OUCH!!!

I really liked Bruan as a baseball fan! Sad day!!!

[OaklandAsFan]

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.

Wow!! And right after winning the MVP too.

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

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."

Elevated testosterone - testosterone tested as synthetic.

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

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