Summer Thoughts
It’s been a busy spring for the Ranter - his baby boy’s first birthday approaches, his beautiful little girl does something new and hilarious every day, and Skype 4.0 just came out. So with the actual start of summer right around the corner, I, Mighty Gosling, thought I’d offer a few summer thoughts:
- Three months into the season and we’ve seen three different Brewer teams - the team that went 0 for Boston including an embarassing appearance on national TV, that team’s mirror opposite by going 8-1 on a recent homestand, and then everything in between. Never the less, the team is clearly a wild-card contender especially if the line-up stabilizes. I love Hart up top and who in America isn’t falling in love with Russell Branyan all over again?
- Salomon Torres, or SalTor as i affectionately refer to him, is earning Gagne’s $10 million salary. I’d propose having them swap contracts but i found out SalTor actually makes $3.3 mil and Gagne doesn’t deserve that.
- As i’m writing this, Russell the Muscle just went yard against the Jays. He’s probably the greatest Russell ever to play in the majors.
- Sheets and Braun are obvious All-Stars. But keep your eye on Jason Kendall to wind up in NY. Why not?
- I really tried to like Indiana Jones 4 but come on. The Ark cameo was the best part.
- The Bucks should go crazy this summer. Keep Yi, Bogut, and Ramon Sessions. Everyone else should be on the table.
- You’re still trying to figure out another major leaguer named Russell, aren’t you?
- Javon Walker - $100k in ice? Really? And I thought I was accessorizing with my recently purchased pocket square.
- Kudos to Lindsay Schwartz, Watertown’s volleyball and track star, who took home the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s area female athlete of the year. Go Goslings!
- I hate the Cubs.
