Anybody else sick of MLB?

Seriously? He tested positive for PEDs and we're not supposed to pass judgement just because he's one of the game's most well like players? Come on! BTW, no player has EVER successfully appealed a positive test.

Yep, it's a drug test - either it's there or it's not. I was a pilot in the Air Force for 20 years and had to pee in a lot of bottles. I can't imagine how an "appeal" would go in the General's office. Then again, our union wasn't so good...we always had to work nights, in pretty dire places!

Take Care,

I still love going to games. No other live professional entertainment experience beats it.

But regarding Braun and those who are making excuses for him - this is a serious thing that all the players are aware of, and have been for years, yet many of them continue to try to wiggle by it. The ones who have any brains are doing anything they can to avoid testing positive, and I don't think avoiding testing positive is hard to do if you simply avoid the items that will cause it. If you have any doubts, just don't do it. Sure, he's got his reasons - haven't they all? I hope they are legit.

Ha, you hit the nail on the head. I only posted that because outside of my New York team players, he is my favorite player. I was grasping at straws trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

This morning i read that his testosterone level was about twice what any other test has ever shown though, so either he took some crazy stuff or maybe possibly hopefully something is wacko.

The MLB channel yesterday was saying that inside sources are saying that it was not PED's but something else that's on the banned substance list. Take that with a grain of salt.
