Decision coming by the end of the day. Expecting the worst.

@karlravechespn: Braun decision coming today. ... Every indication is 50 game suspension will stand.

So ESPN saying the suspension will stand, MLB Network thinking the suspension will be lifted.

In nearly three months, this saga has gone absolutely nowhere.

I audibly gasped when I saw the tweet. Coworker came in my office to see if I was in danger or something.

I gasped and did a fist pump in my office, but no one is close enough to hear/see it.

ESPN owes him a serious apology since this never should have leaked.

Absolutely.

Damn right ESPN does. There will always be speculation that Selig somehow stepped in or some other **** idea that he was really guilty.

It will be interesting to hear the whole story.

Rosenthal, Haudricourt and Heyman saying no suspension, but MLB is saying otherwise?

The AP made a typo on their initial story, he won his suspension, 2-1 on the panel. MLB and their rep voted against and are saying they disagree but it isn't their call.

MLB has put out a statement saying it "vehemently disagrees" with arbitrator's decision on Braun. That would be Shyam Das.

Oh man. This is crazy.

From the official MLB twitter
