Bond Hits #755; Selig S#@%$'s Himself

Posted by Daily D Sunday, August 5, 2007



Last night Bonds hit #755, but Bud Selig wonders why everyone is standing. Is it the 7th inning stretch? I absolutely can't get enough of his awkward reaction. I love the way he is looking around thinking "if I don't acknowledge that it happened, maybe no one will notice".

Selig, who turned down an interview on ESPN last night, might be the lamest executive in the world. Give David Stern credit for standing up and answering questions about the betting scandal. Give Roger Goodell credit for punishing the NFL's criminals. Give Gary Bettman... wait, don't give Gary Bettman any credit.

But, nor should you to Selig either. Selig's only contribution to the game was turning his back on steroids in the nineties so that home runs could help bring the game back to its rightful place in society. He is an awful decision maker - see the tied all-star game. He is hideously ignorant of baseball's history and nostalgia, routinely mispronouncing names during ceremonies. He is also unkempt and standoffish in almost every situation, and has handled the Bonds fiasco in the worst way possible by bringing more attention to its legitimacy. His reaction to the home run sums it up. He looks like a criminal that is just about to face the family of his victim- not exactly the kind of confidence and leadership you look for from the commissioner.
