Why cry they have the division on lockdown and will be back for playoffs. I wouldn't worry to much about the braves

Lifetime Suspension

My fear was that his timing would be off, his diet will be screwed up, and I'm sure there's some mental obstacles to getting back in the box after something like that (more on the whole situation in a second).
Victor Menocal (his agent) confirmed he is done for the regular season and is now even questionable to return for the playoffs. He is having surgery tomorrow and will be on a soft food diet. They still have enough talent to win it all without him but I definitely think their odds went down dramatically today.

Ryan Braun apologizes for PED use
Quote:
Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun issued a public apology for his PED use Thursday, a month after receiving a 65-game suspension from Major League Baseball for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal.
"I want to apologize for my actions and provide a more specific account of what I did and why I deserved to be suspended. I have no one to blame but myself,'' Braun said in a statement released by the Brewers.
"My family, my teammates, the Brewers organization, my friends, agents, and advisors had no knowledge of these facts, and no one should be blamed but me. Those who put their necks out for me have been embarrassed by my behavior. I don't have the words to express how sorry I am for that.''
Braun said he took an unspecified cream and lozenge in 2011 in his attempts to return from an injury. He called it a "huge mistake'' for which he is "deeply ashamed.''
Braun also apologized personally to Dino Laurenzi Jr., the sample collector who was in charge of the test that Braun successfully appealed in a grievance prior to spring training in 2012.
"At that time, I still didn't want to believe that I had used a banned substance,'' Braun said in his statement. "I think a combination of feeling self righteous and having a lot of unjustified anger led me to react the way I did. I felt wronged and attacked, but looking back now, I was the one who was wrong. I am beyond embarrassed that I said what I thought I needed to say to defend my clouded vision of reality. I am just starting the process of trying to understand why I responded the way I did, which I continue to regret. There is no excuse for any of this."

A "cream and lozenge" is all you took? Right. Apology not accepted.

I just bought a ticket for the Rangers vs. Mariners game next Wednesday. Looking forward to finally watching King Felix!
I hope he gets a little run support.

Braun needs to keep his yap shut. Every time he issues one of his statements, he just ends up digging himself a bigger hole.

Braun feels the need to talk about it. $20 says there will be a book written so he can make some more money and clear his name yada yada.

Huge series happening in Boston right now. If Sox sweep Baltimore is pretty much out of the race. If Baltimore sweeps everything gets nice and cozy at the top. If the split then it helps Rays catch up and keeps Baltimore in contention

How does it feel that you single handily cost Felix the Cy Young? He was doing so well until you decided to go to the game!

Wow the Rays have been tanking hard lost 8 of last 9. I can't believe they still hold a wild card spot. We are in for an entertaining September in the AL

Petit has perfect game through 7 for Giants.
8 perfect innings!

Damn. He got within one strike. Chavez hit a liner that Pence dove for and nearly speared.

Learn something new every day. Apparently "Yusmeiro" is the Spanish word for "Dave Stieb".
