I’m still in favor of being sellers. We could get some good pieces for guys like Jose Martinez and Ozuna. Carpenter would bring some value and so would Cmart and Wacha. This team is just bleh. Definition of mediocrity.

At this point I'm actively rooting for the Brewers. Even though Braun is perhaps the most despicable scumbag in the league, and the sight of Craig Counsell peering out of the dugout with his dour face and beady little rat eyes makes me want to punch my TV, I'd still rather see them win the division than the ****ing Cubs.

Not something you can just write off as I was scared to come clean about my drug use. Sorry, my bad. Did he ever give the guy some money for falsely slandering the poor dude? |

you publicly slander someone to hide your own crimes seems to me a crime by itself. And definitely something you can sue someone in court for doing to you.

SI Reports: Ryan Braun tried to discredit urine collector as anti-Semitic Cubs fan.
—————————————— After he accepted his suspension on July 22 — 50 games for the drug infraction and 15 games for his conduct at the time of the grievance — Braun was heavily criticized by players around the major leagues. “I thought this whole thing has been despicable on his part,” Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer said. “When he did get caught, he never came clean. He tried to question the ability of the collector when he was caught red-handed. So that’s why the whole Braun situation, there is so much player outrage toward him.” ——————————- Asked if he apologized to Laurenzi or offered him compensation, Braun said Wednesday, "I have not made any payments to him. I've had some really productive and positive conversations with him. The Laurenzi family was actually gracious and kind enough to have my fiancée, Larisa, and I over to their house for dinner last night, and we had some really good conversation. "We've made amends and I think we're both excited to be able to move forward and put this behind us." Braun had earlier railed against baseball's joint drug agreement, calling it "fatally flawed" and suggesting players are "100 percent guilty until proven innocent." "We won because the truth is on my side," he said at the time. "I wish that I hadn't done the press conference," Braun said Wednesday. "It was a big mistake. I deeply regret having done it, and a lot of the things that I said that day." |
