Players union officially announces that Braun won appeal, saying parties agreed to announce it despite usually confidential process.

Thought TH's twitter got hacked or something because I saw the AP tweets and TH's link wasn't working at first. Yowza wowza!

[brwrsfan]

Before I go nuts and text everyone in my phone I need something more official than Tom H. Anybody finding anything?

Tom ‏ @Haudricourt

 

I've been told AP is reporting Braun lost his appeal. Believe me, Braun won.

[MissBrew]

And the wait pays off!

Rob Manfred at MLB and PLayers Union say no suspension.

[fondybrewfan]

So how can the AP say one thing and the union say another? Something obviously got mixed up here

[adamds22]

All the ESPN guys are tweeting that Braun won now too!!!!!

[brwrsfan]

Well this is just getting to be absolutely ridiculous. This would be one of the biggest letdowns of all time....

 

CBS has it as breaking news, but it's per the JS....UGH

Buster Olney needs to print a full retraction of his stupid MVP article.

[trwi7]

AP says they were wrong and Braun has won.

[Patrick425]

WTMJ is saying that it was a TYPO by AP and they are now reversing there previous story.

[Invader3K]

I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN YOU RYAN!!!

[prophet]

fox6news.com is also reporting that he will not serve a 50 game suspension. Who to believe. I already called my mom when I heard the good news. Please be true.

[brwrsfan]

I'm not on twitter, can anyone post this stuff for me? Please?

[topper09er]

This feels like a huge boost for the team, like we now get a 10 game lead in the division on opening day!

[Patrick425]

It sounds pretty official now. It has been overturned. WOW!

No suspension for Ryan Braun, who won appeal by a 2-1 margin. MLB releases statement saying it disagrees. Coverage at MLB.com.

[Invader3K]

It's all over Twitter now. Heyman just said he won!

MLB has to do that in order to save face. Otherwise it throws their whole testing system into question.

[fondybrewfan]

Now all the curious minds want to know what the hell happened. I wonder how much Braun is going to say?

[Warning Track Power]

MLB "vehemently disagrees" with the decision according to Knobler

[topper09er]

I dont think Ive ever wanted to watch sportscenter more than tonight. I bet this will be the 4-5 story and they spend the first 10 minutes talking about Linsanity

[adambr2]

There's no way that Tom H would put his entire reputation on the line if he didn't know for sure.
