Yardwork: Something Brewing
Uncategorized September 10th. 2007, 7:59am
New York 4, Houston 1: So much for the Mets losing the NL East. Pedro scattered six hits in five innings and New York’s bullpen held up for the sweep. Nice work by Willie galvanizing the team like Voltron after the disaster in Philly two weeks ago.
Chicago 5, Pittsburgh 10: Buh-bye, first place. Dropping two of three against a last place team will do that to you.
Milwaukee 10, Cincinnati 5: The Brewers hit six homers and Ben Sheets got the win. Milwaukee’s back in first, one ahead of the Cubs, and three ahead of the Cards. Ryan Braun continues to amaze: 30 homers and 79 RBI in 94 games. Know what that projects to over a season? We don’t.
New York 6, Kansas City 3: A-Rod hit No. 52 and the Yanks swept the Royals. The guess here is that he ends with 58.
St. Louis 5, Arizona 6: If you’re wondering how Rick Ankiel did this weekend with the HGH stories swirling: 1-for-10. The Cardinals were swept, and you have to wonder how much this has to do with the Ankiel news.

And if the Yankees don’t win the World Series, Yankee fans will blame A-Rod and not want him back. Morons.

Didn’t you say something about the Brewers and a body bag not too long ago? It’s okay, I counted them out too.

As happy as I am about the Brewers run over the last 10 game but believe it or not the next 3 games in Pittsburgh are a huge test
PNC has been a regular house of horrors for the Crew so if they can go in and take 2 of 3 from the pesky Pirates in PNC I will really start believing they have recaptured their April form.
Sheets coming back has totally changed the make up of their starting rotation and Suppan is starting to find his second half groove he has pitched better than his record indicates.
This next series will tell us if the Crew is for real.

Did Ryan Braun take the remaining amount of HGH that Ankiel had left over?
Ankiel is a disgrace, but Braun keeps hitting HRs and an alarming rate and no one says a word? Hmmmm…

The optimist thinks the glass is half full.
The pessimist thinks it’s half empty.
The Cubs fan looks at the glass and wonders when it’s going to tip over and spill.

I love the Brewers bashers who use the same mantra Prince is fat Braun is on HGH or Juice etc.
It is nice finally to have players good enough for mopes like IU grad to be jealous about them.
I guess A-Rod is on HGH too because he can hit home runs.
Here is the difference and I will keep it simple since you went to IU
Braun’s name has not shown up on any list saying he was getting HGH mailed to him. That is why no one is talking about Braun and HGH I do not remember anyone talking about Ankiel and HGH till his name surfaced on that list.
Here is an idea IU maybe Braun is just that good maybe the Crew have finally gotten it right over the last 7 years or so with their draft picks.

wsb, you’re right that there aren’t any rumors at this time about braun. but, the news on ankiel and troy glaus date back to 2003 and 2004 so shouldn’t we give it a it a little time?

Unless HGH is hidden in pizza, no way Fielder in taking it.
I’ll go back to my original argument, and Ill keep this simple, because, since I went to IU thats the only way I know how.
How does taking HGH or any other “stimuant” help you hit a baseball?
My guess is Ankiel and Braun are super athletes who have a God given talent to hit a baseball. Unfortunatley, during his second bout with arm surgery, Ankiel decides to go the route of HGH, of course that was 3 years ago which Im sure has heldover to this season.
I never claimed Braun was taking anything, of course, how would you know since it cant be tested for and the players union refuses to give blood samples? Seems pretty safe to me.

Tough to say anyone’s definitely clean, but Braun’s history
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Braun
seems consistent …

TenJay I have no issues with people looking at Ankiel there is pretty solid evidence that he took HGH for what ever reason. My issue was with IU Grad saying that because Braun is having a monster first year he must be on the juice. I am just tired of hearing that when there is no evidence that Braun is not clean.
I am just sticking up for Brewers players is all.
“Ankiel is a disgrace, but Braun keeps hitting HRs and an alarming rate and no one says a word? Hmmmm…” IUGrad
That sounds like you are saying Braun is on juice if you are going to slander people do it right admit to it. Don’t hide behind insinuations
You should be happy this year IU Grad With Notre Dames problems you guys are not the worst football team in Indiana(I am assuming that IU is for Indiana) so smile and lighten up. Go bash Barry Bonds or Sammy Sosa they deserve it not Braun.
