In Cleveland, the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Cleveland Indians 14-12 on the strength of a grand slam from Prince Fielder that put the Brewers ahead for good. Starting pitcher David Bush of the Brewers and Carl Pavano of the Indians were not good. Bush gave up eight runs in three and a third innings and Pavano gave up six runs in five innings. The Brewers went into the eighth inning trailing 12-8 when the Brewers rallied. Ryan Braun hit an RBI infield single and then, with the bases loaded, Fielder hit a grand slam to put the Brewers up 13-12. They scored again and eventually won by that score.
Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall has reportedly told the Broncos that he wants to be traded to another team. Marshall met with team owner Pat Bowlen and made him aware of his desire to be traded. Marshall is reportedly unhappy because he wants a new contract. He cites his performance on the field and security as the main reasons why he wants a new contract. Marshall had surgery on his hip in March and will be ready to practice during training camp in July. Marshall, however, was required to rehabilitate at the team's facility but has not done so and may be fined for it. Marshall has had two straight 1,000 yard receiving seasons.
The fact that Brandon Marshall is asking for a trade from the Broncos just speak to how low of a guy he is. There is no doubt that Marshall has been very productive on the football field so far in his career. However, he has also done his fair share of finding trouble off the field, to the point where he is borderline with Pacman Jones. Marshall shouldn't be asking for a new contract. He should prove himself to be a valuable football player by duplicating his numbers from the past two seasons, in addition to staying out of trouble. Marshall even said himself that there can't be any more trouble. He knows the league will come down harshly on him if he gets into any kind of trouble again.
