Where's Mark A in all of this? If I'm him, I'm pulling Doug and Braun in a room, sit them down and the first words out of my mouth are "This ends NOW. No more quotes in the media. It gets handled in house." If Braun feels the way he feels, fine. He's entitled to it, but be a professional. Handle it behind the scenes, behind closed doors. When you go to the media, you will get a reputation of being a whiny crybaby. Get your butt in the batting cages, do extra work in the field, and take the attitude of, "if we can't win with pitching, then we've got to win with hitting". Rally the other players on the team, get on them and fire them up to do their job. In essence, oh, BE A LEADER. And to DM, how childish do you look in replying in the media? That was the dumbest thing to do. Say those things behind closed doors. Both look absolutely stupid in my opinion.
