Congrats to Ryan and hopefully many more of these to come.

Hopefully this gets him recognition in his run for rookie of the year.

Funny thing of course is that Braun's June was better than his July

Yep, outside his counting stats (home runs and RBI), his rate stats were all better in June. Which speaks to just how good he has been since his recall.

Who else? The guy's been a total stud. Hebrew Hammer indeed! Can he keep it up? Not .350, but I'd be surprised if he hits below .310.

I could see Prince being the league MVP and Braun being the team MVP. Anyone else? Congrats to Braun, will this ever end?

Just think how bad July coulda been without Braun....... *shudder*

For setting the highest definition of excellence, Sharp, the presenting sponsor of the National League Player of the Month Award, presents Ryan Braun with an LC-52D92U 52" Sharp AQUOS® LCD-TV. Sharp AQUOS is the "Official High-Definition Television of Major League Baseball."

And in related news, the poster of the month will receive a can of Grandpa Graf's cream soda, the official cream soda of Brewerfan.net.

Well done sir!

YHWH bless the young man. =)

[BrewCrewForever]

I have a feeling this is going to be a trend in Braun's career. Lots of awards.

In your face, A&W!

 

I think Ryan should have us over to the condo for some sweet TV viewing. I still hope he's busy in October, though.
