		<description><![CDATA[He didn&#039;t &quot;only&quot; escape punishment due to a procedural technicality...once the collection error was in play, they didn&#039;t have to defend any further.

Think of it like a walk off single...Sure, the team may have been able to add a few more runs after that if they were allowed to bat, but MLB rules say once the home team takes the lead in the 9th or later, the game is over.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with, something silly going on, with his test. For it to be as high as it was, but I also wonder if there was a medical condition. 

Its one thing to ask questions, its another thing to just bash a person.

You got a guy like Cabrera who tried using a fake web site to help clear his name, while Braun stated that he was honest and claims he told them everything, Probably sounding quite credible, because I don&#039;t believe that just screaming chain of command would get someone off a suspension, but we shoudn&#039;t have known that, because Braun unfortunetly had to deal with leaks, and lack confidentiallity.

It also stinks, because no matter where his career goes from that day foward, there will always be a cloud over his head.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What this proves is that &quot;haters gotta hate&quot;!!!!
I think it&#039;s safe to say that he&#039;s being tested this season on a regular basis, doesn&#039;t have the protection of Prince Fielder and he&#039;s putting up great numbers. 

Keep on hating haters!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing this is not is proof he wasn&#039;t juicing.  Indeed, it isn&#039;t even evidence of that.

It is possible he&#039;s still using something that isn&#039;t tested for....or more likely than that, it is evidence that whether your are using or not, a little testosterone just doesn&#039;t change on-field performance of baseball players very much.  It isn&#039;t like Braun had a muscle-bound physique like those that were so common throughout the 90s.]]></description>
