TAMPERED SAMPLE!!!!1!!!!

 

In breaking news, Marlon Byrd will not be playing the outfield for anyone in MLB tonight.

In related news, neither will Jim Wynn, Bob Cerv or Steve Hovley.

And Rick Bosetti remains the only MLB outfielder with the goal of urinating in every outfield in the majors.

 

Another guy who protested *so* hard that it's enjoyable to see him caught.

 

The departure of Brent Lillibridge makes young children cry.

Or the visage of Kevin Youkilis might make any child cry.

(Why do people film this shit?)

 

I think the same thing when my Facebook friends post pictures of their kids laid up in the hospital. Let your kids have some dignity for chrissakes!

 

Unlike the reigning MVP, he was man enough to admit he got caught.

Via the Players Association, Byrd released the following statement:

“I made an inexcusable mistake. Several years ago, I had surgery for a condition that was private and unrelated to baseball. Last winter, I suffered a recurrence of that condition and I was provided with a medication that resulted in my positive test. Although that medication is on the banned list, I absolutely did not use it for performance enhancement reasons. I am mortified by my carelessness and I apologize to everyone who loves this game as I do. I will serve my suspension, continue to work hard and hope that I am given an opportunity to help a club win later this season.”


And, unless he's full of shit about the medical condition, he's either suffering from breast cancer or he's bipolar:

Just shocking that you believe the former Cub, but dismiss anything said by the Brewers' star player. Truly.

 

Some trains are never late.

Of course I believe Marlon Byrd when he says he took a banned substance. Why wouldn't I? He's as guilty as Ryan Braun.

Unlike Braun however, he's man enough to admit it.

 

Just trying to help ;D

 

If OoP didn't argue with that rodeo clown, no one would.
