Does MLB still think Braun's a cheater?

He Cheated he lied, he said that he loved me!!!

Whoa! Is this the same Selig who turned a blind eye to the Steroid ERA? Is this the same Selig w ho turned his other blind to the purchase of the Dodgers by McCourt? Is this the same Selig who has turned both blind eyes to how his buddies, the Wilpons, have been running the Mets into the ground? Awww yes, me thinks me smells the stench of a converted sinner, Bud Selig.

Braun was cleared of any wrong doing.
Case closed!

No. He was never cleared of anything. Nor did he deny anything. Only the handling process.

Braun was NOT cleared of any wrong doing. Braun was basically given a pass on the sample itself, regardless of what the results of the test revealed. The sample was handled in a mannger not consistent with the agreed upon methods and thus his sample was thrown out. It is no different than when a person gets pulled over for DUI, blows above the allowable limit, and gets away without a DUI because of some technical flaw in why the person was pulled over in the first place.

Braun will be linked to this incident for the rest of his career.

He will get busted down the road.

Not quite.

It's no different than a situation in a hospital where your blood sample was taken and then wasn't handled properly in-between the phlebotomist who took the sample and the doctor who reported the computer-printed result to the DA. Do we know that the chain of custody was maintained? If not, then we can't be 100% sure that the result is accurate or the result being reported on belongs to the person to which it is attributed. And if you knew how many people who died in a hospital because they were given someone else's meds, then you'd appreciate the importance of a six-sigma-like process.

MLB screwed up. Bud Selig should stop blaming Braun, man up, and say they screwed up. He should say that THEY failed MLB, and promise to do better. Braun's reputation is forever tainted - whether or not he deserves it. MLB management deserves as much if not more so.

Me too. It's even better than staying at a Holiday Inn Express.

But Selig and his staff can be unforgiving when it comes to people they believe have cheated baseball. Ask Pete Rose. Or Barry Bonds.

No one accused Pete Rose of cheating, he was accused and convicted of being a degenerate gambler who bet on his own team to win certain games when he was the manager and could determine the outcome by playing certain players.

Bonds is a steroid using POS. This is a fact, not an accusation. Lids had to make a new hat size and called it The Bonds. It's for people who have a bobblehead sized head so out of proportion to the rest of their body that their neck goes lame.

Sorry Atro.

Exactly. Holiday Inn Expresses don't offer bacon. The bastids.

This the same guy who gave Manny a 100 game suspension then reduces it to 50 after he comes back from retirement. The same guy who forgave A-Roids after he lied to Katie Couric on national TV then later admits to using.

The same guy who now wants to add another team to the playoffs. The same guy who wants to blend the AL & NL.

One thing about A-Rod though. He slept with a 50 year old Madonna and has pictures of himself kissing mirrors, so I'm not sure if he even knows what reality is anymore.

Nonsense. This will blow over just like it did for every other player who tested Pos. The difference is he receives the additional benefit of being cleared. All he has to do is produce and everything will take care of itself

If he felt he was going to get cleared on the handling and didn't even bother with a denial, it speaks volumes.

At least everyone else tried denying it.
