    Ryan Braun busted for PED use; faces 50 day ban

    Wow... Not good.

    National League MVP Ryan Braun, who last season led the Milwaukee Brewers to their first division title in nearly three decades, has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and faces a 50-game suspension.
    WAR? Prove it!

    Just another black eye
    Using a stolen chant from Boston Celtics fans whenever an L.A. team is playing up there just reeks of inferiority complex.

    If hitting a baseball is the toughest thing to do in sports, then pitching must be the easiest thing to do in sports.

      I just heard. This is crazy! One of the guys I like. He seemed to be a good kid, and did things the right way. I guess you never know huh? This hurts the Brewers hard, especially if they lose Prince.

              Makes you wonder if they'll take the MVP away from him now.
              46 wins to match last year's total

                      MLB doesn't give out the award. The writers do and he tested positive well after they submitted their ballots.

                        Ryan Braun signed a 5 year contract extension in April of this year. That extension will add another 105 million dollars to his bank account. By the time that contract extension is over Braun will have made 150 million dollars minus 50 games worth of pay. I think he learned something all right. Steroids pay.

                          Who's "they"? MVP ballots are due at the end of the regular season and the test was during the playoffs.
