It's easy being white.

He won. Not suspended 50 games.

We're all racists, now!

White power!

[Chewford]

We already were.

Yay! My favorite non Marlins player.

AP had a typo saying that the MLB said he lost it but instead the headline was suppose to explain that the MLB disagrees with the ruling.

Braun won his case. 3-man panel, with MLB, union and independent arbitrator. Arbitrator swung his way

Was 2-1 in favor of Braun..

Statement from MLB Executive Vice President for Labor Relations Rob Manfred:

“Major League Baseball considers the obligations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program essential to the integrity of our game, our Clubs and all of the players who take the field. It has always been Major League Baseball’s position that no matter who tests positive, we will exhaust all avenues in pursuit of the appropriate discipline. We have been true to that position in every instance, because baseball fans deserve nothing less.

“As a part of our drug testing program, the Commissioner’s Office and the Players Association agreed to a neutral third party review for instances that are under dispute. While we have always respected that process, Major League Baseball vehemently disagrees with the decision rendered today by arbitrator Shyam Das.”

Major League Baseball said Thursday in a statement that it "vehemently disagrees" with arbitrator Shyam Das' decision to overturn Ryan Braun's PED suspension.
Das made the decision Thursday evening after hearing an appeal from Braun last month in New York City. According to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "the appeal went Braun's way not so much on contesting the result" but through "some kind of technicality." This story is undoubtedly far from over, but Braun will be in Brewers camp on Friday and a free man when the regular season opens in early April. It's a major victory for the Brewers and for the 2011 National League MVP himself.

hmmmm

Maury Brown @BizballMaury
Now, Braun's HOF chances are diminished. In eyes of Das, reasonable explication. Think writers will remember that? Hell no.

Do you believe this really is the case? Granted, it's a while before this will come up.

@AaronRodgers12: MLB and cable sports tried to sully the reputation of an innocent man. Picked the wrong guy to mess with. Truth will set u free #exonerated

Twitter: Letting you see the illogical things people you like for their athletic prowess say since 2009 (or, whenever it started.)

He used sully!
