God I hope there is something wrong with this. There is no way this is true. Is there?

I'm going to cry.

This just ruined my day. I'm going to try my best to ignore it and hope for Braun to become the first MLB player to successfully win the appeal....

Seriously tho...what the fuck? This is like finding out Santa Claus isn't real

There goes his career

Why would this ruin his career? It is a terrible thing if he did it, but a lot of guys have gone on to have great seasons after testing for PEDs

Not at all. He tested negative numerous times in the past. He may have started using but with the testing they have his results aren't just because of steroids.

While it will put a big black eye on his legacy I have no doubts he will continue to be a great player. Just has no 'hall of fame' potential now.

It's too bad. I could see Weeks, Fielder, even a guy like Aramis Ramirez testing positive but not Braun. His 'look' doesn't scream steroids.

Not production wise. He'll just have a bad reputation, be known as a cheater, and never have a chance for the HOF. Of course, if this is indeed true.

Thats just it, its not like his numbers this year were some sort of off the wall spike. And he has always tested negative. I want to believe that something got messed up, or he can win the appeal. Something just doesnt seem right.

Ouch..

I'm fucking floored. Tests positive after his MVP year... What a fucking disgrace.

I don't believe he knowingly took steriods (of course, I'm biased as a fan). But knowing his confidence in himself, don't think he ever would need to. Not saying he didn't unknowingly take something. Which sucks, cause if that's the case, he'll still be suspended and labelled a cheater.

FUCK.

It feels like my heart has just been ripped out of my chest.

I think this is spot on. He is guilty but only because he didn't pay close attention to what he was taking. It's really too bad.

How the fuck could he get caught. He's been tested since he came into the league.

thats just it. No way he knowingly was taking anything. Not when he was always getting tested, knowing he would get caught.

***speechless***

He's just such a badass, he probably naturally produces 10x the normal amount of testosterone.

Ask Marisa Miller.

More room for our payroll!

Fucking depressing.
