Ryan Braun bonds with the Cubs
Ryan Braun made a horrifying discovery during his first all-star clubhouse experience.
"It turns out that all the Cubs are kind of nice guys," the Brewers leftfielder told me this afternoon. "That's unfortunate. I thought it would be easy to dislike them."
Braun has learned you can want to kick somebody's butt on the field but still shoot the breeze with them in the all-star atmosphere. First-timers, such as Braun and Brewers rightfielder Corey Hart, often are surprised at how cordial even the biggest stars in the league can be.
"At first, it's kind of overwhelming," said Hart. "Then, you realize how friendly the guys are. I got to talk to (Cubs outfielder Kosuke) Fukudome and he's a good guy. Kind of quiet, but a good guy.

Haha, nice...both the post and, uh, picture. Also, I had no idea Braun can speak Japanese.
"It’s like they have 40,000 players on one team. Forty thousand people want to be in the dugout slapping fives. ‘Passionate’ is an understatement. Fans like that are special." -- Giants LHP Alex Hinshaw on Wrigley Field

Either that
or his lack thereof explains Kosuke’s quietness.
I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other til we go away.

If Braun could play
second or short—I would love for him to come and play for the good guys, lol.
