Coolest Guy Ever!

This man is going to be starting in left field for the national league in the All-Star game. Also, in case you don't already now, C.C. Sabathia is now a member of the Milwaukee Brewers! I don't want to jinx this in any way, but this is very exciting stuff for the Brewers, the city of Milwaukee, and the state of Wisconsin. CUBS SUCK!!!

P.S. For the thousands of readers that don't reside in the state of WI, or hail from there as I do, my humble apologies for geocentric post. However, you should become a Brewers. They are the new Red Sox, for real. If you are one of those great people that always cheers for the perennial underdogs, the Brewers are your team. Oh yeah, one more thing, VOTE FOR COREY HART!!!

Going Veggie

According to this Journal Sentinel article, Prince Fielder is now a vegetarian. While I still count myself among the carnivorous ranks, I find this pretty cool. Fielder decided to go meat-less after his wife bought him a book that describes some of the methods utilized to slaughter animals. I have always tried to avoid these books and videos because I love meat, and I also love animals, so I'm afraid that I'd have to stop eating meat, and it just tastes so good! I realize this is lame, and I'm a wuss, but I can't help it.

In other cool Brewer news, Ryan Braun donated his Rookie of the Year bonus to Habitat for Humanity. I mean, how cool is that? This guy is a class-act and a positive presence in the clubhouse. It's stuff like this, and his impressive playing ability, that make Braun my favorite player.

Go Brewers!

Go Crew!

This article from Tom Friend of ESPN magazine is probably the best piece of sport's journalism I've read in an extremely long time. Although the article isn't necessarily about Tony Gwynn Jr.'s hitting ability, after reading it I am more convinced than ever that he should be the starting centerfielder this year. Sorry, Mike Cameron. Anyways, please read this post, and pass it on to any Brewer's fans, or really, baseball fans in general you might know.
