Keep ‘em coming, Samardzija, and any other player that mocks the alleged cheater

Right. “Alleged”. The tester didn’t send the sample right away, didn’t tamper with it, and so Braun is innocent…

nope.

“but you know, hey lawyers … having good lawyers helps out”

I assume he learned this lesson during the Declan Sullivan debacle?

It’s actually a pretty awesome year, which was kinda my point. Braun is great and Samardzija didn’t seem like he was burning him sickly or otherwise.

wouldn’t it make more sense to say “Cubs pitcher takes a shot at Ryan Braun” ? You know since they are in the same division and all that.

When I saw it, I was thinking malcom Flord or Golden Tate and thought who cares?

down year for a ‘roider

Yeah, but we gotta “manage expectations”, don’t we?

…which wouldn’t be a bad year, especially if the team is in contention.

I’m predicting a down year for Braun, too. Something in the range of .290, 30 HR, 95 RBI, 15 steals

Sick burn. Keep ‘em coming, Samardzija, and any other player that mocks the alleged cheater. We’ll post all of them.

Is it a burn/mocking of Braun? It seems like he’s just talking about the Brewers.

A website. On the internet. Seeking pageviews?

I’m thinking it’s more the adamant (to the point I think it has to be tongue in cheek) refusal that it’s about pageviews. Everyone knows, so why pretend it’s not the case?

Also, it’s the People’s Eyebrow.

Why the F didn’t this guy play football? Asshole.

Perhaps being able to talk to his family coherently and knees that work at 60 is worth more to him than gridiron glory for 5 years.

Tough talk from a guy who will be facing the Akron Aero’s in a few weeks.

Canal Park is a good pitcher’s park.

Serious ?: Is there OPS+ and other advanced (pithcing) metrics for for the minor leagues?

Davey “Pageviews” Portnoy embraces what he is, yet JMac refuses to. Putting Notre Dame in the headline = more clicks. This website is a piece of shit.

$10m+ his first five year contract, and $2.64 on a one year deal for 2012 seems like a good enough reason to not get killed in football.

Solid, but it’s not like Brady Quinn ever seems to get hurt in the NFL.

Also, is his statement really even a subtle dig at all

No, it’s not a subtle dig, it’s a sick burn. I guess you didn’t read the post

would love to hear TBL’s response if Braun represented himself or got the MLB equivilent of a public defender. He got off due to good lawyers, we should all be so lucky.

That’s all well and good and if he kept his mouth shut after that rather than libel the tester who was doing job he wouldn’t be getting the shit storm he’s going to get at every park this year.

The NFL was bumping up against its white WR limit anyway.

There’s always room for one more on the Pats.

JMac should stick to what he knows, blind posts and tossing grenades in the comment section. leave sports articles to the experts.

Non-guaranteed contracts, shorter career vs guaranteed contract, longer career

$10m+ his first five year contract, and $2.64 on a one year deal for 2012 seems like a good enough reason to not get killed in football.
