The above is Ryan Braun "playing" one of several pop fly balls -- or, rather, one of several balls playing Ryan -- on the warning track
The verdict so far: utterly hilarious. There's nothing quite like a photo of a Major League Baseball player, eyes closed, with the ball soaring behind his extended glove. You have to try to look that goofy fielding pop flies.

1. So, you take someone else's story and post your version of it without even reading it first? Regarding the photo, "The photograph was snapped Feb. 21, four days into the experiment that moves Braun from third base to left field.."
That was the first line the second paragraph. Honestly, do you even bother to do any research before mindlessly running your greasy fingers over your keyboard? Nice work.

2. This is exactly MDS and E's favorite kind of work. Rip off someone else's article with little working knowledge of what the hell is actually going on. Then 100 words later I want to drink bleach for coming to this site again!

3. I like how happy he looks while making a fool of himself. Kind of like how TomCollins was probably smiling when he left his prickish comment.

Hey man, thanks for the polite heads up. Sometimes I miss things like that, but I can always count on an enlightened, thoughtful AOL commenter to swing by and straighten me out. Much appreciated.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go re-grease my fingers. This pulverized Monster Burger Shake isn't going to slurp itself!

5. Did he then proceed to kick the ball to the infield?
