  1. What's considered "fast acting"? The guy had it from Friday afternoon to Monday afternoon. Then it probably doesn't get to the lab unti Tuesday and I'm guessing they don't test it the same day they get it. Is 4 or 5 days considered "fast acting"? Its fast acting in the nature that it doesnt stay in your system long. Heres Conte's prior comment on it Were you surprised that Ryan Braun tested positive?: "No, I was not surprised. In fact, three weeks before that, I was in Vietnam and I was interviewed by somebody from the New York Daily News. It was when the growth hormone testing was being introduced. And I don't think growth hormone is effective as a performance enhancer. At that time, I basically said that what they're doing is using fast-acting testosterone - creams, gels, orals, patches - and they clear so quickly, sometimes in a matter of hours. … They could conceivably, after a game, use testosterone to help with tissue repair and healing and recovery and by the time they'd show up at the park the next day, their PE (progesterone/estradiol) ratio would be normal. I always knew there was this giant loophole that you could drive a Mack truck through." Also, I would guess if a player took a PED one day and peed in a cup the next day it would show up. Isn't "fast acting" really referring to the affects on the person taking the PED not how quickly it enters his system (which I think would be almost immediate). If you inject somthing directly into a sample of urine, I would assume it would show in test.
  2. The didnt throw him under the bus because it is not uncommon for those tests not to go directly to FedEx. The fact that Bud Selig is going after the Brewers this hard most likely tells alot about this story. Dissapointing but true.
  3. I am as big a fan of Ryan Braun that there is. And just as big of a Brewers fan, but I am dissapointed in what came out of the press conference this afternoon. He is basically saying that the sample was tampered with by the admisitrator and I just dont believe that happened. I hate to say it but theat guy from Balco that was interviewed early on and spoke about fast acting steroids might have been right on, considering that the level of testosterone is high but not unthinkable according to those in the know.
  4. im thinking its the camera bay as I am in row 3, just wondering how bad it is
  5. Got tickets in section 329 Row 3. They say obstructed. any clue what the obstruction is in this section. Ive had obstructed before in the club level and never had a problem
  6. got tickets
  7. Got 7 back saying I wasnt selected for O.D.
  8. anyone have insider to let me know which lee it may be?
  9. In regards to Braun not showing, I firmly believe he is not skirting the issue. Its just a hard issue to deal with since the outcome is not determined. I truly believe that id a guilty verdict did come down before Sunday that he would have been there to start his "return to prominence" PR campaign. In the end I feel confident in saying that Braun will own this one way or another and he will be very fan friendly, which is hard for a guy who is already so generous to the fans. just my 2 cents
  10. I think will signs thru the mail as well
  11. He will be in GB tomorrow at Stadium View https://www.facebook.com/stadiumviewbar?ref=ts#!/photo.php?fbid=10150455677305653&set=t.843655463&type=1&theater
  12. What do you all suppose Brauns status will be for On Deck amid allegations?
  13. heres the link from the forum http://forum.brewerfan.net/search.php?keywords=765505/TTM---mail-Autographed-Cards-Trade--info#reply-765505 Otherwise a membership to sportscollectors.net is the way to go. It cost $15 but you will save money on lost postage and cards by using that site
  14. Decided to make the trip from Appleton tomorrow hopefully I am rewarded
  15. It looked to me that the players will be signing in shifts and you wont know whos graph you get until you are in the front of the line?
  16. Looking for the one that they gave away this year in an epic clusterf#%k. Shoot a price if you have one you want to sell.
  17. I dont know PrinceEatMeat but lets be realistic here. I think as a whole this board is populated by people who are well beyond generous and my guess is that any tickets purchased on here are gonna come at a very fair price. Cut the dude some slack when realistically he could have just went to stubhub, ebay or wherever else before letting a bfan.net user have a chance at em. My 2 cents
  18. Got a confirmation email to buy tickets Tuesday for the nlds
  19. During ST I sent to maryvale and got marcum axford and wolf. If you like collecting graphs invest 15 bucks and join sports collectors.net. Cool site that really helps in getting graphs thru the mail
  20. I sent earlier in the year and he signed really big. I'll post the pics later
  21. Got my si back today from plush personalized which I actually thought was cool. He signed it super small though anyone else have the same issue?
  22. I dissagree, I love the big graphics. I think the poster is right about the readability on the Plush shirt and adding I gotta go on the back. If you put these at a nice price point and do it on a decent quality t-shirt I would be in for 2 XL's. Keep us updated
