I Probably Didn't Frame Ryan Braun, But I Was Thinking About It
by Grant Brisbee on Feb 24, 2012 12:19 PM PST

PrintIf I were part of an Illuminati/Freemasons group that ruled the world, I would have spiked Ryan Braun's sample with testosterone. I would have watched MMA while drinking Keystone and listening to Godsmack, and I would have milked the stuff myself*. I would have snuck into the courier's secret urine vault, and I would have dumped all of the liquid testosterone in.
This isn't because I dislike Braun. He hasn't done anything to annoy me.
I mean, when it comes to baseball. He hasn't done anything to annoy me in the baseball world. Seems like an alright guy. His press conference today was impressive. But I still would have spiked the sample.
It would be a part of my secret-society plot that I'd title "Operation Make Fans of Every Other Team Realize Why Giants Fans Got Defensive Over Barry Bonds." It would be a secret plot to make fans of every other team realize why Giants fans got defensive over Barry Bonds. Suppose if it's really secret, it should have a code name, like "Operation Burkett? I Hardly Even Know It!" I'll work on that.
My secret society would have brought down the Cardinals' and Cubs' stars before they could do it themselves. The 1998 home-run chase wouldn't have been too sacred to ruin.
I would have put vials of all sorts of things in Eric Gagne's pockets before his press conference for winning the Cy Young, including vials of urine. Some of the urine would have even had illegal substances in it, as opposed to the other samples I contributed myself just because. I would have arranged it so some Rosenthal/Woodward/Bernstein wannabe would have noticed the stuff and created a hullabaloo.
I'd get the guys who are innocent, too. Justin Verlander is one of the coolest cats in the game, but I would still frame him. I'd leak doctored pictures to Deadspin of Verlander hanging out at HGH bars in Mos Eisley with fistfuls of the stuff.
Right now, there are a lot of Milwaukee fans who are interested in due process, who are upset about confidential information getting leaked to the media. Right now, there are people getting flummoxed because a player they love is still under suspicion. There are people who will never believe Braun was clean, who will always throw the "technicality" card back in the face of Brewers fans.
To which I say, "Yesssssssssssssssssssssss." A thousand times, yes. Beautiful.
For years Giants fans had to read articles about how they were horrible, miserable people because they still cheered for Barry Bonds. It's not a perfectly analogous situation to what Braun is going through, but there are some similarities. It was tough to explain ourselves. I've tried, but there's no way to really make other fans know what it's like until one of their players gets popped. Then they get to read the stupid articles and have the stupid debates where no one changes their mind. They get to cheer the player with more ambiguity than they'll admit to. A couple of fan bases get it now.
But more need to. All 30 teams need to have one of these situations. Then we can talk about this all like grownups. When our secret society gets time traveling capability -- I mean, if there were a secret society, of course -- we'll go back in time and take pictures of Babe Ruth snorting ground rhinoceros-horn powder. That stuff'll do you right. Until then, we can just wait for a Braun situation to pop up for every team.
We can wait. We can be patient.
* This is exactly how it works. Source.

Bonds was one ouf ours, so we defended him.
Braun is one of Milwaukee’s, so they defend him. It’s human nature to defend someone you love.
I don’t pay attention to most sports programs, magazines, etc… but I hope they are screeching about sanctity and sullying the game as much as they were with Bonds.

There’s more to it than just the positive test. This is the part that’s aggravating me. The technicality is part of the process!
As I said before: there’s certainly a legal argument that he should not be suspended. As far as I can discern, there’s no scientific one.

True because I’ve read nothing that would suggest how the test came back positive other than that it was something he took (knowingly/unknowingly), but also true is that the only possible way Braun could’ve fought this was to ignore the result and go after the process.
He didn’t have to challenge the test result to invalidate the test.
This is true. And it’s still completely reasonable to think that he likely doped.

I only care in so much as I want every other team to know that yes, your team also has people who juiced/juice. Totally on the same page as Grant with that one.

That sort of implies that he’s not really good, which is absurd because then you must think Bonds wasn’t that good, mid-30s and beyond.

To make this clearer
I find Cards fans to be annoying because they combine the heartfelt belief that they are somehow better at being fans than everyone else and thus deserve to win more with an honestly disturbing optimism. I’ve sat at a playoff game at Busch where the Cards were down something like 7 runs— and the worse it got, the more honestly convinced the people behind me were that the Redbirds were going to make a comeback for the ages, not all their fans are that bad, but I would say its a definite theme.

Blake and Barnes are pretty good off the bench…Goudelock has been a pleasant surprise. Murphy hits an occasional 3 but otherwise sucks. Kapono is shit. McRoberts is good on D but not so much with scoring. Walton is shit. MWP has his head up his ass but has a great game once in awhile and plays pretty solid defense. Morris sucks balls. Fisher hits an occasional big shot, but otherwise sucks too.
So you’re mostly right, but…not entirely

Maybe Goudelock and Barnes… I’d be shocked at anyone else drawing any interest whatever. Like I said—NOTHING else. If the difference between nothing and what the Lakers have is 2-3 players you wouldn’t be embarrassed to have on your bench, that’s a bad thing.

What thimble-full of knowledge I may have about hitting mechanics comes from listening to Krukow, and he always talks about the legs being still or something like that. Now Frank Thomas is one of the five greatest right-handed hitters of the last quarter century, but when I watch him I notice that both feet seem to leave the ground as he swings. Anyone else notice that? I never understood how a hitter could do that and be so good.

rWAR has him at 171.8

They didn’t account for his base running at all between those years. He had 188.3 fWAR if you don’t account for base running at all. I don’t think it would be hard to imagine that Barry was +12 baserunning in his career.

Adopted parent of Nate Schierholtz: The Greatest Fear of All Chinese Catchers
Okay, I was going off the baseline of 168, which is what you quoted upthread. As good as Barry was, he wasn’t worth 30 fWAR in non-steals baserunnning. Truthfully, I’m a little skeptical that he would be worth even 12 fWAR in baserunning (baserunning is measured in runs, not wins, so you need to divide by 10 to get to wins).
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
I see what you are saying
Juan Pierre is +4.7 WAR for his career (2000-2011) and Figgins is +4.1 (2002-2011). I think that Barry would probably be +7 or 8 in those 17 years.

On topic-ish: Important points from si.com article:
while details of the chain of custody of Braun’s sample were not immediately available, a source with knowledge of the sample said that the seals on the sample were unbroken when it arrived at the lab, and that standard lab tests on the sample showed that it had not degraded. In December, SI.com confirmed that Braun’s sample was found to have an elevated level of testosterone, and that it tested positive for synthetic testosterone.
Also:
“Around the world, on Sundays or holidays, couriers don’t pick up and they don’t deliver,” said Travis Tygart, the CEO of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), which drug tests American athletes in Olympic sports. “Some of the labs around the world are closed over the weekend, so they can’t even accept samples. And, importantly, they don’t need to because synthetic drugs don’t magically appear in urine because it took 48 hours versus 20 minutes to get to the laboratory.”
Although the process was not deemed to have been followed, Braun was certainly not cleared. Just not suspended.
Which is actually somewhat unfortunate for Braun, if he insists that he is clean. Which really does appear doubtful, no matter what the appeal results are.

Signed by Giants area scout (and former big leaguer) Dan Murray in the 16th round, Blackburn would touch 94-95 mph, sitting in the low 90s, with good feel for locating the pitch, and both his curveball and changeup project as above-average pitches.

And the whole moon/sea thing
The “push and pull” relationship between the moon’s gravity and the water’s inertia is represented by Yin and Yang. The Moon Spirit koi is white, with a black forehead marking, and the Ocean Spirit koi is black, with a white forehead marking, mimicking the two primal forces.
Without the equilibrium of these two spiritual aspects, waterbenders lose their powers. This was illustrated when Tui’s mortal form was killed by Admiral Zhao during the Fire Nation’s siege of the Northern Water Tribe. The moon disappeared from the sky, the balance of the world was upset, and the waterbenders defending the North Pole were rendered powerless. However, it is currently unknown exactly what effect the death of the ocean spirit would bring to the balance.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
I guess this is also a possibility
Due to the fact that the original airbenders learned to airbend from watching the sky bison, it was possible that a new race of airbenders could be established the same way. Therefore, due to being the last of his species, Appa and the new sky bison could potentially help start a whole new race of airbenders.

I don't see what all the fuss was about
Were those pictures off subject? Cause there are plenty of threads in here that are WAY more off subject than Ryan Braun’s girlfriend. I mean, this topic is about Ryan Braun after all. I didn’t do anything to offend anybody, so what was the problem? I’m not complaining, I just don’t understand.

Apparently Weiss and Benioff are privy to at least some information about who’s key for the endgame and, yet, they’re leaving out the Reeds (for now).

For Season 2, at least.
There’s some speculation that they might just be pushing them back to S3, just to keep them from introducing too many characters in one new season.
But there’s also speculation that Osha might replace them.
I think they’re pretty important for their connection to Howland Reed… but then again, the show did downplay all the stuff that leads to the R+L=J theories, so maybe that just won’t be as important. Or maybe they’re figuring the show won’t actually cover the whole book series.

I used to like to throw in BBQ sauce or worchestershire sauce to give the burger more body, but I rarely just make straight up, good ol’ American hamburgers anymore, so it usually falls by the wayside these days in favor of fixin’s.
My current favorite is a Bobby Flay recipe, with steamed pasilla pepper, crushed blue corn chips, and a monterey jack queso sauce. With more chips on the side, of course. Soooooo good.

That’s a great idea, although you can put TOO much sauce in a burger, don’t want it like that, you’d like to keep it a bit dry, but yea, not tooooo dry. And yea, that’s pretty much what i do, just throw a ton of things together, mix it up, haha, maybe it’ll be good, maybe it wont.

You need some guidelines for carving it up by population, don’t you? If it weren’t for the special Hispanic district near Bakersfield, Hispanic voters in the southern San Joaquin Valley wouldn’t really have any representation at all.
That said, I think the best way to handle this would be through districts electing 4 or 5 members each, like they do in Ireland.

According to Wikipedia, he was a background puppet since 1972, and started getting his own stories in 1984-5.
The character must have really been in the background. I was 4 in 1972 so I watched it then. I do remember Snuffy being a character that only Big Bird and the children saw. The adults never did.

They had to change that, unfortunately, out of worries about molestation. They wanted to make sure kids knew that if something was real, adults could and would see it and believe it. Sad, but important.

He was introduced before Clash ever played the role. According to wiki he’s been around with different puppeteers since the early ’70s, and Clash took over and made the character a sensation around 1984 or so.

Elmo is cooler than you think. Yeah, it seems like he’s designed for 19-month-olds just learning to talk, but he has a sly sense of humor. Yes, it isn’t something you’d watch without a child, like the old Muppet Show, but Elmo has his moments.
Videlicet Elmo with Ricky Gervais:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jc20vMz0V7Q
Yes, Grover is cooler. Grover is the LSD casualty of the Muppets.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Elmo – he was my oldest’s favorite. She slept with a stuffed Elmo for years – I had to have one for home, one for the nanny’s house and a spare in case one was lost or in the wash. So I like Elmo.

The thing with the LSAT is that they are kinda testing your knowledge of the LSAT. Strictly speaking they are testing your reasoning, but understanding the test is just as if not more critical than success if you are going for a high score. As such, it’s a lot harder to “wing” the LSAT, I would say.

GRE vocab was way harder
though it’s a scaled test and the difficulty changes based on how well you do, so that could be a factor.
i didn’t think the math was too hard, but my percentile was pretty low even with a 700+ score because it’s really skewed by all the engineers who take it.

As a completely unexperienced guy who spoke some Mandarin but (more importantly) knew English, I was making $30/h teaching people in an English class. And this was the first opportunity that I encountered, and completely under the table.
If I’d actually looked for it, I have no doubt I could have made $100+/h, and that’s living in a place with significantly lower COL than the US.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
Yeah, probably. Good scores on the SAT, degree from Stanford? Yeah.
I was on the undergrad chemistry list at Stanford where we were getting offers to tutor high schoolers for AP Chem/SAT II in Chemistry. The starting rate was often $50-75/h, and that was negotiable.
Adopted father of Chris Lincecum, without whom (quite literally) Timmy would not exist.
I’m finding it hard not to compare those to consulting rates or lawyer’s billable hours. Rule of thumb, divide by three to get the real annual salary, so $100 an hour is not $200k a year, it’s $67k.
Decent money, but I’m not moving to Korea for it.

Did they get rid of the time pressure, too? I always assumed I scored better than everyone else because I could do three questions in the time it seemed to take most folks to do one.
When I was teaching it, our workbook we gave the kids had a sort of chart in it that showed what your score was based on how many questions you got wrong vs how many you skipped and it’s generally in your favor to slow down and make sure you get questions right, than to speed through and try to get the mall (esp in the math section because the hardest qs at the end.)

I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
If you’re skipping anything, you’re never going to do very well.
I suppose for some slowing down and not missing the makeable questions maximizes their score, but now you’re in utility infielder territory. The SAT is not Roy Halladay. Kids can beat it.
well, that’s just demonstrably not true, but sure.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
unless you’re great at math, I guarantee you that you’re probably almost always better off skipping the last 2 questions or so in each math section. You can still score at least 600 in those sections having done that, if not 700.

‘Very well’ no longer means ‘over 700’? Your very defined strategy of skipping the two hardest math problems aside, I posit that you will not score over 700.
Theoretically, it’s possible to score 700+ on each section while skipping 3-4 math questions and 2-3 RC questions, but it would require about 100% on everything else.
I suppose we’re coming from different perspectives though. I wasn’t really teaching kids who were scoring 700+ on each section. But if you’re trying to get from sub-500 scores on each section to something more like 600 on each section (which is more than acceptable for most colleges), learning to strategically skip will help you out a ton.
It’s not as though the only population that matters is the one shooting for a perfect score.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
Well, sure. That all sounds right, but then, so does ‘speed matters’.
Given enough time, I wonder how far I could raise that 480. You’re going to have to assume some of that is skill, some speed and some a native propensity for error. 650, time and effort no object?
I don’t really have any idea what you’re talking about. A lot of these kids would score a lot higher if they had more time, but they have 10-25 min per section and that’s it.
A lot of kids rush through to get to the end and make dumb mistakes early on and for… what? so they can get to the very difficult problems at the end that they probably can’t solve anyway?
For those kids, learning that it’s okay to slow down and focus on answering the questions you can answer as best as you can, even if you skip some, can really help.
I quit my job after I started my credential program, but they were trying to convince me to stay on and they told me I’d raised my kids’ scores from their first practice to their actual SAT test an average of 350 points.

I got a book that was like, “here is what they will ask on the test. There will be this many of each of these questions. Here are common tricks that they put on the tests. Here is a best practice for solving this type of problem which they will ask.”
Cost probably $40, and was well worth the money. Did maybe two nights of studying, and one practice test, and put up a competitive score for the schools to which I was applying.

Brendan Ryan hit a home run off Oliver Perez and subsequently didn’t run the bases. He just turned around and walked back to the dugout. Every part of this is my favorite. One interpretation is that Ryan doesn’t know what a home run is, and so he wasn’t sure what to do. Another interpretation is that Ryan wanted Perez to feel as bad as possible. The actual correct interpretation is that Ryan didn’t want to rub it in Perez’s face and figured the homer would’ve been a fly out in Safeco, but they don’t hold spring training so that players can just walk around and do whatever they want. Ryan was supposed to jog, and he didn’t jog. Look for Eric Wedge to make Ryan do some disciplinary circular jogging over the weekend.

I keep my house pretty well stocked with (X)quil and sudafed
because I seem to get a cold or congestion every time the wind changes direction.

Matt Cain said no change in negotiations now that his agents went to CAA in December. They’ll listen to anything “of fair value.”
Proud Papa of right-hander Clayton Blackburn whose pro debut made him look like one of the steals of the 2012 draft, as he allowed just six runs in 33 1/3 innings in the rookie-level Arizona League. Signed by Giants area scout (and former big leaguer) Dan Murray in the 16th round, Blackburn would touch 94-95 mph, sitting in the low 90s, with good feel for locating the pitch, and both his curveball and changeup project as above-average pitches.

hankschulman Baer also addresses Cain talks. Cain said he just wanted “fair value.” Baer, asked if there was common ground on fair value, said, “TBD.”

Baer also said ticket sales, sponsorships same as last year despite not winning. Said Gs have a shot to sell out entire season again. "

They need to use the same standard they used on Barry Bonds. (Before vs. After incident head (hat) size.
It was the head size that convicted Bonds in the blogisphere.
