He's making a hell of a case for it.  But, just because of my utter fear that Gabe Kapler might read this and I'd suffer the wrath of his fury, I'm gonna have to say no. 

Seriously though, Braun is starting to look really, REALLY good at the plate.  Taking pitches, being patient, and when the pitcher gets the nerve to throw one in the strike zone..... that's all she wrote.  His defense will come around (and yes, I know he doesn't have any errors in left, but there's a lot more to playing outfield than errors) and he'll start getting better jumps on the ball with some experience.  The kid already has a cannon for an arm.  Now, if Prince can get hot, look out.  These two can easily put up enough offensive every day to single handedly win games when they get rolling. 

Good win today, and Gabe, look out, you got some competition......

Cliff Lee is the new Gabe Kapler, at least according to ESPN he is.

Cliff Lee is on fire, but he's no Gabe Kapler.  ESPN doesn't know sh!t....


But seriously, if ESPN says something, I tend to automatically think the opposite.  It's the safest bet.

Come to think of it, didn't ESPN (being the east coast homers they are) crown the Mets NL champs before the season even began?  Seems like that's working out well........

That is true. If you're not the Red Sox or Yankees, you have to wait for about 30 minutes before you can see your teams highlights on SportsCenter. Although, if something incredible happens during the game, they'll show the highlights right after the show the Boston, NYY highlights.

Ryan Braun is Ryan Braun!  The guy is a machine, and obviously he has found his stroke!  Look out NL Central, cause the Brewers are coming in HOT!!!  Prince does not even look comfortable at the plate, very impatient, and chasing horrible pitches.  Wainwright got him on the same damn curveball back to back.  He made Prince look foolish.  Why don't we give Cory Hart some big time props!  probably the most under rated right fielder in the league.  With a .304 batting average, how can that be.  Now all we need is for Weeks and Cameron to start getting on base, so Brauny can have something other than solo homers!

Ryan Braun=taking advantage of poor pitching over the weekend....that's all, nothing more.

And before you Cardinal fans come after me for that statement, know that it was meant in reference only to this past weekend. This season they have been great, but this weekend, they looked like a bunch of Gagne's out there.
