I distinctly remember saying the day the BioGen report came out that this was coming and being told that it would never happen.

 

And BTW, the only reason he didn't get 100 is because is stepped up to be the first suspended and made a deal. Just wait til you see ARod.

How about a Jew who hasn't had the entitlements, the fame, the absurd amount of money, the amount of butt that someone who excels at sports receives but actually works to make the world a better place, like Shai Agassi or Elena Kagan? Somewhere, someway, society has equated excellent athleticism to excellent character. It's not true. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

Here's an idea to change that: stop spending money on sports events and stop watching the games. I was trying to make a little joke out of this, which Seth can relate to (I'm not sure if there's any other Jews on here), I wasn't really expecting this kind of response.

I'll go on record saying ARod gets an indefinite suspension and he never plays again due mainly to his interference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

I still think anything over 50 is unwarranted.

Oh I'm always for making light of something. I thought you were being serious. Sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2

Rooting hard against this. Not because I like ARod, not because I think it's unfair (I do), but because it would help the Yanks if they can get out of paying him.

Ya know, that was my first thought too..We tribesman need a hero, dammit!!! He should have called Walter White, he'd have never gotten caught!

Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg, Shawn Green, Brad Ausmus, Scott Feldman, Danny Valencia, Rod Carew?

Jonah Hill for his part in Moneyball?

Yep, Valencia is a Jewban (Cuban Jew).

 

Valencia was born in Miami, Florida, to Michael and Mindy Valencia.[1] He grew up in Boca Raton, Florida. He is Jewish, and says "People are shocked at first that I’m Jewish. I get teased in the clubhouse about being Jewish, but we all get teased about something. Going to Hebrew school and being a bar mitzvah … made my mom really happy. I wished I had been out playing baseball, but looking back at it now, I’m happy I did it.”[2] His mother is also Jewish.[3][4] His father is Cuban.[5] Valencia has a sister, Laura.[6][7][8][9][10]

Nope and if I weren't Jewish, I probably wouldn't even have said anything. I'm usually PC about this stuff.

I feel bad for Braun.  All this mess just because someone spiked his pee cup.

So can Matt Kemp get a trophy now or what?

No.  Ryan Braun DID win those 7 Tour de France titles.  You can erase record books, but you can't erase memories.

Considering the biggest thing MLB is doing today is saying that we shouldn't care about whether or not someone failed a test, I'm not convinced he wasn't on something that year, either.

@PeytonsHead Unlike Lance Armstrong, Ryan Braun plays for the Brewers, so he doesn't have to vacate any championships. #BrightSide

After Vince Young gets his Heisman.

[DJ MC]

Ryan Braun does not owe you, or most anyone else, an apology

 

What happens if Ryan Braun tests positive next year? Or in 2017?

 

EDIT: http://bizofbaseball...rials&Itemid=39

 

It's considered his first offense.

@darrenrovell  Logan Morrison on Braun suspension: "You know we're clean. We haven't scored a run in 37 innings." (Via @JCRMarlinsBeat)

 

Atleast Logan Morrison has a sense of humor.
