MLB seeks to suspend A-Rod, Braun

[Northern Star]

So many scrubs on that list - I hope they got refunds.

[Bellhorn04]

So I am guessing that if A-Road loses his appeal of the suspension, for every game he plays this year he'll miss a game at the start of the 2015 season. LOL

Can't watch NY teams on mlb.tv - is the Chicago crowd booing the s*** out of him?

Yeah, as expected, the crowd booed the s*** out of him as he came up to the plate and again after he singled.

I'll check it out his next at-bat, if I remember LOL.

 

Meanwhile Andy Pettitte, the Man Without Integrity, is taking his lumps.

A-Rod got a hit on his first AB. A-Fraud chants followed.

I'm willing to bet money he'll have that suspension reduced to the totality of the 2014 season and nothing else.

Duly noted sir.

To put the finishing touches on this Theatre of the Bizarre, it's Hawk Harrelson doing the call.

[SoxSport]

Going to be tough for ARod to play. He's the only cheater who has tried to play, and is suffering the consequences.

All the others would be getting the same treatment, though the media is putting him under the microscope. They seem intent on villifying the guy, while ignoring all the others. Braun has slipped away into the darkness.

That's because none of the other players actively tried to sabotage MLB's investigation.

No joke, I've seen a couple of White Sox games on mlb.tv this season and almost clicked on the WS feed before remembering he's their announcer. He's insufferable. Can't wait til ....he gone.

[redsoxrules]

Its BS that Arod gets to play in the appeal progress. The season will be over by the time it's all sorted out and what if Arod catches fires and goes on a ridiculous hitting streak and pushes the Yankee's into the playoffs? That would not be fair at all.

Hawk is classically bad--- in thje Phil Rizzuto mold.

[Emmz]

Hawk is perfect for the White Sox, just like Sterling is perfect for the Yankees, and Paul Allen is perfect for the Vikings.

 

 

 

[Northern Star]

I would love to hear Sterling's call of Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS.

Yeah, it's a weird situation. The Yankees seem to be having their cake and eating it, too. If that's the expression. They certainly don't mind him being in the lineup to the end of the season, but want the rest of his contract voided so they can rebuild by buying more players. Some people think that's what's behind all this vilification of ARod in the media--mostly NY--based in CBS. And Selig's 211 game ban--which I doubt will be upheld unless they show evidence that he is different from the others.

 

This latest stuff out of CBS--that he squealed on other players--would argue for a lessening of the ban. Complicity with MLB's investigation. Though the motivation might be to split him from the players and the PA supporting him. That makes sense. The bottom line is powerful forces--the Commissioner, the NY media, and the Yankees-- all seem to want him out of Baseball.

According to Ryan Braun, the guy who collected his urine is a Cubs fan and an anti-semite.

[Northern Star]

Ryan has finally confessed, claiming this was one-time use to get over an injury quicker. He seems contrite, and although he says he apologizes to the sample collector, he doesn't go into specifics and acknowledge how he wrecked the guy's life. Not buying it.

[Emmz]

Ryan Braun is a piece of s***. He was just lying and shaming everyone in his now infamous exoneration presser, and now that he's been exposed he's trying to throw someone else under the bus.
