[USML Announce] Anyone Surprised About This Story

Fri Feb 24 10:09:27 EST 2012

Oh, I believe he is innocent, sure.  As I understand the facts, his
defense was that yeah, he was using steroids, but that the mlb guy
should have hurried to get his sample to fed-ex on Saturday, and when he
didn't, end of story.  That's convincing to me.  Plus, while not much
has been reported about this, I heard that during the arbitration, he
was asked to try on Prince Fielder's batting glove, and it did not fit,
and well, you know the legal rule concerning ill fitting gloves.  Count
me among the skeptical for now.

Good writer, great reporter. And this story begs for reporting (beyond
Braun's people saying he's been vindicated and the anti-doping folks
saying he's getting a free pass). But unfortunately, she's busy (and
she's not a sportswriter). I hope somebody will do the story right, but
I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it.

No. Your wife is a GREAT writer. Now, what would it cost to get her to
freelance the story?

	In all seriousness, a friend of mine from Milwaukee told me 2
weeks ago he heard a story about how Braun had herpes and was taking
some sort of medication for that which had a steroid in it.  Given the
secrecy surrounding the situation, I would not be surprised if that's
true.

	I think the joint tucked behind the ear was going to screw up
the attempt to hide the evidence.

	However, when I saw the re line on your e-mail, I thought you
would be asking about Ryan Braun beating the MLB on his positive.  Now
there's an interesting story.  I haven't seen any quality reporting on
it yet, though, so I don't know what to think.  If I could put Karen on
it for about 24 hours, I'd know the real deal on that one.

	Another incredible example of a waste of magnificent talent.

	The only thing surprising is that nothing was actually lit, just
tucked everywhere on his body (his lap, behind his ear, etc).  This is
more surprising:
