brains and braun

Thanks for the heads up.

Looking to buy a Uecker alarm clock if anyone has extras. Also have some TRats bobbles I'd part with from this year and last if a trade appeals.

And this one... http://deadspin.com/why-your-cardinals-suck-1443513646

Never liked RRR. That said, this team sure seems streaky. It's a long season. I suspect they wind up right around .500 give or take a few. Don't like the bullpen. I expect almost every guy to bring the gas can in with him.

I can't contribute, but these are hilarious. I almost peed my pants at that cat.

Two great seats right below the press box. Section 217 Row 7, Seats 11 & 12. Face is $55, which is what I'm asking.

Anyone have ESPN Insider to give the gist of the Buster Olney article? He seems to be saying not to rush to judgment one way or the other.

I read an article on Arod's use, and I believe it said that his treatments were costing him ~$12,000/month. So having a tab of $20,000-$30,000 wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility.

"The third record is a letter from Bosch that appears to be to Juan Nunez, a former runner for the ACES sports agency that represents Cabrera, Cruz and Gonzalez. Though undated, it congratulates "Juan" on "the MVP award" – a possible reference to Cabrera's All-Star Game MVP – and continues: "This smells like the 'Braun' advantage." This part of the report seems particularly damning to me. May not list specific ped use, but not good.

Seems like you're not a great WI athlete until you completely tarnish your legacy. See: Favre, Brett.

I can understand feeling ambivalent about this on a moral level, I suppose, but obviously there are all sorts of implications about the Brewers season and future of the team with his huge contract.

Karma gods are punishing us for all the schaudenfreude over the Chris Carpenter news.

Is it too soon to ask if Robin will shoot Deer next?

Ordered three for gifts! Thanks!
