Fox Sports Wisconsin’s Sophia Minnaert was smack in the middle of one of those cross field dugout interviews, smack in the middle of the 3rd inning, when smack in the middle of a sentence she was smacked in the middle of her hand. SMACK!

If this doesn’t cheer you up a bit, we’re not sure what will.

Yesterday we told you about that scorpion that bit Doug Melvin and his subsequent Googling and it’s badassness in comparison to strained butts. Well now a picture of that scorpion has surfaced thanks to Doug’s son, Cory (he put in on Facebook) and HOLY SH*T SCARY SCARY SCORPION.

Yesterday we learned that Houston Astros pitcher Erik Bedard had a strained gluteal muscle. The folks over at Big League Stew cut through the crap, however, and called it like they saw it: a strained butt. Not so glamorous now, we don’t think. But then there’s this: Milwaukee Brewers’ GM Doug Melvin had to be hospitalized for a scorpion sting last night, and that’s some serious injury swag right there.

One of the costumes the Milwaukee Brewers use for their sausage races during games at Miller Park went missing recently. As of today, it’s been returned. Despite being one of the weirdest baseball stories likely to pop up this year, it’s the real thing. If only I’d realized that sooner.

Should you be drafting Ryan Braun with a very early selection, considering he seems to be flirting with another potential PED suspension? No way, says Scott “The King” Engel of the RotoExperts Morning Show on Sirius/XM Fantasy Sports Radio – but his co-host, the thoughtful type known as Dr. Roto, disagrees.

Outrage! Shock! Indignity! An adorable little girl had her chance at a souvenir baseball stolen by a grown man in a black polo during Wednesday night’s Brewers-Marlins game. Video of the thievery, after the jump.

Ask Brandon Phillips a dumb question on Twitter during a four-game losing streak, and prepare to feel the wrath of the Reds second baseman. The details, after the jump.

Someone on the MASN production team woke up without a job Sunday morning. That’s because for a few moments during their broadcast of Saturday’s game between the Nationals and Brewers, all the players and the infield dirt were blue. And I mean a deep, Smurf-like, straight-out-of-an-Eiffel 65-song-blue.

Carlos Gomez rounded the bases yesterday after hitting a bomb into the left field stands. The only problem was, the ball was foul. The embarrassing video after the jump.
