Brewers and Marlins play a 13 inning scoreless game that still took less time than the Yankees and Red Sox.
This is ridiculous.
EDIT: I said that in the 8th as we were approaching 4 hours. Little did I know this one would go extras too! LONGEST GAME EVER.

I saw the highlights of that Marlins/Brewers game this morning. How have the Marlins gone 37 straight innings without scoring a run?

Because their entire team payroll is less than what the Dodgers spend on two outfielders? |

He ruined a guy's reputation trying to defend himself from a fully failed test. Fuck him. He should be suspended for life. Having to test positive 3 times is a fucking joke.
EDIT: Life was too strong.

It isn't a big deal in terms of impact on the season, as the Brewers weren't going anywhere.

Which makes it all the more ridiculous that he's allowed to continue playing.

Yeah, Braun getting to skate on that first charge was just bullshit. I'm glad to see he's finally getting it, though really... it won't mean shit to him. He'll make more money next year when his salary goes up, the Brewers weren't anywhere near the playoffs, even 50 games is a slap on the wrist. And A-Rod, who admitted taking steroids before didn't serve a suspension for it so fuck him too.

My friend in Milwaukee has been appalled at how many people in the city just keep defending Braun all the way down. Even after he's admitted it, they want him to keep playing. It's absurd.

Well, he's never actually admitted to using PEDs. He has admitted to "mistakes" that he has made.  |

Good news- The Mariners have won 7 straight. The bad news? They are still 5 games under .500. They became a shitton more watchable when the promoted all the kids who can actually hit the goddamned ball at least.

I really hope they finish over .500 so my beginning of the year prediction on them doesn't look ridiculous. |

Well, he's never actually admitted to using PEDs. He has admitted to "mistakes" that he has made. Beyond admitting to his "mistakes" he's ot even contesting the charges. For now, the best thing that could happen imo is if Aaron Rodgers (even partially) would "#ponyup" on his "bet" regarding Braun's PED use. |

Of course he's not contesting the charges. He agreed to a settlement prior to them being released. His "admission" was probably very carefully worded by MLB as well.

Yep, the real fight it coming later this week when they try to ban ARod for life. He's going to legally battle that tooth and nail. |

I doubt we'll see that. The punishment will likely be similar to the one Braun got as I'm sure the evidence is overwhelming and Rodriguez will want to keep the impact to the minimum possible.

That's not what I'm hearing. I'm hearing that the MLB wants to make an example of A-Rod regardless of what he wants. |

There are sources reporting lifetime ban is on the table. I don't see it happening in the end though, if I had to take a guess I'd say 100 games.

I bet the Yankees are cheering that on.
Does his contract get voided if he eats a life time ban?

Yes, which is I'm sure what's pushing MLB in that direction. |

You bet your sweet ass they'd like to see him get a lifetime ban. I just don't see it happening and sticking.
A Rod is such a piece of shit though. He definitely deserves it.

"This [situation on Wednesday] has nothing to do with anything except he wants to be back on the field," a friend of Rodriguez said. We all know that's bullshit. If the Yankees paid him $75M right now to never come back, he'd walk away quietly. This is only about the money, period, end of story. He knows he's never getting in the Hall, that all of his records are complete shit, and that he will be remembered as one of the most overpaid lying assholes in all of baseball. He's just clawing desperately to get paid, because that's the only thing he has left. |

It ain't like that dirtbag needs the money. If I had $75M to piss away, I'd give it to him just to get him the fuck out of the sport.
And Ryan Braun can eat a dick.

Thought: Hiroki Kuroda may be the most underrated pitcher in baseball, which is amazing considering where he plays.

When you get swept at home by the Cubs, is that the last sign that the season is over?
