For those of you who are wondering what exactly a kirbir is, it could be defined as such: ... Blogger and aspiring public figure (musician, politician, fashion icon, etc) who is obsessed with the Milwaukee Brewers' left fielder Ryan Braun. She has a lesser crush on famous former Brew Crew Ball leader Jeff Sackmann. However, she has not decided on her feelings for current BCB leader KLSnow and other BCB author TheJay. Not being a sporty girl, she knew nearly nothing of baseball until weeks before
Another day, another Mug ... So in yesterday's Mug I linked to Brian Anderson, who told us that Sheets was "headed in a different direction." Today, he's changed the wording of his note on Sheets to this: Free agent Ben Sheets appears to be headed in a different direction but the door is never closed until he is signed.
