I have to imagine this is the first of several to come.

Billy Beane is a smart GM, after getting fleeced for Carlos Gonzales, I think he is done with expensive rentals. He knows too well, no one is staying in Oakland.

Some Twitter baseball accounts were noting that it was the Cubs drumming up Oakland interest. Glad to help get the Rangers fleeced. Adding Anderson in September will be enough to hold them off.
 
Ryan Braun :rofl: what a scumbag. Just coke clean from the jump bro, smh NOBODY is still mad or calling out Andy Pettitte just be honest it's the best way to go when you get caught. My man got over on a technicality, #gotthemvpdoe smh
 
Braun: “As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions. This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it is has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers organization. I am very grateful for the support I have received from players, ownership and the fans in Milwaukee and around the country. Finally, I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed – all of the baseball fans especially those in Milwaukee, the great Brewers organization, and my teammates. I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love.”
Chump.

Not a bad deal for either side on the Garza deal. Grimm is a decent enough 4 or 5... Olt is a nice reclamation project, maybe a change of scenery will serve him well. And Edwards apparently has lots of upside, but young low-level pitchers are always lottery tickets.

A solid back-end starter and two lottery tickets with great upside... Not bad.

If the Rangers want this to be worth it, they have to bring in at least one more (maybe even two) legitimate bat and pray Nelson Cruz doesn't get hammered in this mess now that Braun got whacked.
 
Braun, even with assistance, should've never received that award in the first place. Matt did it with probably one of the worst Dodger teams I've ever seen assembled, no protection. Oh, but the Brewers made the playoffs, :rolleyes

Without Kershaw and Kemp that year, the Dodgers would of been a 90-100 loss team. Easy. Abysmal season.
 
Ban him for life. I only say this because of how big of a douche he comes off for lying about this ****.
 
The Braun suspension has nothing to with the 50-100-lifetime offenses.

I'm really interested to see the details that come out about this because it is something new and unprecedented.
 
Ryan Braun had his best power season in his rookie year and has declined ever since, so unless you believe he has been using roids since he came out of the minor leagues what did steroids really do for him?

More proof that baseballs witch hunt against **** that barley even works is a complete waste of time.

Ryan Braun was born to smash baseballs. he will continue to do so with or without roids.

I don't care for baseball's witch hunts myself (not sure that's what this is though), nor am I really concerned about PED's, but it's the fact he lied and was so adamant. He gets a pass the first time and then gets caught again and gives some lame statement like he's really sorry or something.
 
What an *** clown :lol: :lol:. The fact that he dragged another man's name through the mud is classless and shameless.


Like I said.....F that *** clown.
 
One day OKB is going to find out that when we say PED's help players, we aren't just talking about power, :lol:

It feels good to have extra energy doesn't it? There's a whole industry that legally pounces on that feeling, if only there were things to aid in recovery and give you a boost of energy. Hmmmm.

Yup, they don't help at all, :lol:

Without saying I agree or disagree with you in this argument with OKB.....I just have to ask a question in regards to the bold.  Don't cortisone shots do exactly what you describe in the bold?
