Meet Beano Cook, the Godfather of College Football. There is many things he loves, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Tomato soup to name a few. However, baseball is not one of them. Beano hates the fact that baseball is such a long season, and he also hates hearing about it in the offseason. I remember when Beano was on a radio show every Thursday, and he would name off the number off days til pitchers and catchers report, and he would claim this is the day hell freezes over. Good stuff. I think ESPN might be on to something here with "Cookin' with Beano." If you ask me, the more Beano airtime, the better for everyone.
I do love Beano Cook, but I don't always agree with him. I didn't agree when he said Ron Paulus would win 2 Heismann's, and I don't agree with his hatred for baseball. I am very excited that pitchers and catchers reported over the weekend. I had some friends visiting from out of town, and I didn't get to a computer at all other than to spit my lyrics in the SeaLab for the new Jeejumcry album. I was pretty much in a drunken haze all weekend.
So, imagine my suprise when I hopped on my computer Sunday night to find out that Yovani Gallardo tore a cartilage in his knee. He is supposed to miss 3-4 weeks after having the knee surgery this morning. Brewers' Assistant GM and Medical Director seems optamistic.
"I don't think it's common, but it is an athletic injury and it is a relatively routine procedure and routine recovery time," said Ash, who heads the organization's medical program. "As with any medical condition, everybody is different, but we're guessing right now that, depending on how he handles the surgery and how much swelling there is, that he should be back participating in a month.
On other Brewers' news, JJ Hardy reached a deal with the Brewers avoiding arbitration. I think this is a fair deal. Hardy had a great first half last year and reached the All-Star Game. I think if Hardy duplicates his first half performance from last year, $2.65 million would be bargain price for him.
Things have been great for the new Brewers. Mike Cameron was happy to see the excitement in the clubhouse. He participated in working out when he was planning on sitting out on the optional days. Eric Gagne even apologized to the Brewers for, well, um, nothing. He said he was sorry to the team, his family and fans. But, he didn't specify what he was sorry for. He should apologize for being a stupid Canadian. Like Bryan Adams.

Wow. I am surprised about Beano Cook's extreme hatred for baseball. I had no idea he was such a communist. Just kidding. I do enjoy a good rant by Beano, but I also could not be more excited for baseball. I am a little worried about Yovani, mainly because his name looks similar to Yanni, and that is almost as bad as Bryan Adams. I say 'almost' because:
1. Yanni is not Canadian
2. Because the limo driver I used for my wedding loved the long haired pianist and drove him around when he was in Milwaukee.
Anyway, I think Yovani will be ok, and I am looking forward to seeing him light up the BOSOX!
There is nothing wrong with Bryan Adams
Ahhh...nothing wrong....the guy is Canadian. Canadian=wrong. America Jr.
