Baseball is definitely our nation’s pastime and is certainly past its prime. According to various sources including the Bleacher Report, Bud Selig is getting good money for being the commissioner of baseball. Naturally, being commissioner would afford you many good benefits including a decent pay.
However as we know now, that pay is “a bit absurd” to say the very least. As Bud is having a dog-gone good time, baseball’s viewership has plummeted and its image languishes in shambles. Remember, this is the same Bud Selig that has owned (indirectly) the inept Milwaukee Brewers up until recently. This is also the same Bud that doesn’t seem to have a clue how to handle the illicit drug use by baseball’s “all-star” players such as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and now newly discovered Alex Rodriguez.
Your best players are all dopers.
What an image! What an image indeed. All-star pill pushers!
Talk about a lost of credibility and sound management. That reminds me of the Detroit Lions but ten times worse. It is time for baseball to remove Bud Selig and replace him with someone else. Though football has some quirks and kinks (a.k.a. referees), they sure run a tight ship in terms of their image, earning ever more money and gaining even more viewership. Roger Godell doesn’t get paid as much as Bud, yet the NFL thrives. The NFL is “the” model in sports entertainment that others should emulate. Maybe babseball can get an executive from the NFL to put baseball back into some “positive” limelight.
It is time for the commissioner to go! Your image is already in the dirt. It is nonsense to beat up a dead horse even more. You must go now to save your sanity. Oops, maybe that has been lost already.
Since we’re also on the subject of illegal steroid use, it is funny that A-Rod was caught with a positive steroid test. We all know that he was a headcase and a self-serving drama queen, but now steroids too? I guess his “roid rage” presented and manifested itself through his drama queen-like state. I guess all those good stats and the 2003 MVP title were due to positive results and, boy were those results “positive.”
What a sad state of current affairs for baseball. Positively inept indeed.
