TBobFirst let me say you have to feel a twinge of sympathy for someone as clueless as Selig having this happen to him in Milwaukee, his home city and whose hometwon Brewers are owned by his daughter (NAH, NO CONFLICT THERE!!!!!!)
That being said, Selig relied on Torre and Brenly to provide reasons and excuses to justify the horrible decision. I love baseball but major league baseball is getting exactly what it deserves. The greedy owners and players have no idea how much THE GAME means to the fans and continue to let the ineffectual and incompetent Bud Selig fiddle while Rome burns. A strike is on the way. The owners believe a work stoppage would be a good thing and the players could care less about the fans and believe they need to be excluded from steroid testing and that they can make as much as they want, even if it bankrupts the game (no cap). You can't have it both ways-either we have a parity driven league similar to the NFL with salary caps or we apply the good old American way and let the ones with the most money buy the best players.
I hope that every time the Twins win they peel off a small part of a cover on a naked Bud Selig blow up photo just like in Major League the movie.
I've got your contraction....
The bottom line from last night is that all those frigging relief pitchers don't need to be on the roster. 7 in the AL?????? I thought it was so ironic that one of the honorees last night was Jack Morris who would have pitched his arm off and gone 6 or 7 innings to win the game, ditto Warren Spahn. You don't want to ruin a pitcher but my God Every Day Eddie goes 2/3 of an inning, Zito throws 6 pitches??? Now Selig proposes adding an extra 4 or 5 pitchers to each roster so this won't happen again. Fine. 5 more relief pitchers who will only go 1/3 or 2/3 of an inning. Let's home the game doesn't go the 13th or 14th.
How sweet for all Twins fans to hear the boos raining down on the hopelessly incompetent one in his own stadium last night. Contract this...
