Braun also apologized to Laurenzi, stating that he "'deeply regretted'" the comments he had made about him.
Good for him but apologies don't erase what he did.

As long as someone deeply regrets attacking your character and leaving a stain on your name I guess that makes everything okay.

Apologizing after you are caught lying, cheating and slandering someone when your goal is to continue playing baseball for big money simply makes him a hypocrite as well.

As Adam likes to observe

He also stole Matt Kemp's MVP Award.

It'd be nice if the Brewers won the WS a year after he was done playing and a month or so after he retired.

Like to not see him get a ring and be so close just like Bryce Harper.

Really?

Second half of 2011

Braun 67 G, 257 AB, .346 AVG, 17 HR, 49 RBI, .392 OBP/.642 SLG/1.034 OPS

Kemp 69 G, 273 AB, .337 AVG, 20 HR, 63 RBI, .400 OBP/.590 SLG/.990 OPS

Both players had great seasons. Braun outperformed Kemp in the second half, while in the middle of a pennant race. The Dodgers were out of it by mid season.
