It's not that I haven't paid attention to the Brewers, it's just that the team has become so frustratingly mediocre that it's not fun any longer. For much of the past three months I've said to myself "Who's blowing it now?" when I check the score. Unfortunately, it's been many.
In any case, a few major life events of this modest grain elevator manager have passed and I may contribute more to this site. Obviously the Brewers were limited in their moves this year, and just as I predicted out of spring training, this was going to be a buffer year before they officially "go for it" once again next season.
The glaring need is a starter who pitches innings ... and there's a few of them out there. I'm certain once the pain of the revolving door of starters and relievers is over this season, the team position will be clear to us all.
As for the Cardinals ... I don't know how they do it.
