Thank God for Ryan Braun


The title says it all. Every living-breathing Sconnie has been praising Jesus' name since Wednesday when Braun signed his amazing 8 year contract.

Ryan Braun has catapulted himself ahead of Prince Fielder in terms of popularity in signing this deal. Braun is now the most popular Brewer in my significant lifetime(4 years).

Just think back in '79 when the Brewers already had an established star in Robin Yount, and along comes this animal in Paul Molitor(who should have just won Rookie of the Year) and the Brewers are blessed by a surplus of superstars!

This is also how we find ourselves today. Two superstars in Ryan Bran and Prince Fielder. I believe Braun will be in the ranks of Mollie and Robbie Y. It will be interesting to see what becomes of Prince. Buster Olney said on a radioshow that he thinks Prince is gone after this season. I would not be shocked.

The money we would save from dealing Prince we could easily sign Corey Hart long term and even take a gamble on Rickie Weeks. We must have faith in my main man Rickie. Just call me "The Seer". He will break out of his funk one day and realize that he's really really good at baseball. I give him till All-star break.
