GOOD!! Best news all day!!!

Good God! Reading through this GT was excruciating. Done most during an hour plus phone conversation with a Spanish speaker customer and interpreter (like that wasn't excruciating enough...ha ha). The whining, bitching and moaning gets to an all time high during a NYY game. I logged off when Dempster had his s***** 1st. Watched the rest. But he only gave up 3 runs. A lot of our players are hard to watch at times. But the constant s***ing on Drew, Dempster, Salty and Napoli gets old. Especially considering Drew just came off the DL and Napoli basically won the game. Next time, I'll skip the read through of a missed GT. What a bunch of knee jerking, negative tool bags. Love you guys but s***! Holy hell!

Ryan Braun suspended rest of year Updated: July 22, 2013, 5:48 PM ET ESPN.com news services Major League Baseball has suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun without pay for the remainder of the 2013 season. Braun will not contest the suspension which was meted out for "violations of the Basic Agreement and its Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," according to a statement released by MLB. "As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect," Braun said in the statement. "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." The suspension totals the final 65 games of the Brewers' season and any potential postseason games this year.
