Kirbir's Pictures of the Week

PrintBill Hall returned to the Brewers this week after sitting out with a painful calf injury, as did Braden Looper. Rickie Weeks isn't letting criticism get to him, which is either really good or really really bad. Now Mike Cameron is out of play, with an armpit strain of all things.
If you're interested, you can vote for your favorite player at Right Field Bleachers. You'll never guess who I voted for...
Pictures taken from Yahoo!
Despite Lorenzo Cain's noble efforts, he fails to catch a homer while JJ Hardy looks on with sadness and grief.
JJ tried to make up for the run with his frog-like jumping skills...
Alcides Escobar wanted to cheer JJ up, so he tagged Brent Lillibridge of the Chicago White Sox out...
Then Prince helped out by scoring a run in Saturday's game...
YoGa made some silly faces from the mound...
And soon JJ was back to his good ol' self.
This just goes to show how good teammates can make the worst day turn into a good one, whether or not we get the W. Now, if Ryan Braun could just pull himself together and get more than one measly hit against teams like Puerto Rico...

That's the first I had seen the AP Rickie Weeks article you linked to
DM compares him to Hudson and Roberts:
The 26-year-old Weeks has more homers, walks, runs, stolen bases and a better on-base percentage than those two did at this point with just as many at-bats, but also leads in strikeouts with the lowest batting average.
Things that are relevant here:
- Homers
- Walks
- Runs
- Stolen bases
- OBP
Things that are not relevant:
- Strikeouts
- Batting average
I hate how people refuse to acknowledge that Weeks is about a league-average player with a ton of upside.
The artist formerly known as jihad.
Yeah, he gets a bum rap
But so do some other players…
"If loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right"
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender"
If that refusal to acknowledge makes him cheaper
I think it’ll be okay.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
I like the bat
Floating in the background of the Prince picture…either that or it is stuck to the catcher’s back.
BCB, the preferred above replacement level sarcasm supplier.
Prince is looking a bit slimmer in this pic
don’t you think?
He does actually
He’s lost some of his fluff.
"If loving CC is wrong I do not want to be right"
"If lovin’ Braun is wrong, I want to be a repeat offender"
