Marlins clearly innocent of PEDs

MLB players had their reactions yesterday to Ryan Braun's 65-game suspension for his involvement in the biogenesis scandal, the most cited being Logan Morrison, who pointed to his team's horribleness as a sign of their clear consciences.

Of course, you know, if the argument is "We're a bad team, therefore there's no PEDs here"… Ryan Braun plays for the Brewers, so…

But nothing beats the reactions of baseball's writers, who, when Braun is ready, have laid out exactly who Braun should apologize to (and/or not apologize to), and really everything he should be doing now that the sanctity of the game has prevailed.

And now, MLB is just one A-Rod away from having no more problems.
