They will get you in the end. They just will.

Prince Fielder had two home runs and Ryan Braun had one homer in the Brewers 12-9 win against the Padres last night.

They didn't want to talk about it though.

The AP story on the game by Colin Fly contains this gem of a paragraph:

"If Fielder or Braun were happy with their performances, they chose not to talk about them. The players stayed behind in the dining area and didn't leave before the clubhouse closed an hour later despite being asked to be available by the public relations department."

Ouch!

Hey, Prince and Ryan, I thought you knew this or maybe you do but just don't care.

Anyway, look here's the deal. All you have to do is talk to these guys and say some of the following lines:

* It felt great hitting those home runs.
* I'm seeing the ball really well right now.
* The other team "battled" and gave it their all but they just came up short.
* This team seems ready to gel.
* Were taking them one game at a time.

It's not so bad. They will take that. That will make them happy. Then they will go away and you can get to the dining area before the kitchen closes.

You know, they probably won't hurt you if you just keep it to those cliches. You really can't get misquoted if you just stick to the script.

If however you don't talk to them, well all bets are off and we can't help you.

Just some friendly advice.
