Bud Selig Is A Crime Boss

Gambino… Genovese… Selig? What? I was shocked too. How could a complete dolt, a simpleton, a coward, find himself amidst the names of some of the most notorious figures of all time? Alas, it is true. Perhaps you have not heard or just had not paid much attention to the story. As well the mainstream media surely gave Allen Huber Selig Jr. a pass on this one. In fact they gave him a pass on more than just one occasion, but I assure you Mr. Selig is a criminal avoiding justice. As the old saying goes money talks…!

In 2002 the minority owners of the then Montreal Expos filed RICO charges against Mr. Selig and Jeffrey Loria. MLB could have been found liable for up to $300 million. Mysteriously, the case was sent to arbitration and eventually settled for an undisclosed amount. This is what happens when rich white men take large sums of money from one another. Lawyers get involved and as long as everyone gets their money all parties agree no one has to serve any jail time. This in itself is a crime as far as I am concerned. Especially when all this is going on behind closed doors at the expense of the hard working people who inexplicably sit idly by and continue to support this man and his sport.

Mr. Selig has also been part of a very hush hush collusion scandal that has been going on in recent years. On at least four seperate occasions since 2002 Bud Selig and the Owners of MLB have been have been cited for collusion ranging from money owed from revenue sharing to contracts including players such as Barry Bonds and Alex Rodriguez.

The latest scandal is that of banned trainer Angel Presinal. Who somehow avoided notoriety in 2001 after being banned from baseball for having been caught with steroids and syringes. Obviously his ties to baseball were strong and still are the even after having been caught Bud Selig never exposed him nor made it evident to any player to refrain from contact with this man. Presinal was also allowed to work with players in the 2006 World Baseball Classic; a Selig creation.

You be the judge but clearly Selig’s hands are dirty and it is only a matter of time before a young hot shot Federal investigator gets wise and takes him down. Elliot Ness where are you now?

Manny Manny Manny

Where for art thou Manny? HA! Well, I thought for sure they would have done it. I thought for sure Manny would be a Yankee by now. At one time I could not stand him. Now I find myself wondering why I am upset I could not wish my fellow Yankee fans a “Manny Christmas”. Offensive, is it not?

Well, Manny sure brings plenty of offense. How this guy could be so productive at the plate and not yield a contract in New York by now is beyond me. Yankees, Mets, even the Braves or Orioles I thought would make a run or have a shot. Now that the market has fallen out from beneath him Manny is looking at playing somewhere for far less money than he could have imagined or playing for a team that will give him his money but that he does not want to play for.

Good luck San Francisco. You deserve him! Maybe you can “inject” him into your line-up the same way you did Barry Bonds.

What do you think? Do you want Manny on your team?
