There are many illogical things in this world that perplex me. But there are few that get my blood boiling like the continued reign of Bud Selig as Major League Baseball commissioner, a fact that only illustrates how much I care about the game. Bud deserved to be ousted for his role in the aborted contraction of the Twins, an episode that in my mind risked harming the integrity of the game as much as any gambling or drug scandal. The whole Giambi saga is just absurd. Giambi said baseball should apologize for the steroid scandal, and now he's being threatened with suspension. Giambi may not be a bright guy, but at least he's honest. Which is more than I can say for Bud, the owners, and a whole bunch of players that haven't been named. And all Bud can say to any reporter who questions him about the steroid scandal is "No comment." Bud is truly the biggest embarrassment to the game (okay, Barry is also in the running for the title) I say, can the bum!
