Twitter and BF.net being refreshed at light speed...

I've been told through a fairly reliable source that he will be exonerated! Still awaiting the official announcement though.

 

 

That source wasn't me was it? If so, please give me credit.

[brwrsfan]

This is absolutely killing me right now. I was anxious the last few days, now the minutes are just dragging. Can he really be exonerated of this?

[Oldcity]

So that's 2 people saying their sources say exonerated, one person whose reliable source says upheld.

No, not you, homer.

 

Can't refresh BF/Twitter fast enough...

JUST TELL US ALREADY!!! ARGH!!!

I wouldn't get your hopes up despite what I say.

Ugghhh...don't toy with our emotions like that! Maybe your source is right, but it will just give me more hope and make me more upset if it turns out that he gets suspended.

My source is telling me he will either be suspended or exonerated.

[KCBrewerfan34]

Like I said, if it is announced today - suspension, tomorrow, no suspension.

 

 

Although.....everyone has said that as SOON as MLB finds out, they would announce it, ASAP, per the rules, no frills, just business.

 

With all of this hulabaloo the past 24-36 hours, it does seem like this is being "planned" and withheld longer than it needs to be...that is fishy. Why would MLB wait to announce it JUST before he reports, almost in a screw you sort of way to put a damper on him in camp?? Seems odd that MLB would hold it.

 

I doubt with Selig at the helm MLB would do anything to stick it to the Brewers, c'mon man

My sources are saying something similar. I have contacted ESPN to let them know.

fox6now.com was talking about Ravech's tweets, but was also saying that Braun was supposed to arrive at camp this afternoon, not tomorrow. Maybe they are announcing it right when he gets there.

Journalists should have to get a license like a doctor or engineer and if they report stuff that turns out to be false they should get the license revoked. That would stop all of this constant "source" crap that is just invented because they don't have enough stuff to write about. If people don't want to get the license (like internet speculators and everyone from ESPN) that is fine but then the public will know to never trust anything they say or treat it more as gossip than a legit story

I've double checked my source and he says he's positive that he'll be exonerated. Believe me, I've told as many people as possible. I'll look like a fool if I'm wrong.

If Braun is reporting to camp tomorrow, it would make sense that he would get to Arizona today, just to be on the safe side....

Is it Tom Pippins saying this. If so, I would take it with a grain of salt.

[crewcrazy]

I split the Braun topic at the point where the decision was announced, just so it's easier for us to find the start of that discussion and differentiate it from the pre-decision stuff. Use the new topic for all post-exoneration thoughts.
