For the sheer reason that the commissioner of Major League Baseball, Allan "Bud" Selig, has yet again showed his ineptitude to the position. I know there are larger issues looming Washington D.C. currently, but Selig has lost me totally on his decision today.
Selig transmitted a memo that he would not be correcting the record book for Armando Galarraga's perfect game yesterday against the Indians. The memo did take notice that instant replay issue would be "reviewed" immediately. This side steps the issue, Selig's fingerprints are all over the thievery of Galarraga's Perfecto. For this reason, I believe legislators should go after MLB antitrust and remove Selig from power.
The man can't take a stand for what is right, the 2002 All Star Game in Milwaukee (Selig's Home Team) that ended in a 7-7 Tie, and he shrugged his shoulders and threw his hands up, whispering the words "what can you do?". He did the same today, and did nothing. Selig gets paid (some report up to 14) millions of dollars each year, and his lack of leadership has paid dividends yet again. He could of took the stress off the Referee Jim Joyce that blew the call, but he didn't. Selig left the Joyce to hang out and take the proverbial beating.
Guess what "Bud", you got it wrong. You should correct your error and then take early retirement outside of your 2012 schedule departure. You started as "acting" commissioner in1992 and as far as I can tell, you are still acting,
because you have no idea what the right type of leadership is required from your position.
And yes Bud, giving the All Star Game winner home field advantage in
the World Series is still a joke. You make NHL Commish Gary Bettman look great.
