Alex Rodriguez, The All-Time Greatest Home Run Hitters, And The Death of Statistics
I've soured on Major League Baseball over the years and Alex Rodriguez hitting his 600th home run - at 35, the youngest player in major league baseball to achieve this feat - gave me cause to remember one of the reasons why when I looked at this list of all-time great home run hitters... Rank...
Bud Selig hates you. And you, and you, and definitely you.
In case you missed it, or have joined the millions of Americans who give news about our national pastime a quizzical look similar to bringing up the leg spinning prowess of Shane Warne in a bar, baseball spent the past week shitting all over its fans. In very public blown call, Armando...
This Week in Sports Entertainment History
Two weeks ago Tim Tebow was selected by Denver as the 25th overall pick in the NFL draft. It was a reach yes—at least he can sell shit—but it seems, at least to me, that this story was grossly overrun and over-hyped. Tebow as a topic tends to polarize people and generate ratings, although this...
Padres decide to approve Bud Selig as Commissioner later, via phone presumably
So it looks like John Moores just didn't want to be the only one leaving Arizona with his fate left up in the air as he has apparently now gone ahead and voted "yay" for letting Bud Selig remain Commissioner of Baseball. If you'll remember, the owners meetings were supposed to be a time for the...
Bud Selig To Determine Cubs, Red Sox Compensation For Theo Epstein
Rejoice, everyone, for the end is in sight! This isn't some pro-Mayan, end of days post, but instead word from on high that the Major League Baseball's commissioner's office will determine the compensation for the Red Sox following Theo Epstein's departure. Given how much attention hasn't been paid...
A Bridge Loan Too Far
I don't believe the news that the Mets have sought--and received--another loan from MLB should be all that shocking. But this, combined with the recent loss of Jose Reyes to the free spending Marlins (another team with dubious finances), set off many fans' You Gotta Be Effin' Kidding Me...
MLB's Bud Selig to Implement One-Inning Playoffs for 2012
NEW YORK - Citing his strong respect for the history of the game, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig announced today a bold new playoff plan for the 2012 post-season. The playoffs will begin with a series of one-inning matchups destined to produce the most exciting October in memory. "Fans have told us for...
Bud Selig Meets Bill Lumbergh
I expect the issue of the first responder caps will go away soon, if it hasn't already. I am totally okay with it going away, as I feel it detracts from the Mets' ceremonies on the 10th anniversary of 9/11, which I found generally well done and at times moving. And yet, the whole thing remains so...
Commissioner Selig Pitches 'Miracle Cure-All' to St. Louis Cardinals Fans
It had been a tough summer for the folks in St. Louis. Their beloved Hometown Nine had fought valiantly in the early parts of the season, overcoming injuries and ineffective relief pitchers, to be neck-and-neck with the Brewers of Milwaukee for first place in the division. But the early season...
2011 Happy Points Update #1
Ok, it's the All-Star break and that means that we get to endure the Bud Selig State Of Middle Earth, or some such other fantasy land far removed from reality. There in Bud's chat this week was more of the total fabrication concerning the relative parity and fair opportunity for all teams in Major...
