven't recalled him....well, you tell me. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I'd give Jason Davis a look, because he does---somehow---have 20 major league wins. I was shocked when he got demoted all the way down to double-A Altoona, but he's pitched pretty well for Indianapolis since going back up to triple-A, and like I said: he does have some big league experience and a handful of wins. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, methinks Phil Dumatrait is hurt a lot worse than we're being told. Too bad, he was an excellent scrapheap pickup and for about six weeks there, was far and away our best starting pitcher. Maybe he'll make it back, we'll see. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise, we need a trade for some pitching in the worst possible way. In fact, in general, it's past time to throw in the towel on this season and remake this team for the long haul. That means: Nady, LaRoche, Marte/Grabow, Ronnie Paulino, and Jack Wilson, pack you bags. If the front office has the guts, that is.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
