Awesome<\/u>:\u00a0 Some British guy just won $2 million<\/a> on a ONE DOLLAR BET<\/p>\n

Not Awesome<\/u>:\u00a0 Brad Lidge just hurt the same knee<\/a> that he had surgery on last year throwing batting practice in Spring Training today.<\/p>\n

Smart<\/u>:\u00a0 The Brewers are looking to sign Ryan Braun<\/a> to a long-term deal.\u00a0 As noted in the article linked by Doogan yesterday, Ryan Howard’s arbitration coup may change the landscape of young players and their contracts for a long time.<\/p>\n
