"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

The Annals of Justice

If the piss ain’t shipped, you must acquit.

If you can’t see the pee, he must walk free.

If FedEx is closed, your case is hosed.

If the pee is refrigerated, he must be exonerated.

What you got…?

With a nod to BDP..."The P is still free."

If the sample meets delay, then urine for a good day.

[1] & [2] Nice ones.

people be riding the Righteous Indignation Express on this story like whoa!

I'm not someone who gets hung up on steroids, put Clemens and Bonds and everyone else in the Hall for all I care. We can't pretend like they never existed. BUT I don't think because of what happened here everyone who thought Braun a user owes him some kind of apology.

He got off on a technicality, and technicalities exist for a reason and are a legitimate reason for acquittal. But acquittal is not exoneration.

[4] Yeah, great job to avoid punishment, but so far, no explanation for his piss rocking all that synthetic testosterone.

First name's Ryan,
I ain't lyin'.
last name's Braun.
Get off my lawn.
The defense rests

Bud, serve 'em some spittle,
And let's have an acquittal.

If your fingers are bleached, the results can be impeached.

When the pee is left unattended, the arbiter gets offended.

If you refrigerate, the testosterone might replicate.

One day delay, now 50 games to play?

Maybe the currier should have used UPeeS?

You guys are on a roll!

[10] I know...the word its courier.

They should let these guys take whatever they want to. It is too hard to keep testing them. And what if you find out someone has cheated in October and took steroids and they won the World Series. They are suspended, but the trophy stays with the cheaters anyway?

Look at Lance Armostrong. Many people believe he cheated, but the technology keeps changing. It is hard to figure out what scientific leaps will be made.

These athletes are using themselves as guinea pigs, and maybe some good does come out of it? Maybe we figure out ways to treat muscle loss and pain?

Baseball players have been cheating since the games inception. Throwing games, stealing signs, scuffing balls, corking bats, etc.

Testing is never going to be 100%, and sheds doubt on everyone in the sport. Who is clean and who is not? Some players just get painted with the steroid brush, because there is a suspicion, but no proof.

Who doesn't want to see muscled freaks throw a ball 150 mph, and see it crushed out of a ballpark and go 850 feet?

And on a side note: Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame. My soapbox speech is now over.

13) Give the Governor a "Harumph."

Harumph!

"You watch your ass."

Mr. Braun. It appears your sample was a strange brew.
Take off, ya' hoser!

Prorogation of the micturition leads to your exoneration.

M.V.P.E.D.
