All he needs is to pick his spots for steals.. and 772 plate appearances (15.44 AB/HR). Easy peasy.

Yankees and Russell Martin are close to a 3-year extension that would eliminate his current 1-year deal for 2012.

Dude in the back looks like he can't handle that amount of A-Rod.

No way. Dude in the back is a gaffer mimicking Arod's binoc pics to troll him.

So that is what Frankman has been doing in his spare time.

Knew he was a secret Yankees fan.

Just watched some classic baseball movies recently to get the hype going. The Natural (of course), Major League, and Bull Durham.

It always gets me about these old movies that the big thing is always to win the pennant. Not the whole thing, just THE PENNANT. And it comes down to a one game playoff to do that even. Makes sense with The Natural, even though it's not winning the whole thing. Not really with Major League when the playoffs were split into dviisions.

Just a funny observation, and I'm pretty sure other baseball movies that escape me follow the same model. Winning the AL/NL pennant = everything. The whole thing? Ah fuck it, we don't give a shit.

2004 ALCS. dat pennant.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Several outlets are reporting that the decision on Ryan Braun will be handed down by the end of the day.

I hope he is banned for the season. He will be then forced to grow a mustache and traded to Japan to play with Tom Selleck.

 

[TheNatural]

2004 ALCS. dat pennant.

Didn't watch, I boycott everything Boston vs. NY in the playoffs.

Also, I guess the movies wouldn't have been as exciting if after Roy Hobbs took out the scoreboard to win the pennant and left with his new son and old girlfriend, they just got swept in the World Series and the movie ended like that.

 

[eznark]

WOOOOOOOOO

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braun won his appeal. First appeal ever won at the MLB level and second ever since testing began in 2004.

Braun will not be suspended and will be with the Brewers on opening day.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Did Braun get Herpes or something?

 

[Windu]

Ha, good for him.

Didn't watch, I boycott everything Boston vs. NY in the playoffs.

you missed some great baseball

Lucky fucker. Brewers still aren't winning the division.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Braun Mexico? I doubt it.

Bummer I can't wear my Aoki jersey to the ballpark anymore.

 

[jehuty]

Good for Braun. Still, his legacy is now tainted and when cubs fans come to Miller park they'll let him know that he has herpes.

 

[darkside31337]

Can't wait till Braun fails another drug test. MLB should be going after him with a 100 game suspension when he does.

 

[Windu]

Ryan Braun has won his appeal of his failed drug test and will not be suspended for the first 50 games of the season, reports Tom Haudricourt of The Journal Sentinel (Twitter links). The union officially announced the win, saying both parties agreed to the announcement despite what is usually a confidential process.

The reigning NL MVP is the first player to have a suspended overtuned through the appeals process. MLB.com's Adam McCalvy says (on Twitter) that Braun won by a 2-1 margin. MLB has issued a statement saying it "vehemently disagrees" with the decision.

Hmm interesting, I didn't see the release on their pressbox site,
Anyone have a link for that?

Its a Purim miracle!

Mazel Tov to Braun

 

[Maxim726X]

Wow... Don't see that often.

On what grounds was the suspension dropped? Did he really have the Herps?

 

[Sanjuro]

Congrats! Next time you come to the area we can both hang out!

 

[yankeeforever2]

Braun can do all the roids he wants.

 

[TheNatural]

Congrats! Next time you come to the area we can both hang out!

Braun probably got the ARod strain. He's fucked half of Hollywood, and then the cleat chasers go around to the next star.

Oooo pink. High Class.

you were the first one calling for his head. you had a change of heart?

 

[Malo]

Really surprised that Braun won his appeal. Good news for Braun, the brewers, and eznark of course.

 

[Sanjuro]

Oooo pink. High Class.

It's called the Pink Palace. Home of the legal sixteen year old prostitute.

 

[TheNatural]

you were the first one calling for his head. you had a change of heart?

Yup. It's called seeing the Brewers lineup.

 

[Parch]

Wow. Early drafts had some fantasy gambling. Those who drafted Braun in round 8 or 9 won big time.

 

[eznark]

you were the first one calling for his head. you had a change of heart?

He was exonerated, I said if he was exonerated if change my mind. My problem was with the supposed cheating, which he didn't do.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[vas_a_morir]

Unless he gets spooked, quits doing roids, and his production drops.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

so it WAS herpes. wonder who gave it to him?

 

[Windu]

Haudricourt says the appeal went Braun's way not because of the test result, but because of a technicality with the testing process. Independent arbitrator Shyam Das ruled in favor of the technicality, giving the reigning NL MVP the win by a 2-1 margin. Braun is the first player to have a suspension successfully overtuned through the appeals process.
