I think they should have done this for awhile instead of going off formulas

Sure this would benefit someone like me who is a Royals fan but I prefer not to have the commish (who signed an agreement after saying years ago he'd be done with his last contract) do this.

'Loper, Bud has done some good things for baseball that has been overshadowed by some of his failure to do what he ought to do plus some unpopular comments.

This ballpark in Lakewood where I live is a miniature version of Coors Field.  Bud Seilg was really blown away by that stadium at that time.  They even have the same neon scoreboard found at Coors Field.

Trust me I'm sure the positives will outweigh the negatives but as a fan of a small market team that bugs me. Salaries are out of whack, gap between the have's and have nots plus he is ruining his own wildcard idea by adding more. Sure giving teams more of a chance to get into the postseason is great but in all likelyhood it'll be a AL East team that nabs it.

I know he means well, but that's a bit insulting.

If he has so much respect and admiration for the Cardinals franchise, its history and the players that came before him, then why did he leave?  You can't wax poetic about how great something is right after you threw them to the curb.  If he wants to leave for money, that's his right, but don't talk out of both sides of your mouth once you walk out the door.

Looks like baseball's drug testers didn't do their job and the NL MVP's 50 game suspension has been overturned.

I don't get it but when you are faced with a suspension that could really define your character, both sides should do their jobs properly.

This doesn't pass the smell test.  So the sample sat in a refrigerator ove a weekend... BFD!  Are there urine burglars out there in the world who are notorious for breaking into secure labs and spiking innocent patients' samples?  Braun never actually challenged the result of the test, only the chain of custody of the sample.

If MLB is angry they should be able to appeal right?
