SELIG-BASHING FOR THE DAY: "As an owner (don't forget, he's still an owner) for more than three decades and the commissioner for seemingly forever, Bud Selig's done far more to hurt the game than he's done to help it. We're often told that Commissioner Bud loves baseball, and I believe that he does. Unfortunately, his love or baseball ranks somewhere behind 1) his love of profit, 2) his desire to leave a legacy as an activist commissioner, 3) his love of his fellow owners. Plus, he's delusional. In Commissioner Bud's Fantasy World, everything he's ever done has worked out perfectly, which means of course that anything he wants to do will work out perfectly, too.
But it won't. Selig's a dangerous man, and the sooner we're rid of him, the better." -Rob Neyer, ESPN.com. If the Internet could successfully bring down that other despotic ruler of a great American institution, Howell Raines, then why not Selig too? Come on people, organize!
Re: White Sox Vs. Angels 2005 ALC
To the commissioner of baseball,Bud Selig:
If you or this game had any integrity at all, you would have called the game, overruled those idiot, shit-for-brains umpires and made them replay at the start of the 10th inning.
You need instant replay you moron and you need umpires who can make the right calls.
If that ball had hit the dirt, then where was the divot and where was the dirt splash? Was there any dirt on the ball itself?
Going back to the 1991 season where the baseball prima-donnas went on strike for more money, this game has taken a heavy dive in popularity.
After last night's call, I liken the game of baseball to WWF World Federation of Wrestling - it's all rigged!
