Wednesday's Frosty Mug

I had a Nutrisoda yesterday. It was fantastic. Then the Brewers won. I went online and ordered a case.

Ok, I'm as eager as anybody to move on, but most of today's most interesting Brewer links are still about Fielder/Parra, so let's bust out some more bullet points: I know we're all sick of conversations about Fielder's diet too, but Red Hot Mama has a post on Fielder's caloric intake that actually raises interesting questions.

Does it seem to you like the Brewers might be on pace to set a single-season record for solo home runs? They're not.

If Corey Hart stays hot, pretty soon we'll all be stealing hairstyle ideas from Vanilla Ice.

The Canadian Olympic team won't return from Beijing until after the signing deadline, so the Brewers went ahead and signed Brett Lawrie yesterday. If his Olympic performance is anything like his triple-crown winning performance in the Junior World Championships, his stock should go up pretty fast.

On injuries:

Joba Chamberlain is going to see Dr. James Andrews.
Blue Jays utilityman Joe Inglett missed yesterday's game with "a wonky left knee." Apparently medical terminology is different in Canada.
O's OF Adam Jones has a broken foot and is likely out for the year.
Billy Wagner is on the DL with a strained forearm.
Rangers closer C.J. Wilson is headed to the DL with bone spurs in his elbow.

A mystery has been solved and we can all rest easier. MurrayChass.com's real author is...Murray Chass.

I don't know if MurrayChass.com is banned in China, but I can tell you that joeposnanski.com is, which will probably make it difficult for him to blog from the Olympics.

Jose de Jesus Ortiz is still upset over Monday's Cubs/Astros game being played through a tornado warning. He's calling for discipline for crew chief Wally Bell, and raises the question of whether the game would have continued if the Cubs were winning. As is frequently the case, MLB has no interest in publicly disclosing their thought process on the matter.

Jim Caple says closer is the most overrated position in sports. His favorite team must have a good one.

Would you like to preserve a piece of history in your home? How about a seat from Shea Stadium? Willing to pay $869 for one? I didn't think so. Consider making an investment in this flood relief charity auction instead.

Drink up.

Prince's BMR

I think the problem with Red Hot Mama’s post on Prince BMR is that she is trying to calculate how much Prince would have to eat in actual vegatables. I would suspect that the true calculation should be made in vegatarian pizza, nachos, pasta and protein shakes.

yep

lots of donuts involve hydrogenated vegetable fats, etc which are perfectly vegan but perfectly unhealthy as well.

he appears to be gaining weight (at least to me) so that means he’s a) not maintaining muscle and/or b) gaining fat.

I really want to know if he has a nutritionist advising him on getting a sufficient amount all of his essential amino acids and minerals (I would guess that vitamins would not be a problem…) from natural food sources (and not dietary suppliments which aren’t properly absorbed).

funny line about yesterday's game from Erardi at the Enquirer

The Brewers were peppering the walls and gaps like they were trying to spice up cheap meat.

TH calls this line-up a "pot-luck line-up with all kinds of this and that."

I don’t see anything too strange except Counsell spelling Hardy and Hall playing against a RHP.

2B Rickie Weeks
SS Craig Counsell
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
3B Bill Hall
CF Mike Cameron
C Jason Kendall
RHP Jeff Suppan

Thought that was odd as well

TH always seems to have some sort of remark like that when Weeks gets the start.

Maybe he heard that recently

And has been dying to use it on a getaway day lineup, no matter who’s actually playing.

Did Counsell kidnap one of Yost's kids?

Suddenly we can’t go two days without seeing him in the lineup. Whatever Counsell did, Rivera was around and taking notes.

Prince, should really

look into wearing a sports bra. His boobies bouncing last night from third to home rivaled some of the best I have seen when they come jogging down on the Price is Right.

Let's buy him a manssiere
