Twins Sweep the Brew Crew to get revenge. Baby Jesus gets out of his slump and the mysterious bilateral leg weakness is forgiven.

I don't have a lot of hope for this series, even though the Brewers swept in Milwaukee.

If they can stay within 2 games of the top by the All Star break, I'll be relatively happy with the first half.

The Twins are basically the Oakland A's right now. Good pitching, no offense. They only time they don't lack run production is when they are facing That Bumgarner dude.

Oh, and it's freaking HOT!

I guess Tony Plush and Nyjer Morgan had a pretty good birthday. :) Saito gets the win in his first game back.

Honestly, when I thought about who was batting in the 9th, I didn't think they were going to do it.


Has anyone heard details on Braun's injury? MLB Network's bottom line said strained calf, but that's all I've heard so far.

If anyone cares - from jsonline -
Leftfielder Ryan Braun was out of the lineup for the second day as he recovers from a calf strain in his left leg. Braun tested it on the field during the pre-game workout with trainer Roger Caplinger and felt good enough that there were hopes he could at least be available to pinch-hit Tuesday.

Kind of nice to see baseball's smallest market with 3 All Star starters. I thought Prince only got to start because Albert couldn't play (at that point), but he actually did get more votes.

Prince selects Holliday, Kemp, and...Rickie Weeks for the HR derby.

I guess we're trying the fall behind by a lot strategy today since it worked on Saturday. Commencing comeback in 3....2....?

It's interesting to listen to the guys on both radio and tv talk about how Weeks hits in BP. They say he hits a boatload of homers.

And it looks like Braun is going to miss the AS Game. I think Tony Plush should sub for him.

Saturday will be a conflict...it's Negro Leagues throwback uni day. Let's hope the 1923 Milwaukee Bears unis have some luck in them.

Two walk-off wins on two blown saves by Cordero. :D Brewers tied for first with the Cards at the break.

Thanks for the nice birthday present today, Craig Counsell :)

Happy Birthday!!

A nice place to be at the break. Hopefully they can rest up heading into that brutal road trip.

Brewers trade for Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez. Two players to be named going the other way.

Great move, one concern is will K Rod get pizzy just setting up so the Crew can avoid the zillion dollar re-up for next year?

I still think the Crew needs to make a move at 3rd or ss to shore up the d, with ss being priority. Can't they just bring up the AAA ss and plug him in. He'll be better defensively, and hit for the same ave as Bentancourt. I just don't see a disadvantage to that. Plus he'll probably be faster then Bentancourt as well.

WE ARE EXTREMELY WEAK at SS in the minors. There were reports the Brewers had interest in Rafael Furcal and he should be cheap.

There's a decent write up about it at Amazin Ave. Short form: nobody anybody has ever heard of. Pure salary dump (in this case, a vesting option dump).

KRod's having a good year. Keep him away from family members.
 
Re: Brewers 2011 - Yo...Marcum for the post-season or jen may get a little Greinke

They've managed to keep Nyjer Morgan calm so far, so I hope they can handle another player with anger issues.
