Get your Brewer T's HERE!!

Attention Brewer Fans! 

It's time to start printing the Brewer T-shirts!  They will be printed at a great local small business in Madison, WI: Madtown Printing.  They use environmentally friendly processes & inks; their quality is top-notch. Both designs are done in halftones, which you can see close-ups of around the edges.  

MVBraun - pretty self explanatory.  I love Ryan Braun, he's the MVP. Great to show your support for Ryan during this whole scandal thing, but PERFECT if you want to keep wearing it & forget it never happened after it's all said & done.  Ink is Navy &  White.

Rock the Keg - This one is inspired by Nyjer Morgan's affectionate nickname for Miller Park.  He called it 'The Keg' in several interviews & asked Brewer fans to 'Rock the Keg.'  Graphic features Miller Park as a keg complete with tapper! Ink is Blue (more of a retro Brewer's blue) & White.

They are available in sizes M-XXL, & will cost you only $17 for a one-of-a-kind item!  $17 includes tax but not shipping.  Though I am a nerd I do not know how to set up a shopping cart or have my blog automatically take orders, so please email: on.base.w.mr.beast@gmail.com and let me know which shirt, size, & color.  Because this is more of a hobby & labor of love, I am waiting until I have a number of pre-orders before having shirts printed up.  (After enough orders come in, I'll contact you for payment/shipping.)  But if you are patient you will have a one-of-a-kind Brewer shirt that everyone will be asking you about! As before, the same images are available on a wide array of products at my CafePress shop.

Thanks for stopping - another post goes up New Years Day (an actual article this time i swear)

Standing by Ryan Braun

Never in a million years did I think this would be my first real blog entry. Enough has already been said about NLVP Ryan Braun, who is appealing his positive test for performance enhancing drugs, and so my comments will be short and sweet.  I believe Ryan Braun is innocent, for several reasons.

1) He says he is innocent, and I believe he is a man of his word.

2) I think Braun cares deeply about his image and legacy, and so would not risk it. 

3) Braun has consistently been a tremendous performer his whole career, and has been tested for substances his whole career.  So either he’s been taking PEDs his whole career and been incredibly lucky to avoid detection, or this is BS as he says.  

I think it is incredibly unfair that Braun has to suffer the consequences of a premature report before all facts are known.  Whomever leaked the report should be held accountable for the damage they are doing to his reputation.  Regardless of the outcome that is a breach of privacy and players are entitled to have testing kept private until the issue is fully resolved.

My favorite comments on the matter come from fellow Braun supporter, @MadameKarenina . She tweets:

I've defended #Braun all night. If he does not win the appeal, I will not set foot in Miller Park again. That's how much I believe him. He's not a cheater, and he's not stupid. He'd have to be both to use.

Well said.  Now we just have to have patience while this all plays out. Hang in there, Ryan.

And here’s the entry that was supposed to be posted today:

I had expected to post entries daily about my virtual journey to AZ via my exercise bike, but then I realized I didn’t really have enough to base a daily blog post on.  As a result I will be beginning my ‘regularly scheduled programming’ ASAP contingent upon getting my crap together.  My first idea was to have a rigid schedule (such and such on first and third Monday, that sort of thing) but I think I’d rather go more free-form so this is more fun and less obligation.  Features include:

Riding to AZ – once a week with summary of progress

Monthly Feature – in depth article of substantial length

Baseball Book review – I read a book.  Then I review it.

Can of Corn – Photoshop comic featuring Mr. Beast et al

Talk Tuesday – interviews with players and others

The Wednesday Weird – strange stories in the world of baseball

Thursday Purrs and Grrrs. – Opinion editorial

Favorite Friday – pretty straightforward, I talk about my faves
