Thursday, March fourth starts off the games.

The awards were given out by a panel of 31 MLB GMs and their assistants, which makes it even cooler that Braun was voted for with every NL ballot.

Joe Mauer, the Twins catcher, received the most votes, followed by Albert Pujols, Chase Utley, and Brauny.

Well warranted, I say. Way to go, Casey!

Awesome.

He got his 205th K right after getting his 100th RBI of the season last night. He currently is second in HRs too, with 43. Maybe some of the people on our team can learn from his "let it go" attitude.

It's good to see that he's healthy again. Now Manny, if you're reading, get a win against those dang Phillies.

It doesn't seem like Gallardo was really happy about skipping his last start, so the possibility that they would bench him for the rest of the year seems really slim. He really wants to play out the rest of the season and, with what happened last year, who can blame him?

We'll see what happens after the team talks to Yovani.

"He will continue physical therapy," Ash said. "Mr. Burns will join us on Friday to make sure we have sufficient back-up."

In Ash language, this means either Butler or Narveson will probably start. As someone going through a similar situation, I can safely say that Parra won't be ready by Friday.
