Oso planning to go pro
Win tonight and take 3/4 this weekend and the last week of the season is going to be incredible regardless of the final outcome.
Brew Crew holding strong, though, with Cubs coming to town.
Where are Biaz's dope braids?
Although I don't have a horse in the NL Central race, I always get some pleasure out of seeing Braun take an oh-fer in a big game.My least-favorite player in baseball. Of all the cheaters - Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Palmeiro, A-Rod, etc, etc - only Braun brazenly tried to ruin another human's life so he could protect his secret. Scum of the earth.
While I agree he's a POS, you just started a new thread about a group of people who I would consider "scummier" than Ryan Braun. And there are, sadly, a lot of people out there who are "scummier" than them. "Ruin another human's life" is taking it a bit far. He questioned the integrity of another human's ability to do his side job correctly. That's a pretty far cry from "ruining a human's life."If you limit it to just sports figures and take out the likes of people who murder people in drunk driving incidents and shootings, have dozens of illegitimate children, beat their children or wives or girlfriends, and dozens of other things, Ryan Braun is up there.
Sure. Yes. There are scumbags who are higher on the scum-of-the-earth scale than Braun. He didn't murder or rape anybody. He nonetheless is still scum of the earth to me - worse than all the other steroid cheats IMHO, and very easy to root against.I don't expect Brewers fans to root against him. Fans will root for anybody, including all of those even scummier scum-of-the-earthers who do the stuff you mentioned.
Braun ain’t watt he wuz. Basically, shot his load and now just middle of da road. I contend he signed da big contract years ago, knot ‘cuz he luved MKE, butt because it wuz an “annuity” for wen he new he’d eventually get busted. Da dude’s a huge dick, not in a good wey, and I’d trade his nappy ass for a bag of soiled rosin, ai na?
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I'd say trying to get a man fired from his job would count as ruining someone's life.Then after getting off on that technicality, he got caught again. Why should I assume he has learned his lesson and still isn't using?Far and away my most hated player in the history of baseball. It turns out Ty Cobb was actually not a bad guy (http://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/arts/2015/06/09/ty-cobb-myth-legend-popular-culture/28765125/).
If that makes Braun the scum of the earth and someone who "tried to get a man fired from his job" and "ruining his life" then I guess Braun is.
Edit: And fourth of all, he wasn't "caught again." It was his involvement with Tony Bosh and the files he handed over to the MLB from prior to his failed drug test that he was suspended for, not a second failed drug test.
First of all I'm fairly confident that Ryan Braun wasn't the one coming up with the legal strategy on his appeal or the one writing up the statement he made. But hey, maybe I'm wrong there.Second of all, there's an appeal process for a reason. Guilty or not, every defense team in the world will try to find the loophole in the case. Braun's legal team found one. If that makes Braun the scum of the earth and someone who "tried to get a man fired from his job" and "ruining his life" then I guess Braun is.Third of all, again, this was Laurenzi's side job. I know plenty of people who have very good full time jobs and pick up side jobs for some extra money or just because they want to occupy their weekends. I'm fairly confident their lives wouldn't be ruined if they got fired from their side job. Maybe Laurenzi is different and his life would be over if he was fired.I've been a Braun hater for along time. But the "scum of the Earth" and the "ruining a man's life" is quite a bit of hyperbole.Edit: And fourth of all, he wasn't "caught again." It was his involvement with Tony Bosh and the files he handed over to the MLB from prior to his failed drug test that he was suspended for, not a second failed drug test.
So he was lying the first time he said he was innocent and chose to place the blame on the carrier. Cool.
Do you think Braun knew or gave a sh*t if it was his side job? He was lying and throwing someone under the bus to protect himself. FYI, losing a job can be absolutely devastating to someone depending on the timing and circumstances, even it it is not a lucrative job.
How does that make it any better? His legal team works for him. He could have just said "I did it" instead of letting an innocent man take the blame.
