I didnt read the article but I have to think this was a commissioners decision. If so, this makes that idiot commissioner look even less like a true commissioner. Let me see, didn't Selig used to own the Brewers? Nope, no favoritism there.

Honestly, this outcome doesn't really do anything for his reputation...Good or Bad...If he did it, he did it. If not, then he didn't. This decision doesn't answer any of that.. Yes, he won the appeal. Sure, by a technicality. But taking full advantage of that technicality was probably the easiest way for Braun and his lawyers to get him off the hook. It doesn't necessarily mean that he did anything, nor does it mean that he didn't. All it means is that this was the easiest road to travel in his appeal.

The true shame of the whole thing is - we never should have even heard anything about it. It is supposed to be confidential. Innocent or guilty he reputation has been harmed.

Oddly, for me, I find myself generally agreeing with most of what's been posted, with the exception of one post. Contrarian me is in general agreement....

But Oh, that one post. Thank you Jon Fowler. While I'm not a fan of the Pirates (preferring the Cardinals for 49 years), that is one fine post you've made. I will laugh out loud about it for days, whenever I think of it. Those of us who are fans bow to you, one dedicated Bucs fan. I'm in absolute agreement, and in awe of that!!!!
