"There was a time, a time before a .500 record, when a local baseball player reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to attend baseball games. And in Milwaukee, one baseball player was more man then the rest. His name was Russell Branyan. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and a swing so fine it made Griffey Jr. look like a hobo. In other words, Russell Branyan was the balls."

OMG new signature right here.........i love the anchorman reference (best movie of all time)

Brian, you need to dig the 3TO shirts out of the depths of your hard drive.

[Kurt]

F U N F A C T ! ! !

 

The home run ball isn't everything but Branyan has hit more home runs in just 100 minor league at bats this year than Gwynn has hit in his more than 2,000 total at bats as a professional playing career.

[trwi7]

A Brewers win and a 3TO callup? These last few hours have been awesome. This calls for a sexy party!

Are the Rays where they are today because of Branyan? I think so.

I have never drank alcohol in my life, but man this is tempting me right now!

Branyan: "I don't know quite how to put this, but...I'm kind of a big deal. People at Brewerfan.net know me."

 

Trenni Kusnierek: "Well, I'm very happy for you."

 

Branyan: "I'm very important. I have many leather-bound infielder's gloves and my bats smell of rich mahogany."

im loving these posts!

[sbrylski]

I love how Branyan has been escalated to God-like status.

 

Objective me says good move, Hall needs a platoon partner badly and Branyan is at the least serviceable.

 

The other part of me says, Wahoo!!! Branyan the Manyan, Russell the Muscle, welcome back to your rightful kingdom where you truly reign supreme!

[Team Canada]

The futures so bright I need rose-colored shades..

[ELCABALLO45]

Russell Branyan: 1001, 1002, 1003.

 

Trenni: Uh, Mr. Branyan? Yost said you wanted to be Interviewed.

 

Branyan: Oh, Miss Trenni. I wasn't expecting company. Just doing my workout. Tuesday's arms and back.

 

Trenni: Well, you asked me to come by, sir.

 

Branyan: Oh, did I?

 

Trenni: Yes.

 

Branyan: Ohh, it's the deep burn. Oh, it's so deep. Oh, I can barely lift my right arm 'cause I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting. I did over a thousand.

[Crew2323]

Brewerfan.net: Take me to Pleasure Town.

Russell Branyan: Oh, we're going there.

 

"Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention. I've just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. I need all of you, to stop what you're doing and listen. 3TO!"

 

Today we spell "redemption"... 3-T-O.

[HurricaneBraun]

What is 3TO?

[zzzmanwitz]

oh how nice it will be seeing another lefty in the lineup...

 

I love me some 3TO!!!

3 True Outcomes

 

Homerun

 

Strikeout

 

Walk

[HurricaneBraun]

I dont get it

[giffted1]

Billy Hall - What's it like, Russ?

Russell Branyan - Making plays on defense? Outta sight, my man.

Craig Counsell - No, the other thing - hitting home runs.

Tony Gwynn - Yeah, what is that?

Russell Branyan - Do you guys really want to know how to play ball?

Tony Gwynn - More than anything in the world, Russ.

Welcome back, Russell. It all has come full circle. And for fun, A stroll down memory lane.

 

 

[ELCABALLO45]

It means Russell Branyan will either... Hit a home run, Strike out or Walk.

[HurricaneBraun]

And that is a good thing?

no base hits?

[Crew2323]

Those are the three true outcomes that don't involve fielders.

[And That]

The home run is the ultimate base hit. If you need to ask why, ask Russ Branyan.

[HurricaneBraun]

I'll just take your word for it. So he plays 3B? Where does that put Hall? on the bench?

Or will Branyan be strictly a PH?

[bullox]

It's the ultimate battle between batter and pitcher, where fielders are rendered irrelevant. Rob Deer once held an esteemed perch amongst the 3TO Demigods, but now is the time for Russell the Muscle to reign supreme amongst all underlings in the 3TO universe.

[And That]

Branyan's current 3TO% = 52.5. OOOOOOOOOOO.
