So, do you believe him? Forgive him?

Ryan Braun apologizes for PED use

Ryan Braun's full statement

Why? 4-6 weeks means he's back for the playoffs. And with a 15 game lead with 36 to go, they could take the entire Angels team and still make the playoffs.

I agree with what you are saying regarding Dipoto and Scioscia. But the rest of the coaching staff I think is in jeopardy. Especially Butcher. When your pitchers go the wrong way like most of the Angels pitchers are doing, and then you see pitchers leave and do well, it should raise some suspicion that maybe a change is for the better.

DiceK had good control in the Japanese league also. 1999 2.60 era, 1.17 WHIP 2000 3.97 Era, 1.35 WHIP 2002 3.68 ERA, 1.02 WHIP 2003 2.83 ERA, 1.18 WHIP 2004 2.90 ERA, 1.16 WHIP 2005 2.30 ERA, 1.03 WHIP 2006 2.13 ERA, 0.92 WHIP In his last 5 years in japan, his bb/k ratio was never over 0.33. Their stats are actually very similar. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?P=daisuke-matsuzaka http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?P=masahiro-tanaka

I need to keep on Arods good side, in case he gets suspended, and spills the beans about me, I mean all those dirty players.

DirectTV will be in trouble if that happens. People pay up the nose for DirectTV and take it because they can't get Sunday Ticket anywhere else. If Google gets it, it could be one big nail in the Cable/Satellite coffin. Might force MLB, NHL, and NBA to relook how they do their TV business.

So let's see. He got a lot of people for free after other teams released them. But of course there is the option of trading MLB young players for semi decent players from other teams, or gutting the farm even further for semi decent players. But the geneouses on this board thinks it is really easy.

Jerome doesn't deserve the loss for this game.

Yes, a 2 run game is so much better than a 1 run game deficit.

Yay a double. Chances he gets stranded?

Can't believe he swung at another pitch that again almost hit him.

That's one way to get a groundout.

Good first batter Boshers.

Good game by Jerome. Of course the offense didn't help any.

Very cool of him to do so. Wish he showed up at the game. He just seems like a cool guy to meet.

Not bad. Going to be an expensive post. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=tanaka003mas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masahiro_Tanaka Lot's of miles in high school and the pros. But the numbers are there. Of course, this little tidbit might be why he's being posted early. Since he still looks like he has 3 years left before FA'cy. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/masahiro-tanaka/ Glad we are on top of it though.

NIce recovery inning Jerome. Let's get some runs bats.

LOL. That's one way for Hamilton to get a DP.

And boom goes the dynamite.

sigh. Jerome, it's all up to you/.

Incoming Bourjos hate in 3....2.....

Bunt single. Nice by conger.

That's the way to get out of it.
