Brewers Sign Aramis Ramirez

The Brewers were badly in need of some good news, and they finally got some today. Aramis Ramirez has signed a three-year deal with Milwaukee, which is really the only good news the Brewers have had in a while. Braun sounds like he is going to be suspended 50 games, and Prince Fielder is almost certainly going to be playing some where else next year.

Ramirez is 33 years old, but he is coming off a pretty damn good year hitting over .300 with 26 HRs and 93 RBIs. The signing rounds out the left side of the Brewers' infield, as they signed Alex Gonzalez to play shortstop last week. Casey McGehee will move across the diamond and play first base.

Ryan Braun Is A Dirty Man

Just when we thought Jewish people were making a significant impact in sports with Ryan Braun winning the NL MVP, we found out this weekend that he failed a PED test and will most likely be suspended 50 games next season.

I guess the test didn't show he failed because of Steroids or HGH but another banned substance. I've always been one to stick up for steroids and people that have used them in the past, but this positive test is disheartening. We are moving past the "steroid era" and even if it wasn't for steroids or HGH, he should have been more careful when taking whatever was banned and should have asked someone.

Even if we found out there was something wrong with the test, this will most certainly tarnish Ryan Braun's career figuring people want to kill people who have only had been guilty of speculation of taking steroids. Either way, I hope somehow this gets cleared up.

P.S. I am completely fine with Braun keeping his MVP title. He should.
