Re: Another juicer........

so the Brewers already lost Fielder and now they not only have to lose Braun for almost 1/3 of next season but also deal with the questions about the entire season and Braun's MVP award. Hate to be a Brewcrew fan right about now although in reality it sucks to be a baseball fan in general right now.

How do you allow a guy who tested positive for PED's to collect the MVP award?? He was notified in October so MLB knew about it earlier than that. Another black mark for baseball, which claims it was going out of the way to clean up the game.

Re: Another juicer........

My only Braun item is a signed baseball. It is now for sale.
This is getting to be really sad.

Re: Another juicer........

Did anyone read the article? Nothing has been announced as Braun's agent is appealing the decision due to special circumstances? Doesn't get get the benefit of the doubt until this in official announced or axed?

"Major League Baseball has not announced the positive test because Braun is disputing the result through arbitration.

A spokesman for Braun issued a statement Saturday: "There are highly unusual circumstances surrounding this case which will support Ryan's complete innocence and demonstrate there was absolutely no intentional violation of the program. While Ryan has impeccable character and no previous history, unfortunately, because of the process we have to maintain confidentiality and are not able to discuss it any further, but we are confident he will ultimately be exonerated."

Re: Another juicer........

Sounds like the statement put out by Palmeiro's lawyer.
Still waiting on that on.

Re: Another juicer........

What's really sad is Kemp was cheated out of a MVP award if this is true.

[OaklandAsFan]

Re: Another juicer........

appeal or not MLB should have not let him collect the award while there was speculation or doubt!

How can MLB say they are cleaning up the game when they allow a guy who tested positive to collect an award thus allowing him the ability to collect whatever bonus that was in his contract for winning an MVP and any other benefits he stands to get for winning the award, not much of a deterrent there!

Re: Another juicer........

What the heck are you thinking Braun. I thought you were one of the good guys in baseball. I will see him a little different from now on. To bad he had to do this to himself, the team and us fans. What an a dumb ass....

Perhaps a revisit to this thread is appropriate...

Im sick to my stomach.

Braun is a super hero in Milwaukee. Basically a guy who could do no wrong.

If this holds up, he should give the NL MVP to Kemp.

He just effed up big time.

Re: Another juicer........

I'm hoping this report is wrong/the test was erroneous but that's pretty doubtful.

I'll probably have a few pieces of Braun memorabilia for sale soon...can't look at him the same way if this is true.

Very, very disappointing.
