Cervelli previously tested for doucheness. Was not suspended.

The result was so far off the scale they assumed the sample was tainted.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The mail's here! THE MAIL'S HERE! .600 OPS, here I come!

Lying sack of shite Ryan Braun.

Is this even baseball anymore or cycling..

Kids will look at his numbers and re-think whether or not they want to take PEDs.

I'm waiting to hear about the use of Adderall as PED described as an "epidemic." Young folk can relate to that drug. Many already take it.

[Edgy MD]

Way to let the black face of the franchise walk and sign the white guy forever, Milwaukee.

I mean, it's cool when we do it.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Edgy, are you really saying that race was the reason the Brewers let Fielder walk, and not that he was seeking a 10-year, $200 million deal and is rather overweight?

[Edgy MD]

I certainly think white guys have an advantage over men of color in getting a little extra face-of-the-franchise dough.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

To be fair, it's a rare fellow that has any advantage over Fielder in a contest for carbohydrates.

Ken Griffey and Barry Bonds -- and to a lesser extent, Albert Pujols and ARod -- might disagree.

[metirish]

Screw Braun and his buddies in the media, he's a fraud.


Not sure about the race thing, can of worms right there....Brewers couldn't pay two I suppose......

[Edgy MD]

Griffey, Bonds, Pujols, and Rodridguez all left for other shores to get their big paydays, three on the open market and one through an engineered trade to a city where he took less than he was worth on the open market.

Sorry to open up a can, but I think it's a real issue. The greater point is that Braun is a fraud. A fraud with lousy tee shirts.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Oh, come on. Are we so sure he was taking whatever the clinic was giving him to boost some baseball stats? For all we know, he may have been dealing with some terrible, financially-crippling Affliction.

[Lefty Specialist]

I don't think Fielder's going to be a lot of fun in year 9 of that 9-year deal. By then he may be generating his own gravity vortex.

If I'm looking at it completely color-blind and not knowing about PED's, and could only sign one of the two, I'd pick Braun every time.

[Edgy MD]

That's fine, but it turns out that Braun is the one who has now appeared to humiliate his team in years one and two of his contract. He somehow played off his reputation and squirreled out of the consequences the first time. Does he have a second Get out of the Lab Free card in his ugly pocket?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

His name's on a list, with a monetary amount next to it; apparently, there isn't the detail there that there was with, say, Rodriguez.

If there isn't black-and-white evidence of what he took, or another positive test, there may not be actual consequences attached to this, whatever it is.

[Edgy MD]

Oh, sure, that list is so ridiculously incriminating-but-not-substantial that it's almost comic. Like finding a murder victim with a note in his hand that says "Sonny killed me." Obviously, we have to wait on all the facts.

Damn facts.

we just need to know if they've got any pimples on their back.

[Vic Sage]

Here are the facts as they are alleged by Braun:

>... Ryan Braun said the person who ran the Florida clinic being investigated by Major League Baseball was used only as a consultant on his drug suspension appeal last year.
>... "During the course of preparing for my successful appeal last year, my attorneys, who were previously familiar with Tony Bosch, used him as a consultant. More specifically, he answered questions about T/E ratio and possibilities of tampering with samples,'' Braun said. [The T/E ratio is a comparison of the levels of testosterone to epitestosterone.]
>... his name was in the Biogenesis records because of an issue over payment to Anthony Bosch, who ran the clinic near Miami. ''There was a dispute over compensation for Bosch's work, which is why my lawyer and I are listed under 'moneys owed' and not on any other list,'' Braun said.
>... no specific performance-enhancing drugs were listed next to his name.

in a vacuum, this all seems plausible. but he doesn't live in a vacuum.

[Edgy MD]

Whatever it be, I just love these multi-millionaires doing the most important business of their lives with guys who keep their financial records in pencil.

[ashie62]

Brauns lawyer paid this guy 20-30K as a consultation fee accounted for on a 6th graders lined paper.

"It's just a little Cervelli Champagne," said one player who wished to remain anonymous. "It's not like it helps."

Quotes we'd like to see.

I once tried to live in a vacuum. It was too dusty for me. I spent most of my free time vacuuming.

Jhonny Peralta and Jesus Montero listed, too. (Like Cruz, Melky, and Gio Gonzalez, these guys are Seth/Sam Levinson clients.)

Braun confesses on the back of his 2012 Baseball card

"he's become a superstar paddling little white balls in his real job."

Ha. The attorney handling the PED allegations is named Barry Boss. And representing me in my murder defense will be my attorney, AJ Simpson.

Mets Cesar Puello and our old buddy Fmart linked to Biogenesis

Per Rubin...

[Edgy MD]

Everth Cabrera, too. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/61167/otl-mets-prospect-puello-f-mart-linked-to-lab

Kinda surprised Reyes' name isn't surfacing. Immature, impetuous, a little vain, desperate to get healthy in time for a walk year, releases a video of his workouts with sledgehammers an 'splosions, has the year of his life in his walk year, a little self-justifying, and seemingly naive.

Probably either more cunning or more pure than I give him credit for. Maybe both.
