Piling On Hillenbrand

How about that? A home run from the designated hitter. It's about time Shea Hillenbrand went yard. Except for the fact that the DH tonight was Kendry Morales. For those of you keeping track at home, that's one home run for Morales and zero for Hillenbrand.

I'm curious to see who the DH is tomorrow. It's a day game so the lineup doesn't always include the "starters". Maybe Morales has earned the spot. Maybe it still beongs to Hillenbrand. Maybe Hillenbrand will be there tomorrow to give the (new) regular guy (Morales) a day off. Then again, if I were a betting man I'd place my money on Vladimir Guerrero.
