Dear Ryan Braun...
I defended you. When the accusations poured in, I said I would wait for the courts to decide. When they decided in your favour and believed your story, I thought things would be alright. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
You lied to them, your fans, your critics, the Milwaukee Brewers, the baseball world, and to me. Your sentence should begin at the start of the 2014 season, when the punishment will be a chorus of boos that follow you wherever you go.
May God have mercy on your soul.

Trade Deadline Day: Are We Safe Now?
I'm sorry I disappeared from this blog for so long. I have a genuine baseball-themed reason for that, which will be the subject of an upcoming post soon enough.
Since the end of the All-Star Break, the Cincinnati Reds are on a tear closing down, if not beating, the Pittsburgh Pirates for the lead in the National League Central (Carpet) Division. The player with a huge hand in the Reds' Resurgence is the National League's newest co-player of the week Drew Stubbs (Wait, what?). Consider what Stubbs accomplished in his last ten games, including the opener in their series at home against the Padres: Twelve hits, four homeruns, eleven RBIs, eleven runs scored, and a 300 BA. What is more perplexing to me is the title of "Co-Player of the Week" for Cincinnati's clutch outfielder. Who made this indecisive move, Bud? -_- (head shake) Crown the man, and stand on the decision! Indecision removes the luster from a worthy title such as that, otherwise it's not too far off of "Everybody Gets A Trophy Day" where every game ends in a tie, and everything you do in the context of the game is meaningless.
They Call Him Mr. Stubbs

| Former Mariners great Ichiro Suzuki addresses the media following his surprise trade to the New York Yankees |
Ichiro to the Yankees
Most Twitter folk missed this one LOL, but the Yankees' psuedo farm team sends another of its stars to New York for minor leaguers and loads of cash only the Yankees could provide. Ever so humble and polite, Ichiro Suzuki was solemn yet respectful to the Mariners and Yankees for making this deal.Dempster Deep in the Heart of Texas
At the death, the Chicago Cubs traded one of its popular faces to Texas: Canadian Ryan Dempster will pitch for the Rangers for the remainder of the 2012 season. One can assume Cubs general manager Theo Epstein will spare no expense in making the team in his image; proof that no one is safe!Notable Changes
Former Marlins and Phillies stars respectively Hanley Ramirez and Shane Victorino are now officially members of the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles. What?
