The big topic of the discussion of the Brewers 5-2 week was Ryan Braun's confidence. If you didnt know, Braun was hit in the head by Ryan Dumpster on an attempted bunt well Ryan then hit a homer next at-bat where he looked at it and kept talking shit all the way through the homer. There was a video on YouTube (got taken down), the Cubs announcers just ripped Braun and tell him "Well he will get hit in the ribs." People who feel that Braun is "overconfident" or "cocky"are just plain idiots. I love the fact that he basically says to pitchers "I am going to homer off no matter what." I personally enjoy that we have a guy on our team that a lot of teams do not like and the other thing that pisses me off is the Cubs have guys like Alfonso Soriano and Aramis Ramirez both look at their home runs like it was their first. Now on to the Brewers week...
Monday: I wrote last week about how great Rickie Weeks' year has been so far and he continued that with a three-run homer in the ninth inning. Another comeback win for the Brewers when their ace Yovani Gallardo wasnt at his best and when the Crew is winning like that, things are going well.
Tuesday: Once again, the overall ownage of the Pirates happened again with another victory. The other great thing was to see JJ Hardy break out of his season-long slump so far and Corey Hart also had big game. As Bailey said in a Facebook status, "Next time National Security has problems with Pirates, they should call the Brewers."
Wednesday: JJ Hardy hit a three run homer in the first then Ryan Braun hit a grand slam in the second and it was game over from the on out. Manny Parra needed a confidence builder and this was it so I really hope that Parra will have his shit straight for awhile.
Thursday: You hate to see the pitcher beat you but when its Micah Owings, its basically like having an actual ninth batter. Braden Looper had his first bad start of the year and I am okay with that right now at this season.
Friday: A great outing by Dave Bush and I expected to get dominated by Randy Wells making his major league debut. Then JJ puts a charge in on the sixth and Ryan Braun puts a dent to win in the 8th. Great, great win.
Saturday: This was a great game to watch because the game was in limbo for awhile until Craig Counsell, yes that Craig Counsell hits a homer then Ryan Braun hits one shortly there after. Then they tack six more in the inning then three more in the next.
Sunday: It was a game the Brewers should have win with all of the guys they left on base but what can you do it happens all the time. Just so it doesnt happen consistently its okay. The Jason Kendall (great series for him) error killed the Crew during that third inning.

Hey Chuck. Just your ex-roomate. Could I get my magazines back?
I'm good.
Pat, Connor stole them all. I am sorry I tried to pry them from him but I was unsuccessful.
