Brewers fans, do you remember Jeff Cirillo - constant pinch-hitter/old man with bad knees? Last off-season we traded him to Minnesota where he promptly messed up his knees more and ended up on the DL. I'd missed it, but apparently he was picked up off of waivers by the Diamondbacks and last night he pitched a (yes, that's PITCHED) an inning Derrick Turnbow and Matt Wise would be jealous of.
Rillo pitched a scoreless ninth inning, giving up two walks and striking out Craig Counsell. Don't think Craig won't get razzed for that for weeks to come.

In a completely unrelated story (but any excuse to post a pic of him), J.J. Hardy is batting an astonishing .433 when he hits from the 8 hole. I'm pretty sure this over 11 or 12 games, but don't quote me. Unreal. Apparently Ned has some aces up his sleeve this season.
