Sele Stretching His Limits

I couldn't help but feel a little hopeless five days ago when I read an article in the LA Times that said Grady Little was planning on saving Aaron Sele from work during much of August in hopes that he would be rested to be an integral part of the Dodger's stretch run. At the time, I laughed under my breath and hoped I would never see the day when the Dodgers would be counting on anything more than Sele as a batting practice pitcher. The guy had a good first month of his season, but has pretty much stunk after that. This article popped back into my head in the 13th, 14th, and 15th innings of last night's game at about 1:00 a.m. local time as I watched Sele escape bases loaded and one out situations twice and then proceed to walk relief pitcher and Dixie State College's own Brandon Lyon in his first at bat of the season who scored the winning run when Orlando Hudson hit a walk-off homerun with two outs.

We keep hearing about all the prospects the Dodgers have yet they continue to throw guys out there like Sele who stink.
