OT: every Braves fan ever: "WE BLEEPING KNEW IT" (Melky suspended 50 games)
http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/0...um=twitter
i like that Melky copped to it (note to arod, pettitte, etc - this is how you do it):
"My positive test was the result of my use of a substance I should not have used. I accept my suspension under the Joint Drug Program and will try to move on with my life. I am deeply sorry for my mistake and I apologize to my teammates, to the San Francisco Giants organization and to the fans for letting them down.”
but i dont like the fact that a writer had to apologize last month for reporting it:

Maybe Melky should apologize to him now.

He really did have the stuff to be a pretty good baseball player but it was somewhat noticeable as her got bigger since he was on the yankees... i always thought it was just him getting older but oh melky
this is sad

Wow and I was just thinking not long ago how the Braves must miss him since he was doing good out west.

Is it really a "mistake" if he intended to do it? Seems to me a mistake would be accidental. Melky probably should've just called it a poor lack of judgement. How do these players think that they won't get caught?

I'm out here in the Bay Area, and the afternoon sports talk shows are just barbecuing Melky and all users.
It is NOT a good day for Giants fans, which sucks, because Lincecum and Strasburg are going head to head right now. Would have been a sweet day if not for this.

I don't see him play much, but when SF played St. Louis last week I thought he looked noticeably bigger than what I had remembered him to be. Sad thing is he'll serve his 50 games and admit he messed up, but guys like Braun who did the same thing can get away with it.
