So much has gone on since I was last putting my thoughts here.  Yes, Travis...it can be a tad jittery, but your comment gave me hope it will all fall back into place.  Thanks my friend.

I L-O-V-E Baseball and it has been difficult the last few years with all of the allegations and cases of proven juicing.  Players looking for that edge, which used to be attained by a few more hours in the bating cage or on the field is now attempted through creams and gels and pills and needles full of chemical compounds made from animals, humans and in the laboratory.

Players have been caught after their career, and even some during their career.  Amazingly players in the minor leagues are continuing to be caught.  These young men who know the consequences these drugs will do to their bodies and to their chance to play the sport they so obviously want to play.

Then, this off-season the reigning National League Most Valuable Player has his test come back positive.  And not just a little positive, but full-blown "Dude, did you use the spike 5 minutes before you had to pee in the cup" positive.

I could recap it all, but I do not see the need.

Mr. Braun, you won. STFU.  and tell your lawyer to STFU.  Alluding to the tester messing with your samples...STFU.  Having your lawyer issue statements after the tester defends himself...STFU.

You never argued that the tester tampered in front of the Appeal Committee...you argued the sample was improperly stored...do not then come to the public and try and throw the tester under the bus...STFU

Please...just STFU ad play baseball...

This summer Nancy and I will be going to New York for a little vacation...That is assured, as we will also attend my 40th High School reunion.

Amazing...40 years...and in my magic mirror I am still only 26!

think on that a while....
