Guy Who Blogs About Cats Claims Ryan Braun, Robinson Cano and Others Will Be Suspended for PEDs

Joe Bisceglie is a blogger who often writes about cats. And Kate Upton. The site he writes for is called, “Dog and Pony Show.”
Monday, he received a text from someone claiming a few big-name MLB players – Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, Ryan Braun and Alex Rodriguez – were going to be suspended from MLB for PEDs. He felt the need to blog about this.
Bisceglie has taken an interesting position – hey, I’m not a reporter, I’m not investigating, I’m just gonna drop this text message I got onto the web. Do with it what you will. I’ll be right, or I’ll be wrong. We’ll see.
Sounds like – ahem – the early days on some sports blogs!
I’m not sure where this ranks compared to the dumb Jay Wright rumors from last Fall or the even more dumb Les Miles rumors from the weekend. The difference here, of course, is that two of the players have checkered PED histories, and a third, Cano, has dealt with this kind of garbage before. While nobody gave the Wright/Miles an ounce of credibility, Joe’s post has resonated in the New York area, especially on talk radio, where every 10th caller on WFAN all day has seemingly brought up the rumor.
The good news for Cano and Granderson, two guys with clean histories, is that something else will happen in sports – a buzzer shot in college hoops, the Lakers beat the Thunder, whatever – and it’ll quickly be forgotten.

Over two weeks away from Selection Sunday which is the only “sports-related” thing that could trump four of the largest stars in baseball being suspended. The masses could not give a shit about the day to day happenings of the NBA.

Actually his blog seems like it’s just about general shit. Like WWTTD.
It’s like introducing this blog as: “Guy infatuated with Russian car accidents….”
His source also had the Melky story from last summer. So that’s…something.
March 5th, 2013 at 3:40 PM

/red sox for 4th place!!!!!!!!
March 5th, 2013 at 3:41 PM
Yea, I don’t know how this can be posted without at least mentioning it. On July 18 of last year, he tweeted that Melky was going to be suspended. On August 15, the suspension happened. This is pretty effing relevant info, if you ask me. So, I would say there is actually ZERO similarity between this info and the Wright/Miles stuff.

This seems very childish, unncessary and secondary. You pissed a cat blogger has better MLB sources? Not sure why the quote above needed to be written or how it moves a story.

Even a cat blogger can have a friend who works in the MLB offices and likes to gossip.
March 5th, 2013 at 3:47 PM
This one made me laugh.
March 5th, 2013 at 3:47 PM
And let me clarify…this info very well might turn out to be bogus. But the fact that this guy had this info on Melky last year well before ANYONE makes him deserving of being taken more seriously than the liars who started the Wright/Miles BS rumors.

Joe Bisceglie is a blogger who often writes about cats. And Kate Upton. The site he writes for is called, “Dog and Pony Show.”
Seems like he should either rename his site or change the content to reflect a blog about parimutuel betting.

counterpoint to sarcasm: Coachman’s voice is slightly annoying, so knowing his schedule would be somewhat important for that small, yet important demographic (me)
