    Except it has come out that it is not roid related at all. Keep up.

    Of course you'd be making that observation. 8-) :)

    The Saints are not the same team on the road.

    And yes I am grasping for straws.

    I also don't buy that no one has ever won their appeal before. This story was leaked by ESPN and it was the NL MVP. If he would of won the appeal and ESPN didn't leak it no one would have known. Obviously MLB doesn't want people to know that their testing system has some flaws to it, because then everyone would assume everyone is juicing again because if there are flaws it can be beat. Again it's a real real long shot but just throwing it out there.

    This is where I think the complete opposite. Wouldn't it be better for baseball for them to have Braun win the appeal? This is a huge, huge stain on the game right now when the MVP and one of the top hitters in baseball is labeled a cheater. If guys are still doing this even today, the casual fan is going to just assume that baseball will forever be full of a bunch of cheaters. So, what I'm saying is, I believe a big coverup is about to happen. Braun actually did cheat, but he's going to get away with it! Why would MLB after all the hard work they have done to get rid of the steroid era would admit that their test failed? Nope. The test didn't fail. It will be that Braun somehow is able to prove that he took something by mistake. Win-win for both the player and a league that doesn't want this blemish. If he took something by mistake he will still be suspended I believe. So that theory doesn't work.

    I will say this though, if it does come back to be true. Besides getting Pujols, the Cubs have had a dream off-season so far.
  12. ELCABALLO45
    I agree completely. The odds are against him for sure.

    Obviously I am holding out the smallest hope ever. Maybe you should read the next 3 paragraphs after those 2... That's why basically nobody have ever successfully won their appeal in MLB. It's going to be really freakin' hard to have proof if something was tampered with or "reasonably" assumed something was contaminated. The only one I know that won their appeal was that Mexican team I believe? They won because they ate tainted beef or something crazy like that. And there is still a possibility that he could win the appeal. Just because it hasn't happened before doesn't mean something crazy didn't happen. Obviously its a long shot but it's still a possibility.

    That he was told was for a movie and that there were dummy's on the school bus, not actual children.
  15. ELCABALLO45
    Obviously I am holding out the smallest hope ever. Again, the sad part of this is that even if he wins his appeal, his rep is shot. He won't be banned, but he'll wear it for life. Yeah, which if for the small percent chance he is telling the truth will be really sad for Braun and the Brewers organization.
  16. ELCABALLO45
    For the life of me, I can't figure out what it is you're trying to correct. "tests positive" is no different than "fails". And a positive test results in an automatic suspension. He can appeal, but unless/until he does, he is suspended (or will be). Obviously you need to be educated in how this stuff works. He has not failed the test yet nor has he been suspended 50 games. The thread says both are true. If he failed the test he would be suspended. Since he only has tested positive he has the right to appeal the results (which he is) therefore he has not been suspended yet which the thread suggests.
  17. ELCABALLO45
    That's fine. Just holding out hope.
  18. ELCABALLO45
    From the article... Obviously I am holding out the smallest hope ever.
  19. ELCABALLO45
    For the record the title should say, Ryan Braun tests positive for PED. Faces 50 games suspension.
  20. ELCABALLO45
    The thread title is wrong by the way.
  21. ELCABALLO45
    This doesn't give them the flexibility to make a move they couldn't before the news. I think he is talking about the Cubs should sign Prince?

    Well take away Bonds, Sosa's, Giambi's, Pudge's and everyone else's. THERE'S NO PROOF SAMMY WAS USING ROIDS IN '98 MAN Hahahahahaha That actually made me laugh at this dark dark time. Thank you kind sir.

    Tongue in cheek. This truly does suck. No other way around it. And if for the 5 percent chance he is telling the truth, it won't matter. In everyone's mind he is a juicer now.

    This is simply awesome. About time the other owners grew a set.
