- Bill Plunkett of the OC Register shared on Sulia some strong words from Skip Schumaker to Ryan Braun.
"I can't stand it. It (PED use) needs to be eliminated from the game. I have an autographed Ryan Braun jersey hanging in my baseball room at home that I'll be taking down now because I don't want my son connecting this with what I had to do to get to to where I am and to have what I have."
Braun's 65-game negotiated suspension is not enough for Schumaker.
"In my opinion, it should be an automatic lifetime ban," he said. "One strike -- you're out. ... It's ridiculous. They're still doing it?"
- Check out this great "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" Jib Jab video featuring some Dodger players.
- Why the r/Dodger Reddit is the best. They just replaced the downvote button with a pic of Ryan Braun. See it on the left. Barry Bonds had formerly occupied this space.
- Matt Novak at Paleofuture tells us of "Sci-Fi Legend Arthur C. Clarke's 1986 Predictions for Future Baseball" that includes a future scouting report on the 2019 Dodgers.
- Via Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times, "Matt Kemp 'disappointed' in Ryan Braun; doesn't want his MVP award".
“I’m disappointed,” Kemp said. “I don’t like to get lied to. I don’t think anybody likes to get lied to. I think a lot of other people feel the same way. I’m not the only one in that boat. I’m just another one of those guys on the list that are disappointed in what has come about in the last couple days.”
- Then, Kemp says the same afternoon that Braun should lose the MVP award, via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com.
"Do I feel like it should be stripped? I mean, yeah, I do," Kemp said. "I feel like it should be, but that's not for me to decide, you know? That's not for me to decide."
- Via John Aravosis at AmericaBlog, "A wonderful tribute to a dying sports fan".
From what I can glean from YouTube, Marck Bakker, aka Red Mark, was treated to a tribute at a soccer game in the Netherlands. Mark was terminally ill, and died three days after the tribute.
