Subject: Bud Selig is an idiot
http://espn.go.com/mlb/news/2002/1026/1451387.html
Check this out, he's upset becasue there is more than one subject in baseball being talked about! My Gawd! Baseball fans are known to be sports enthusiasts of a higher intelligence level than most, they should be able to process two seperate threads of baseball events.
I'm sorry but the world series may be important but it's not 24/7 thought processing. Bud, pull the bat out of your but butt and let the news roll.

The man is a moron. He will never butt out. He needs to get his name and face on the news.

No offense to anyone, but who really cares about the Mets anyway?
Subject: Re: Bud Selig is an idiot
Normally, I'd defend Selig on this. After all, why distract fans when the World Series is being played? But last year, seconds after the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees, Selig was announcing the contraction of the Minnesota Twins and the Montreal Expos. What a hypocrite.

Steve, do you really belive that this news would detract from the world series? I can process more than one train of thought at a time, hell if you have any responcible job or raising a family your required to 'multitask" Detract? No, give something more to talk about? Yes.

An argument can be made that announcing a managerial hire distracts, or at least steals headlines, from the World Series. The Commissioner is the one to deal with that. Although you've got to wonder why Selig didn't wait to make his announcement until after the Series was over.

I still think a weak argument, lots of headline space to go around, I live in Seattle so a Lou Pinella was HUGE news here, still plenty on the Giants and Angels. Bud is a dork! (when was the last time you'ver seen the workd "dork") Ha! ;D

I agree! (big shock coming from a Mariners girl, hunh? ;))
Nothing like forcing the series down the country's throats, Bud! Personally, I didn't care about the series--tell me who won when it's over and that's enough for me. I'm much more interested in what is going on with Lou, and I really don't think talk about things OTHER than the series was gonna hurt his darn ratings. Furthermore, why should he get to decide what we find important? I don't deny that the Series is a big deal for baseball fans. But I also think that baseball fans like to know what is going on in their teams. I don't think that people that care about the series will stop watching it because they heard something possibly more important to them personally.
I think that MLB walks a fine line anyway--they lost fans when they went on strike last time, and when it was threatened this year they were pushing it to lose even more. The last thing the sport needs is some jerk like Selig running the sport like a dictatorship.
Oops--I may've digressed just a touch--all in all, I'm with ya on this!! ;D

Well, heck kids, I'm the last guy to defend Mr. Contraction. How did he get to be commissioner, anyway?

Not sure, but I'm guessing it involved eye of newt and spider blood in a dark ritual of immense evil.
