Way to go Ryan Braun. Let’s recap. MVP season, followed by humongous contract with the Brewers, followed by a flunked drug test with it’s mandatory 50 game suspension, followed by an appeal, followed by a rescinding of the suspension due to the test being mishandled, followed by a connection to Biogenesis, followed by a 65 game suspension for violating the leagues drug policies.
Ryan, you tool. You got off! You got to keep your 8 million and whatever dollars! You got to keep your NL MVP award! Why didn’t you just keep your mouth shut and play nicely? Remember last season when the first suspension was announced? This guy denied and denied and pissed and moaned and I swear, not a single baseball fan with a brain believed a single word he said, but he kept on bitching and denying and blah blah blah I didn’t do it yadda yadda yadda. Urgh. If he had just fessed up to it. Yup, I’m a doper. Punish me. It would have all gone away. You would have had a long vacation and then everyone would have taken you back and you and your Brewers could go back to the national obscurity you are all used to.
But no.
Ryan made a huge stink and then after he magically got off (the only player to do so, thusfar) he kept at it and now there is enough documented proof to warrant a new suspension. What does he say to us now? I’ve made mistakes. No shit, Sherlock. Urgh, it just makes me so mad. You signed an eight million and something dollar deal and somehow beat an unbeatable suspension and STILL you’re messing with this crap. Take your money. Be a good player in Milwaukee instead of a great player. Work hard but don’t cheat, and all would be if not forgotten then pushed aside. I don’t get it.
So who’s next? A-Rod? Colon? Does it matter? Will the next suspendee do the right thing and just fess up and take the punishment?
There are two ways to deal with steroid allegations. There’s the Andy Pettitte way, and the Roger Clemens way. The two of them were named in the Mitchell report. They were said to have used PEDs together. Pettitte says, Yup ya got me. I’ll be good from now on. Clemens screams and yells and brings in the lawyers and whatnot.
Pettitte is still pitching. Clemens still looks like a douche.
Urgh, baseball. What is wrong with you guys. Do the right thing. Clean your dumb ass selves up. Stop being stupid. Stop dragging my game through the mud. Just stop being idiots.
