    This is really what it comes down to. All Brewers fans should kill themselves. So, keep living their lives exactly how they were before? But faster.

    Seeing as the test was conducted after the game, it looks like Braun must've claimed he couldn't go.

    Ahhh so that's why synthetic testosterone showed up. Tupperware is renowned for that type of stuff.

    Harris is going to kill it for Indiana next year.

    So does Mackey Arena and Williams Arena count as our home court too? :P MSU comitted four fouls during halftime and Travis Carroll already has two for Sunday night. He looked at Zeller funny on the TV. How can you not look at Zeller funny. I mean, look at him.

    Just for proud Mizzou alums, Mizzou and Paige Laurie: Top 25: 4-3 Top 50: 8-3 Top 100: 14-4 No losses > 100

    Ran out of time and only got through the top 11 of Pomeroy ratings. ETA: Or maybe I just totally skipped them because I was too dumbfounded by Wichita being ranked 8 so I jumped right over #9.

    i really have to think that mlb was completely blindsided by this "taking the sample home and putting it in your fridge is unacceptable" argument. or the arbiter was a complete moron (very possible!), but you would think that presenting information on how this is standard operating procedure in this and other industries that do this sort of testing would be enough to stifle the argument. hopefully mlb just had no idea this was going to be something they had to discuss and was unprepared to talk about it. if that's not the case and the arbiter threw out the suspension in spite of the fact that mlb cogently argued that everyone involved did exactly what they were supposed to, that's a lot more frightening. Yeah either they were blindsided or this will be the seminal decision that will mean all future testing will be done early enough to get the samples to FedEx. It's really sort of scary that the guy followed protocol and they threw out the results. He followed protocol of CDT. Either the CBA didn't have a clear protocol, or CDT wasn't in line with said protocol. Or the arbiter was an idiot. ETA: None of this changes the fact that Braun was on something, unless you're Will Carroll and believe in spontaneous generation and Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame.

    My guess is there's no specific wording in the CBA saying what constitutes a timely manner or a chain of custody intact, or whatever it is that he won on so one arbiter could view it as an acceptable process and another won't.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    So anyway, if CDT has instructed their collectors to keep the samples in their homes rather than taking them directly to FedEx and the arbiter rules that the CBA says otherwise, doesn't pretty much every person who tested positive after their respective FedEx was closed have a case?

    It's not just Brewers fans either. The anti-steroid testing/Libertarian zealots were out in full embarrassing force on BTF the past few days.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    I'd say MSU by 6. I hope they win by 70.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    Any chance you could white out Coleman's name?
  17. SouthSideRyan
    I hope you lose by 70.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    Maybe for a charity wheelchair game.

    Not as bad as he thought it would be is not the same as liking it. He's also basing the entire thing on the assumption that catching metrics are way off and Yadi is a 4 WAR player. Everyone knows that Yadier Molina was a 0.3 defensive WAR player the last few years. What this article presupposes...is maybe he wasn't?

    Waiting on a conference call, so I'll do some manual calculations, apologies if I've miscounted at all. (Subject to change as ratings do) UK Top 25: 6-1 Top 50: 7-1 Top 100: 12-1 No losses outside top 100 Ohio St. Top 25: 5-5 Top 50: 6-5 Top 100: 10-6 No losses outside top 100 MSU Top 25: 5-3 Top 50: 9-3 Top 100: 13-5 No losses outside top 100 Kansas Top 25: 7-3 Top 50: 10-4 Top 100: 16-5 None outside top 100 Wisconsin Top 25: 2-6 Top 50: 5-6 Top 100: 8-8 None outside top 100 Syracuse Top 25: 3-0 Top 50: 9-1 Top 100: 17-1 No losses outside top 100 UNC Top 25: 4-2 Top 50: 8-4 Top 100: 12-4 None > top 100 Wichita St. Top 25: 0-1 Top 50: 2-3 Top 100: 9-3 1 loss outside top 100 (#147) Georgetown Top 25: 4-2 Top 50: 7-5 Top 100: 10-6 None > top 100 Duke Top 25: 6-1 Top 50: 7-4 Top 100: 15-4 None > top 100

    Think Oral Roberts really has that much of a better resume than Belmont? I've gotta think that they are pretty much in the same boat. EDIT: Or Davidson EDIT AGAIN: To be clear, I don't think any of the three of them are going to get close to an at-large bid, if they need one. Not really. I try to be as inclusive as possible the first time through, it would take a lot of squinting for me to put one of those teams, MTSU, or Iona in. ETA: I guess you can throw Long Beach on there too. 0-5 vs top 50, 2-6 vs top 100. ETA: FYI, I'm using KenPom unless otherwise stated.

    The writing is so clearly on the wall on this one --the bandwagon of Cub "fans" that will be cheering against LaHair is going to be pretty staggering. Folks like you would rather see the guy fail, so you can gloat about being right. See also: Colvin, Tyler. 2010 was a rough year for this crowd, but 2011 was sure sweet. Now call him a rapist.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    hahaha, no no, I'm sure last year's output was the real Molina, not the 7 years previous.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    And he dances.
