Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

WATCH OUT everyone, Ryan Braun has his own energy drink. Or something. It’s called Limelite Fusion Drink and Braun is just one of several athletes who are sponsoring this low-calorie, low-caffeine energy beverage. Also sponsoring the drink are six more Brewers, a handful of other baseball players, plus, Ken Griffey Jr., Reggie Miller, and two champion fighters of some sort. According to the website, it’s currently being sold at your local Piggly Wiggly, Festival Foods, Woodman’s Markets, and some other places that I’m pretty sure are made up. Their marketing strategy is flawless, too. With a tag line like “a healthier, alternative, premium fusion drink with great taste,” I’m already sold. AND, u kno Limelite is hip wit da kidz cuz it’s spelled with an i-t-e at the end, yo! I haven’t tried it yet, but let’s be honest — it looks like the Reno of energy drinks. But you tell me. Has anyone tried Limelite Fusion Drink yet? Does it taste like Diet Mountain Dew and strippers? And more importantly, are they selling it at Miller Park yet?

There he is - Trevor Hoffman, ladies and gentlemen! Just kickin’ ass and takin’ names. Thank GOD we beat the Cards last night (no thanks to Ryan Braun) otherwise I would have had to wash down that bottle of Xanax I was clutching toward the end with a glass (or seven) of vodka, and that never really turns out well. Anyway, congratulations to the Hoff, who is nearing 600 saves and has become one of the top 10 closers in MLB history.

Brewers 18, Cubs 1  …Wait, what??? CHICAGO — Prince Fielder drove in five runs and had five of Milwaukee`s season-high 26 hits and Yovani Gallardo tied a season-high with 12 strikeouts as the Brewers pounded Chicago on Monday night. The Cubs tied a franchise record for hits allowed, matching Sept. 2, 1957, when they lost to the Milwaukee Brave. Ryan Braun also had five hits for Milwaukee, which snapped a five-game losing streak. The Cubs have lost a season-high six straight and have been outscored 62-17 in that span, including a 17-2 loss to the Rockies over the weekend. Haha, Cubs suck.

The Brew Crew has a handful of players leading the stats in the National League right now. But for some reason we’re still under 500. Congrats are in order for Ricky Weeks for having 58 runs so far, making him #7 in the league Corey Hart for two records: (1) His second place 69 RBI, and his three-way tie for first place with 22 home runs Ryan Braun for his 104 hits, which puts him in sixth place Alcides Escobar for his super sexy name five triples so far, putting him at 7th in the league, and Prince Fielder who’s at 21 pounds overweight homers, right behind Hart
