Report: Suspensions likely in Biogenesis case

Reports leaked a few weeks ago that the “guilty” parties in the Biogenesis PED scandal would be receiving suspensions. These include household names like Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun, along with other solid plays such as Jhonny Peralta, Bartolo Colon, and Nelson Cruz. “Reports” (using the term loosely, and you’ll see why in a second) are now saying those suspensions are...

Raw Sewage in O.co Coliseum Showers Forces A’s, Mariners to Use Raiders’ Facilities

The O.co Coliseum is currently the fifth-oldest stadium in Major League Baseball, and the only venue left in the United States to host both baseball and the NFL (Rogers Centre in Toronto hosts both the Blue Jays and the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts). Commissioner Bud Selig created a commission to study the problems surrounding the Oakland A’s inability to get a new stadium, and help...

The O.co stadium is full of crap... literally

So, Bud Selig, about that whole Oakland A's moving to Santa Clara thing. Any chance we might be able to speed up the process? No rush or anything, but you might want to know that the O.co Coliseum, where the A's currently play, is flooded with raw sewage. That seems kind of relevant, no? Yes, it is apparently an ugly sight at O.co right now as both the A's and the...

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig Has a Really Long Brain Fart During the MLB Draft

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig had a little trouble telling time during the first round of the 2013 MLB Amateur Draft Thursday night. No, he didn't call PM AM or get his time zones confused. He got the year wrong, and not just by a little bit either. Bud didn't party like it was 1999, but he was close. No Bud, it isn't 2000 anymore; not for a long time. Had it...

Bud Selig Still Thinks It’s The Year 2000

Bud Selig and Major League Baseball have long been criticized for their reluctance to shift into the 21st Century and adapt emerging technologies. We now may have an explanation for that, as it appears pretty clear that Selig is still stuck in the year 2000. While calling out the draft picks for the 2013 MLB Player Draft on Thursday, Selig repeatedly kept saying “the 2000 first...

Bud Selig forgets what year it is, announces picks for "2000" player draft (Video)

On Thursday, MLB commissioner Bud Selig announced the selections for the 2013 player draft. However, for some reason Selig made the mistake of referring to some picks as selections for the "2000" first-year player draft, a mistake he made three times with the first eight picks. Selig did it the first time right off the bat with No. 1 pick Mark Appel of the Houston Astros...

NOT NIPPED IN THE BUD

Selig keeps calling 2013 MLB Draft ’2000′ draft

Old habits die hard. At least they do for Bud Selig. The MLB commissioner announced three of the first eight picks of the 2013 first-year player draft as the “2000″ draft. He even called it the 2000 first-year player draft for the first overall pick, which he had all year to rehearse. “With the first [...]

How should more MLB replay be used?

Oh, happy day! Bud Selig has seen the light and "evolved" his opinion on instant replay thanks in no small part to recent rash of inconceivably stupid blown calls that the likes of Angel Hernandez and Fieldin Culbreth have subjected us to in recent weeks. The end result is that the ol' used car salesman is might be ready to relent and allow the expanded use of instant...
