... Yovani Gallardo, the talented young Brewers ace, looks to have thrown his last pitch of the season.  This, to me, is really sad, because I love watching this kid pitch, even though it's for one of our chief rivals.  Of course, Gallardo basically appears to just be following in the tradition of talented young Brewers ace pitchers.  See also: Sheets, Ben, 2004-present.   ...
