The Brewers clearly aren't kicking a whole bunch of ass lately, but there are some things that are looking up. Todd Coffey is clearly the bright spot during the recent shit-show road trip. Coffey has played phenomenally well in Hoffman's absence, and in reality may just straight up take the closer role from the 6 million dollar man (We can rebuild him, he's old as fuck).
Braun seems to remember that he's the face of the franchise and went 5-5 in the Phillies beat-down of us, meaning hopefully his most recent slump is over. Nobody is hitting THAT well, the pitching staff is not performing well either, bullpen especially, and we're still .500. That's great considering how poorly they've been playing in reality. Hoffman will come back, Riske will come back, and that should really solidify things in the pen. The starting rotation will probably be pretty hit or miss all year with Gallardo and Looper being pretty solid. I hope to God Manny Parra bears some resemblance of his previous knowledge of pitching, he's seeming real Dontrelle Willis-like where he has no idea what he's doing out there anymore.
NFL Draft is coming up and I will certainly be watching. The only advice I want to reach across is to the Jacksonville Jaguars in stating if they move up and pick a player they could've gotten two rounds later, I'm looking at your underperforming punk-ass Derrick Harvey, I'm going to just snap. If Mike Crabtree is available and he is not taken I will be drinking myself into a coma.
Somebody also fill me in on how ESPN can just change the draft until 3pm CST. They are just milking this thing for all its worth. 8 hours of coverage before and 8 hours of drafting? How can't there be a full on brawl between Kiper and McShay at some point? I'd also like to see Merrill Hoge get punched in the face, or Sean Salisbury get beaten to death while John Clayton lights him on fire.
