In case anyone forgot how amazing the Brewers are...

Not that it's the only item that proves my brilliance, but even I must say my picks for the all-star game were pretty amazing. Let's look past my Holliday vision and right now focus on how third baseman Ryan Braun became the first Brewers Rookie of the Year since 1992 (Pat Listach). And for the added drama he edged out Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in the closest finish in history.

My dear, dear Ryan Braun- for whatever reason the eyebrows are working so keep it up! For those who don't know Mr. Braun got called up in the last weeks of May and then preceded to bat .324, led NL rookies with 34 home runs and a .634 slugging percentage. He drove in 97 RBIs and also managed to steal 15 bases.

I remain anxious for the pre-season....

Why I Believe in Veronica Mars

In an odd way I find justice that the Yankees are falling apart at the seams. I too have loved things and seen them fall apart despite my well wishing. I have seen great programs (VM and the '05 White Sox) endure pain they have not deserved, and I have mourned that loss. But recently, Yank Manager and Yank A-lister have been rumored to be leaving the "heaven of all heavens" aka the Yankee uniform. Leaving at the same time and in a sort of two for one deal headed towards the same place, LA... of all the gin joints in all the world. Please keep in mind the stats of the oh so many far fleeted Yank play off attempts, the lack of trophies, dollars, and their horrible cost-effective ratio... but the celebrity stock of free time in-fielders on E TV had gone up...so it's a wash, i guess by NY standards. Although, the Yank drama wouldn't get signed by the WB and yet you can still purchase it on DVD. (No justice....)
Back to point. The Brewers and Twins are not rebuilding this off-season; they are not "looking" for new life and new motivation with millions of dollars at their whim. They are training, they are practicing and they are embracing being grounded, skilled and very talented. Right now they embrace being a part of something that works, despite the Yank attempts at dislodging that.
Best of luck to the Yanks this off season with their millions of dollars being put towards their "re-structuring" efforts, and their unpublished trade agreements. Maybe this time they can steal a Red Sox who may actually help, and if not they always have their dollars and the 90's.
