1. Walks Clog Up the Bases Posted: March 17, 2012 at 03:47 PM (#4083181)“I’m not going to get into the details, but if you knew what we knew, people would be like, ‘Wow,’ ” Lucroy said, adding that he understood why Braun has elaborated only in private. “You’ve got to do that because it’s his prerogative. It’s up to him, it’s his choice. And honestly, if some of the things came out, it would be a lot more negative than positive. There are reasons.”
So how many dead hookers does Ryan have in his closet, Lucroy?
Damn.
Ryan used to be Rene?
Lucroy is a 12-year old girl?
Oh, who am I kidding? Braun's supporters will keep on talking about vindication, just like the Andy Pettitte apologists.
Within minutes of the arbitrator's ruling, long before Braun or his supporters said a word, the Lupica's of the world were out with hundreds of "we all know he's really guilty" articles. Do we think that Braun and his agents, friends, etc simply should have let all that go?
So, yeah, who are you kidding?
He's sort of like a less doofusy Schmidt on New Girl--he's a tool, but he's our tool. Of course, I am a Brewers fan; I wouldn't be surprised if everyone else was on Bob Brenly's side.
or more obviously, more disturbing information about the collector.
He either posted on a blog that Nickelback has 6 decent songs or that Pearl Jam is unquestionably the best rock band of the last twenty years. Those are my guesses.
It's not really obvious why he'd have to keep that secret, unless it was a pack of slanderous lies that would expose him to a lawsuit if he ever spoke it publicly.
He's not MY tool. My tool does not have beady eyes.
You clearly have not spoken to a 12 year old girl in more than a decade.
If you think that is how a 12 year old girl sounds, then it's likely you haven't talked to one in 20 years either. Not saying I would be able to do a 12 year old impression either, but that sounds totally like a girl from the late 80's.
This is how 75% of white women born between 1980 and 2000 sound like if they are from the West Coast. I swear to god. It's been one of the real shocks of leaving the east coast, that people still actually talk like the 1980's "valley girl" caricature. It's not even just slowly dying out, but seemingly has become ingrained in the West Coast Way of being.
And guys? They are stoked to be alive, like totally stoked.
I never once in my life have met someone who sounds like a stereotypical "Valley girl".
No. It's not, I'm not sure what part of the West coast you were in but I was born in 83 and was pretty much surrounded by white classmates growing up and not a one talked like that. Also don't know guys who used stocked. I couple guys who used sweet a lot. California has pretty distinct talking patterns depending on the region. I swear folks from North Cal swear a lot of us in San Diego look at them funny when they talk. ( I mean whenever one of my suite-mates says "Holla at those boys" I do look at her like she nuts.)
What's the point of that? Braun already won.
If Braun's team hired an investigator that found the collector was up to his eyeballs in gambling debt, and once in a bar had drunkenly boasted he would be out of debt soon because he was being paid to ruin a players career, why should Braun speak about it publicly? So he can go to court and pay hundreds of thousands in legal fees to see if the investigators sources are willing to testify against the collector, and pay the collectors millions if they aren't?
Even if Braun had evidence that made him 99% sure the collector did something really bad, it would be moronic to publicly assert even well founded accusations against the collector.
If he gathered evidence that effect which was strong enough to present the arbiter, what is he afraid of? He's probably losing more in endorsements because of his tarnished reputation than it would cost him to prove those accusations in court (assuming that he had any actual evidence to back them up, which one would certainly hope exists if the arbiter rested his decision on them). By not saying it publicly, he's basically admitting that his accusations are baseless (and if his witnesses aren't willing to testify, then they are baseless).
Or, more likely, that his explanations has nothing to do with the collector at all, and are embarrassing in nature (ie: the herpes explanation).
Presenting evidence to an arbiter isn't libelous. We don't know if he even had to present it, all reports are the failure to anonymize the sample and the too trusting chain of custody all he needed.
And he's clearly stated his innocence, he doesn't have to prove it, nor does he have to endure a trial or need to care about endorsements when he's set for life. You can't establish either guilt or innocence from his behavior, , no matter how hard you tie yourselve in logical knots.
