Braun will not be suspened for 50 games. ( I am way to lazy to post the article on this one)
Right or wrong? If there is any doubt they made the right decision.
I would bet you a dollar to a donut hole that Selig is have shit fits right about now!!!!!!!!!

He was able to get around it on a technicality. I would expect Selig is relieved that his latest MVP has beat the rap -- for now, at least.

You are right Joe. Most difficult thing after being in the big game is NOT being in the big game. If he is doing it because he loves the game (which he might since this is a minor league contract) its one thing, if its clinging to the limelight, someone needs to take him aside and give him a talking to.

I'm surprised the Yanks agreed to do that -- maybe just a good-will move on their part.

They have enough money to buy another pitcher and enough good players -- both on their major league roster and in the minors -- to trade for one, if that's the case.

The Giants and Matt Cain are at odds on his contract renewal. I have a feeling that the Yanks could be a big bidder for him next season.

Joba Chamberlain has no business being on a trampoline in the midst of spring training.

... or any other time for that matter.. he doesnt have the tits for it to be worthwhile.
Edited:FWIW... he will have plenty of time to think about what his new contract will be worth after this season.

Yeah, let's print the playoff tickets.
BTW, The David Wright Death Watch is officially on -- the better he starts off the season, the sooner he'll be traded. They may not even wait until the trading deadline to offload his contract.

This is way to much bullshit over one statement from Ozzie Guillen about Castro. The 24/7/365 sports media just keeps jacking this up. Why don't they just gives us scores and information and let this kind of shit die.

Well, given the fact that the Miami-based Cubans are protesting and calling for him to be fired or resign, I'd say it's a pretty significant news story. Also, when you combine it with all of the dumb stuff Ozzie's done/said through the years, it shows how self-destructive the guy is; a week into the season, he's already wearing out his welcome.

What I would like to know is how many of those Miami based Cubans are second or third generation. By that time who gives a shit.
I am third generation Italian and if some one would say they love Mussolini I could give a shit. Beside Ozzie is Venezuelan and I don't think that Venezuela has any realationship problems with Cuba.
Many of those that are calling for Ozzie's head would shit themselves pink if the USA reopen relationship with Cuba. They would all start loving Castro as if he was a long lost cousin.
Yeah Ozzie is self destructive and has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth, but I would pick him to manage my baseball team any day if I owned one.

There are Jews who weren't even born during WWII who have strong feelings about Nazis. Just because *you* don't give a shit about Mussolini doesn't mean other Italian-Americans feel likewise.
