A Sixteen Year Old Blogger Was the First to Have the Details on Ryan Braun’s Urine Sample … Ten Days Ago
Baseball February 24th. 2012, 1:55pm
Curt Hogg (@Curtknowsbest), a sixteen year old who writes on the Brewers blog Plushdamentals, was the first to have the story on Ryan Braun’s appeal and issues with chain of custody, and he had it all the way back on Valentine’s Day.
Here is what Hogg wrote ten days ago:
According to sources, the results were not immediately sent to Major League Baseball as they should have been. Instead, the test samples were brought back to the collector’s residence in Kenosha, Wisconsin. There they remained, refrigerated, overnight until they were mailed in the next morning. While it is not assured that there is sufficient information to show that the test was mishandled, it supports Braun’s case.
The source was someone who knew a former college teammate of Ryan Braun’s at the University of Miami.
Kids these days, I tell you. Get off my lawn.

Dude is sixteen. Cannot wait for his meltdown when that relationship ends.

Kenosha, WI? Isn’t that where Happy Days took place?

I called sports talk shows when I was 14 and now I sit on a sports radio empire. (part of that statement is true)

Literally from blogging from his parent’s basement.

well this little bit of news will certainly help me to jump to my own conclusions.

Kenosha, WI has the Brat Stop. It was like the 3rd or 4th to last place Buddy Holly ever played. Legendary cheese curds and cased meats there. Also some of the best beets and cabbage I’ve had. There, I complimented Wisconsin.
Oh, and cool story by a kid. He’s got more motivation than I did at 16.
February 24th, 2012 at 2:02 PM
He knew a guy who knew a guy that played on a team with Ryan Braun many years ago? I don’t find anything impressive about running this story, as there is no risk in being wrong.
February 24th, 2012 at 2:03 PM
I’m not so sure about motivation, but he’s definitely got more free time than I did at 16.
February 24th, 2012 at 2:03 PM
I think that’s the same dude who broke the Izzo to the Cleveland Cavs story.

Is it the sitting on a ports radio empire part? I am imagining a very detailed model of ancient Rome with radio towers. Please tell me that is true and then explain why you are sitting on it

agree completely.

Weren’t you a wrestler, St. Bear? That shit takes up a ton of time. Lose weight. Gain weight. Lose weight. Gain weight. Get medicated for ring worm. Gain weight.

St. Bear was busy feeding homeless people with the fired ESPN guy.

At 16, blogging would have been the last thing that interested me on the internet. That I do know. But, yeah rather impressive by the youngen.

The last time a 16 year old from Milwaukee was on the cutting edge, Jeffrey Dahmer was wearing a bib and grabbing some A1 from the fridge.

I wish I were a 16 year old with all the details on Ryan Braun’s urine. Oh, the things I would do!

Brilliant, as always. Tremendously, tremendous.

What’s wrong with that?

That was so good I’m speechless.

sparty’s source!? first this little squirt has Chris Petersen to Missy State, and now this?
February 24th, 2012 at 2:25 PM
You’re growing up too fast, son.
16 is an important time in a man’s life where he can devote all his free energy trying to procure booze, weed, and trim.
February 24th, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Shut the internet down, it’s over. Quality stuff right here.

R. Kelly’s got a bitch on speed dial. Be up there in a minute.
February 24th, 2012 at 2:33 PM
Re: the test – Will Carrol said that Braun’s defense team was able to replicate the results (high T/E ratio) by following the same protocol as the original sample went through. So they didn’t just argue chain of custody.

I went on a nice little wiki black hole on serial killers a few weekends ago. That will kill a few hours — I’ll be here till 5:15 folks.

Tread carefully, my internet friend.

I didn’t read the roundup but did TBL miss the Lin ice cream story? Seems like that’s guaranteed to be a post.
February 24th, 2012 at 2:44 PM
I just went down memory lane. Doogie’s girlfriend Wanda was fat and apparently he had some zealous guido friend who wore sunglasses in the house. Do not recall that at all.
