MILWAUKEE, WI — The Milwaukee Brewers made a stunning move following their four-game sweep of the Cardinals Thursday, when they released Ryan Braun and Solomon Torres, two of the best players on their team.
“Basically, when we looked at the fabric of our club, these guys just don’t fit in anymore,” said Brewers manager Ned Yost. [...]

It’s All I Have Left, Folks
We may very well look back at the 4-game sweep by the Brewers as the point where the Cardinals' wheels fell off. I said yesterday, I didn't expect to win the CC Sabathia game, but in all 3 others we had a lead late into the game and our bullpen blew it. That is unacceptable. [...]
Ryan Braun is the Real Natural
Ryan Braun homered twice last night to bring his season total to 30, sending two misguided pitches into the seats in the first two innings, just like he had done 28 times previously in his brief major league career, just like he has been doing all season long.
He's a pull hitter who doesn't need to pull everything. He's a power hitter who can can hit for average....

Corey Koskie Likely Done, Braun Could Step In
Still struggling from post-concussive syndrome after a "freak fielding fall" on July 5th, Corey Koskie was a no-show at Brewers camp. This could open the door for five tool prospect Ryan Braun. Braun, who was expected to spend most of the year at Triple-A, could win the Brewers 3B job with a big spring. He recently impressed in the Arizona Fall League by hitting .326.

Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder and the Race Card
It has now been a week since Ryan Braun signed his record-breaking contract extension with the Milwaukee Brewers, but there is an issue that seemingly is not going away on several sports radio shows. Many people feel that race was an issue when the Brewers signed Braun over first basemen Prince Fielder.
For the sake of saving several people that may accuse me of racism, let me...

Hardy to White Sox?
According to a source, the Brewers will try to trade J.J. Hardy this offseason in order to make room for shortstop prospect Alcides Escobar. Hardy is the top shortstop in the National League, and he would only hurt his value by moving to third base, so moving him appears to be the only option. The Brewers gave Ryan Braun time to develop in the minors before calling him up in 2007...
One Inning, Four Strikeouts
Scott Baker accomplished an unthinkable task in the third inning of today's finale against the Milwaukee Brewers, he struck out four hitters in one inning.
He started the inning by striking out Ryan Braun. He then struck out Prince Fielder, but the ball bounced into the dirt and past the catcher Redmond to allow Fielder to reach safely. He ended the inning by fanning Russell...

As if the playoffs aren't painful enough to watch for Pirate fans...-Basically everyone on the Rays should have been drafted by us. Jason Bay is tearing it up for the Red Sox.
