At this point, IMO when a player is busted after numerous failed tests, they should have their monetary value dropped to the league minimum salary for the remainder of the contract. These players are never going to learn until it hits them where it hurts: their wallet.

Kudos to the MLBPA for not standing in the way here.

Braun just lost $4 million. His wallet has been hit.

 

[bonesmccoy]

I realize now that I have made some mistakes?

what the fuck? hahhahahahha

His statement is a perfect example of hubristic fuckwittery.

This is really one of those times when his publicist should have forced him to simply say "I accept the league's punishment, and I apologize to my fans."

 

[avengers23]

Let's take a moment and admire Braun's last Tweet, according to his official Twitter page:

"@RyanBraun_8 December 11, 2011
@DougButabiJTV Cant wait until my innocence is proved and you can see that is the truth."

Cubs get Justin Grimm also:

That's a great deal... Olt and Grimm should be able to help some next year.

 

[Sanjuro]

Disgusting. Shame on Mlb.

Where is Mariano's suspension?

 

[BFIB]

Braun just lost $4 million. His wallet has been hit.

How much is his contract worth? Won't he make that $4 million back within a few months next year?

This Aaron Rodgers protecting his boy from February 2012.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Was listening to the latest BS Report with Jonah Keri and Simmons brought up Chris Davis and the possibility of PEDs and Keri was like "I don't think so Davis has always had power...he's just naturally big...he's always been strong!" and I was just thinking to myself that you could say the exact same things about Mark McGwire. People still have their head in the sand about this stuff.

 

[sangreal]

they both got suspended and paid their dues already. Braun tried to get out of it and A-rod got busted again. Somewhat different cases

A-Rod was never busted, he came clean when the MLB leaked his name to the press after the "anonymous and confidential" voluntary tests

 

[ConradCervantes]

Fucking shit sucks.

I always knew he did it, but in the back of my mind hoped that somehow things got messed up.

Oh well. We got Segura and Gomez to cheer on.

 

[alr1ght]

Man, Barry Larkin doesn't want to believe.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Man, Barry Larkin doesn't want to believe.

he probably roided.

 

[NomarTyme]

lol Braun.

 

[Sanjuro]

Man, Barry Larkin doesn't want to believe.

Guy was probably the biggest roider of all.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

More guys should learn from Big Papi on how to get out of a positive PED test. Just smile a lot and pretend you don't know english.

 

[Dominican Power]

I don't think he has taken enough Yankee money.

You as a Phillies shouldn't be talking knowing that Ryan Howard wasn't even half of a player A Rod was in his prime.

 

[Talon]

AKA The Sammy Sosa

 

[alr1ght]

Schilling needs to come back to gaf and tell us what he thinks of Barry.

 

[BFIB]

Pretty sure A-Rod is on the phone right now to MLB stating he'll take the same punishment Braun just received.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

LOLZ. I'm not surprised and don't even give a shit if he was using PEDs but damn the language he used defending himself makes this so sweet.

More guys should learn from Big Papi on how to get out of a positive PED test. Just smile a lot and pretend you don't know english.

ha

He is probably the cleanest member of professional baseball today. You have no clue what you're talking about!

 

[Future PhaZe]

It would be a huge slap in the face to fire Davey in his last season but I still think it should be done. It's about damn time for this Eckstein firing, though. The guy should've been gone years ago.

Davey said if they fire Eckstein then they should fire him about a month ago.

I mean I wouldn't even fire Davey. For what? Our hitters are trash. Id like to move some big names by the deadline.

The end of times is soon. REPENT SINNERS.

Screw off heathen, how dare you. Make puns or shut up!!!

Seriously, wanna fight?

 

[JABEE]

If only he took half as many drugs as A Rod.
Howard's decline may not have been so sharp when injuries started piling up.

 

[jakncoke]

lol fuck suspensions, just let any do everything. if you a little nerd bitch about stats just seperate eras, we've already had several different eras in basball history anyways, whats one more

 

[Talon]

The fact that he kept using sort of says a lot about how seriously the players take testing.

[BFIB]

The fact that he kept using sort of says a lot about how seriously the players take testing.

The first suspension that he should have served was due to a failed test. This was due to him being linked in BioGenesis. its possible they could have overlapped with each other.

Or he just continued to use, which is probably more accurate.

The end of times is soon. REPENT SINNERS.

A storm is coming.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Eznark, post if you're okay.

 

[Riggs]

Omg, you're going to hell when you die. I am pretty sure!!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

All this is going to teach players is to not use their real name when they buy PEDs from a clinic.

 

[Windu]

Ban the entire Washington Nationals. They cheated their way toward a franchise.

 

[Talon]

All this is going to teach players is to not use their real name when they buy PEDs from a clinic.

 

[Riggs]

I am feeding PED's to my RTTS guy, screw you bud.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He should have gone with "Bryan Raun"

 

[darkside31337]

All this is going to teach players is to not use their real name when they buy PEDs from a clinic.

Or just use a different players name.

 

[eznark]

Any status on Ez? You ok?


Also Garza to Rangers? wow!!!!

Scroll up champ!

 

[Talon]

He should have gone with "Bryan Raun"

I prefer "Dave Canada."

Or just use a different players name.

 

[Dominican Power]

If only he took half as many drugs as A Rod.
Howard's decline may not have been so sharp when injuries started piling up.

Or maybe Howard was a fat ass who was never in peak physical condition like A Rod?

 

[Zep]

Or just use a different players name.

"Hi, this is Nick Punto...I was told you have the good shit"

 

[Talon]

Or maybe Howard was a fat ass who was never in peak physical condition like A Rod?

Bitchtits don't make themselves.

 

[exarkun]

A-Rod better keep taking the Yankees money. Unfair to get rid of that contract because of something both parties were aware of when it was made.

Braun is lol.

 

[Riggs]

"Hi, this is Nick Punto...I was told you have the good shit"

lol gdamn, poor nick

 

[NomarTyme]

All this is going to teach players is to not use their real name when they buy PEDs from a clinic.

or pay your dealer.

 

[eznark]

For the good of baseball every player should juice using the name Yuniesky Betancourt

 

[NomarTyme]

Barry Larkin needs to stfu.

 

[devilhawk]

When are Peralta and Cruz going to get slapped?
