Ryan Braun Not Guilty...No Suspension!!

[Kotter]

I am very excited about this one!!

Ryan Braun wins appeal, won't be suspended

[kingdom warrior]

Good for him, I was hoping for this too......

[spacecaps]

Well thats never happened before. Good to see he won his appeal. Having the NL MVP test positive for juice would be terrible for baseball especially since they're trying to put all that behind them. Here's the thing though, usually once your accused of something, regardless of innocence, it'll still follow you around forever.

I am afraid of that for him.

I'm glad, i've been a fan of his since the U

Let's keep this in perspective. Braun's sample was the highest testosterone level ever discovered in MLB. He got off on a technicality. The courier for the sample couldn't get it to FedEx in time so he kept it over the weekend in a dark, cool place per protocol. This has been done before without incident. The sample, once delivered to the lab, was still in it's sealed container with ZERO evidence of tampering. Urine in a cup doesn't just grow testosterone over a weekend. You think it's cooincidence that he happens to play for the team the commissioner owns?

I have nothing against the guy, in fact I enjoy watching him play. I just believe the rules apply to all. He is a very, very lucky man. There is a slim, slight and small chance there is an alternate explanation for the increased levels, so we cannot with 100 percent certainty say he's guilty. All evidence, however, points that direction.

I don't think the fact that the commissioner owns the team means a darn thing. Maybe that they are under more scrutiny than another, but no freakin way would he tamper with the integrity of the game.

I'll stay away from the controversy, but I'm a Brewers fan and I'm glad that he'll be playing.

Mark Attanasio has owned the Brewers since 2004 or 2005. Bud Selig is the commissioner of baseball and he doesn't have a ownership stake in the team, though he likely still cheers for them.

I am just glad my season tickets won't be a disappointment this year. Yay!

[argent007]

@ Toyman Chris - Season tickets! Very nice. I'm going to catch a game or two when I'm visiting this spring.

[MIB41]

This is good for baseball. Now lets see if he's able to keep himself clean. For the sport, I hope so.

[starsky]

curious to see what kind of season he'll have this year.

[Donkey Hoatie]

Well, he gets to keep the MVP trophy and the herpes. So, it's a win-win, I guess.

What's this I hear about the sample being in a Tupperwear container?
