Ryan "Calamity" Braun damaged his knee meniscus today. He is expected to be out for two weeks. The Brewers are currently 2-3 in spring season. The
Buffalo Blizzards and
Chicago Cubs are the best NL Central teams so far. They carry both a 3-2 record.

Cory Van Allen who was considered to have a chance on making the active roster, got a herniated disc in his first start for the Brewers. After only ten pithces he was done. He is out for seven weeks and won't be back until May.
We decided not to call up another player to take his roster spot in spring training.
19th May 2007
Half of Spring Training is over, and we are going 6-6. Hopefully
Braun will soon be back, as
Fielder seems to be the only one to bat in runs at the moment.
Yost shows once again that he can't coach.
