PHILADELPHIA - Proof that major league baseball is
run by a bunch of buffoons came at midnight
when the suspended game notes were handed out. At the bottom of the sheet, the powers that be maybe thought it was cute or even pithy to include Koppett's ...

Generally I don't use anonymous quotes, unless it's
concerning something really big, like when a member of
the Phillies sees Bud Selig in the clubhouse following the Game 5 rain delay and utters the immortal line: "I wouldn't let him supervise one of ...

Daily "Linkin' Logs" Abject Failure Edition (10/28/08)
The Bad News Bloggers —
Could there be more of an abject failure at someone's job without any type of ramifications? Could any sport continue in success in spite of its incompetent commissioner (ah, Gary Bettman has ruined the NHL's success...and you thought he was the worst). As any major sporting league's leader ever singlehandedly ruined its all-star game, championship and integrity in one 15 year swoop? That answer is yes. And that man is Allen Huber "Bud" Selig. Now sports pundits have come out of Selig's side. Gene Wojciechowski says Bud got it right, no team should win on a rain out. John Kruk and Steve Phillps agreed. But finally Jayson Stark hit the ...
Game Five Suspended, Advantage Rays
The Big Lead —
Well, this discussion should be interesting: Did MLB commish Bud Selig further taint his stained legacy by suspending the first World Series game in baseball history?
One vote for yes (along with the laughable news that the World Series starts next year on October 27). Another vote for yes. And a vote for no! Here’s what everyone can agree on: “Baseball is unsalvageable.”

Another Black Eye for the Bud Selig Era
Bugs & Cranks —
The steroid era.
The cancellation of the 1994 World Series.
The All Star Game tie.
The Montreal Expos fiasco.
And now the this.
Bad hair Bud Selig received another ugly splotch on his already stained resume thanks to last night’s rain-interrupted Game 5, and if the Philadelphia Phillies should go on to lose the 2008 World Series due to the inexcusable events of last night, it’s a mark that no amount of time or convoluted press conferences will be able to wipe away.
Congratulations, Bud. You could be known as the first commissioner in MLB history to fuck up not one but two Fall Classics!
While some ...
