In Braun's defense, Henry Aaron is no longer with us so he can't say anything.

Also, apparently in Braun's world, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor are also dead and can't say anything.

Finally, screw Ryan Braun.  Never forget he's the guy who failed a steroid test and then accused the poor medical courier of tampering with his sample even though Braun - as he later admitted - was using PEDs and the sample was not tampered with.

Franco no showed a summons to a Dominican court this morning. I'm guessing he's either in a country with no extradition or at the bottom of the Caribbean. 

yeah the odds of Wander being found dead somewhere are disturbingly high with what's going on lately

Not only accused the courier of tampering but of said tampering being motivated by antisemitism

Omar Vizquel is being accused of some absolutely awful conduct by a former bat boy when he was manager of the Birmingham Barons.

New thread probably whenever something happens this season. 

Anyway... this is a fan and not a player, but  lol...

 

[Raziel]

I don't know what I was expecting...

[Travis Sheldon]

I prefer a barrier betwixt receptacles if for no other reason than splash guarding.

Hated the troughs that old arenas used to have.

St. Louis Arena, home of the Blues, had one of the nastiest.

[odessasteps]

I remember troughs in Memorial Stadium.

[BobbyWhioux]

urinal troughs were an integral part of the Candlestick Park experience

[elizium]

Troughs in the old Winnipeg Arena too. Horrifying.

Was it Chicago Stadium that had toilet stalls without doors?

The old Princeton Tigers football stadium had troughs. It never really bothered me. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

IE how to do a documentary based on a book written by someone in jail for domestic violence without saying you are doing a documentary based on a book written by someone in jail for domestic violence

[Cobra Commander]

Jonah Keri could have appeared as a talking head in that Expos documentary if not for the whole “Jonah Keri is in prison for assaulting his wife and son” thing.

Boy it’s awkward to have an interesting book written by a guy who destroyed his career by being terrible to women and children.

[RIPPA]

Cobra and I both immediately thinking the same thing

There's another guy that's written something like 10 books on the Expos while not committing felonies that will likely be heavily featured instead of Keri. 

[odessasteps]

It’s an interesting juxtaposition with the Vince scandal, where we all knew Vince was a bad person and just got details on how bad. Whereas, Jonah always seemed like a good guy in public until all the bad stuff came out. 
 

morale: DTA  

[Brian Fowler]

Not that he should be in the documentary or anything, but shouldn't Keri be out now? He was sentenced to 21 months about 23 months ago 

Unless his sentence didn't start until a bit later than sentencing.

Everything I saw says "release in early 2024" so yeah

I know he was denied parole once but I never heard anything about an incident that would have added time
