You Must Be on Crack: Bud Selig

The Candidate: Bud Selig, Commissioner of Baseball

The Case: After months and months of lingering and avoiding all questions regarding Barry Bonds Bud Selig has attended the past 8 San Francisco Giant games awaiting the record. This was probably the right move on Selig's part, but here's the problem; Selig decided to compare his attending baseball games to a "Herculean Effort". Here's his exact quote:

"I don't think there's anybody that can say I haven't made a Herculean effort, In fact, I've been having a lot of people who are stunned that I'm still at it."

The Verdict: Mr. Commissioner you sir are on crack. You are the commissioner of major league baseball, I'm pretty damn sure one of the jobs you have is to attend baseball games. So A) showing up to games is part of your job. B) You are attending baseball games. What the hell is difficult about that? You wake up, you do your work from a hotel room, or maybe even one of the home team's offices, than at 7 o'clock you sit in a luxury box. Oh wow Bud that sounds so difficult. And then every 3 days or so you need to travel to a new city. Hmm, sounds kind of like exactly what every baseball player does. Substituting practice and workout session with whatever you as the commissioner do during the day. So Bud I think it's best that you don't make any dumb ass comments like this anymore, you are just insulting yourself and making yourself look like a pansy.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
