Good riddance to this scumbag cheater. Called press conferences to indignantly profess his innocence and accuse the guy of anti-Semitism and setting him up.
what really chafes me about Ryan Braun is that unlike all of the other ballplayers who were nailed for PEDs, he tried to take down someone just doing his/her job — the sample collector, whom he additionally accused of antisemitism. Yeesh

100% agreed. He's the Lance Armstrong of baseball, minus the championships. He should have been banned for life. At least he'll never never even sniff Cooperstown. [Reply]

They definitely will earn it with so many games against that Brewers staff. I just have to not watch, every time they pull me back in and they go on a little run, I watch and they blow a multi run 9th inning lead. :-) [Reply]

Only saving grace is the Brewers have essentially clinched the division at this point. Maybe they lose focus to some extent? [Reply]

Maybe, but as division rivals that is probably less likely. I'm sure they would like nothing better than to bury us. [Reply]

The Reds definitely have the easiest remaining schedule with 7 against the Pirates and 4 against the Nationals. [Reply]

Haven’t been paying attention. Saw some headlines about blowing big leads in the bottom of the 9th. Then I see they took over the lead for the final WC spot. Now won 7/8. 1.5 game lead for the final WC spot.
Maybe Waino can give us his best performance ever. Flaherty can give us one to two innings. And a lot of luck, beat LA in a one game only scenario. [Reply]
