    Can't see how that would matter in this instance. Brewers aren't cutting Braun.

    But will he still be pounding 30+ homeruns a season off of the juice?

    Is there any angle they can play by voiding this contract and still having him under control since he hasn't hit the six-year mark? Or, since the 2016-2020 years of the contract were added on to the initial one, can that portion be voided? That's a big number for a guy with suddenly this kind of uncertainty.

    If he was facing a three year suspension they would.

    But RBI singular and RBI plural are identical, or so some say. It's all so confusing.

    Sad thing is, even if cleared this sticks to him like stink on shit. Cynics will roll their eyes and figure baseball just couldn't deal with a cheater as MVP. Hey it was all a mistake!

    My first reaction was "Oh, Jesus Christ, here we go again." If you're a huge baseball fan this can only be bad news.

    MLB has yet to even issue a statement. If the lab did fuck up, no doubt the league would have preferred to keep the whole thing quiet. If he sues the shit out of anyone it should be the source of the leak to ESPN.

    This stuff doesn't surprise me at all. It's why I can't take MLB seriously.
