More Braun fury

"When I saw it on replay today, I was even madder," said Braun. "That was way too high."

"I guarantee you that kid wanted nothing to do with it," said Braun. "It came from somebody else. He wouldn't even look at me."

"We're the wrong team to mess with," said Braun. "No disrespect to anybody but we're a different team."

Is Ryan Braun your favorite player yet? Because he should be. The 2nd quote is my favorite. "He wouldn't even look at me." HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!?!?! And I also love how he constantly refers to Karstens as "kid".

"Yeah. I'm Ryan Braun, who are you? What? Karst-WHO? Didn't you hear me say that I'm Ryan Braun? Stop looking at me, kid."

That's also what he was thinking.

Braun calls out Pirates' hitman

Had you watched the game in due diligence last night, as I did, you would have seen the great Ryan Braun get beaned in the back by Pirates' pitcher Jeff Karstens. The photo above proves that Braun was not too delighted about it. It was obviously intentional and the ump warned both benches.

In the post-game interview with Braun, after the Crew had sufficiently kicked the crap out of the Buccos, Braun called out Karstens and said, "Tell Mr. Selig that next time that kid pitches he's probably getting one in the ribs."

I. LOVE. RYAN. BRAUN.

It might be a better rivalry if the Pirates weren't the Brewers' personal punching bag over the last 2 seasons. 13 STRAIGHT WINS, BABY! HOW DOES THAT TASTE, PIRATES?
