Appeal? NOPE! Took it like a bkitch! http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...-suspended-remainder-season-article-1.1406090
Pathetic, disgraceful, embarrassing, petty, etc. Anyone who is happy about this is being so, so incredibly shortsighted.
He got the delivery guy who delivered his drug sample fired when he KNEW the test was correct. What a detestable human being.
Glad Bud Selig thinks this should be priority #1 and the way to attack this, and that this is what he wants in the headlines for his sport! Man, imagine if this was a Dodger? This is lame. I wish the priorities were much different on shit like this. This is all baseball is going to be known for for the past 20 years.
Also true. Clearly one of the biggest scumbags in the long history of the game. Doesn't make this right though.
I mean, it's funny to me that some of the worst guys in the game are linked to this but man, idk, it just sucks. I can't wait til no one cares about this shit.
honest question for those who hate ALL things labeled PEDs, and don't want instead for doctors to study/regulate this shit: Why are you okay with LASIK surgery, PRPs, prescribed Adderall, and simple weight gaining powders
But as long as the checks cleared... right, Bud? It will be hard for him to sleep at night but shit, who wants to sleep when your bed is so comfy.
Sorry V and D. But I think you need to punish they guys who aren't clean. I don't want guys to be suspended but the only way to build a cleaner sport is to punish them. We learn that in pre-school. I don't get the big deal. All players have to do is follow the rules and we avoid all of this. I don't think people are happy he got suspended at face value They're happy that a guy who thought he had everyone fooled, beat the system, and lied about it is finally getting justice.
but i mean, idk, i dont wanna get to deep into it cause I don't think many opinions will change about this. But I just wish this stuff was behind us and there was a much better way and better vision towards what really is a "cheater". And I wish main headlines in MLB weren't always about steroids.
He got suspended for being on a list, and for a random amount of games the MLB decided upon on the fly. That sets an inexcusable precedent.
Technically, a lot of the 90s players followed rules but they still got shit on afterwards, so it's not even that simple. And the being "clean" is what gets me.. What is clean? What is allowed and not allowed and why?
And, hopefully we'll never know, but I'd be curious to know how you'd react to this if it were Hanley Ramirez or Clayton Kershaw. No, not for a positive test, but for primarily being on a list.
I don't think you're any more privy to the inter workings of the litigation and process than anyone else. I understand where you're coming from. But for now, let's take this at face value. Cheated. Admitted. Suspended.
Braun admitted to using, I don't get the huge deal. If CK admitted to using then suspend him, simple as that. imo
Now this I agree with. I don't get on Mark G, Jose C, Sosa, to an extent Bonds, and all the boys. Because PEDs weren't banned in baseball. The only debate over those guys comes from comparing eras and trying to quantify what was inflated. But morally, I could care less. It wasn't "cheating" then. It is cheating in present day. So Braun did PEDs, got caught, admitted, and he's suspended. Good deal.
