Condensing the MLB season: Selig only sees green

With a series of rainouts and suspended games during the baseball season out of the blue Commissioner Bud Selig wants to cut out a few games to prevent a late postseason. Okay...yes the weather is cold in October yet when has it not and that's always been apart of Fall baseball. For Selig to quibble and proclaim the season is too long at 163 games with unnecessary prolonging shows he's all about the revenue. He argues that the 'networks' can't have their prime-time schedules interrupted anymore. Oh, what a pity for FOX! If the ratings are sky high with their asses raking it in then they want to air their usual crap re-runs. They're one of the most notable networks for running reality shows into the ground for 2-hour cycles then some random 5-year old movie nobody gives a flying *&$@ about anymore!

I don't see what the problem is with the set 163-game schedule. Heck, this year some teams didn't make-up 3-4 games due to rainouts. If a team needs to have double-headers then so be it. Players get paid extravagant salaries and have it made so finishing up with a few more games won't subdue them. It's the least they can do for the fans. For a season to be shortened such a measure will eliminate (potentially ruin) playoff aspirations with hot runs coming down to the final day. If this is the case, competitors such as the White Sox and Twins can kiss their chances goodbye! I do feel it's time for a new Baseball Commissioner as Selig only takes actions for his personal gain and to suit his cronies. He needs to take a freaking hike!

Why does everything have to boil down to money? This will never end in sports. Too many lame complaints and excuses are spewed by pansies who watch on the sidelines and take no real active part in the game itself. Plus forget about players getting injured, that will happen regardless of time frames. Using such a natural occurrence as a plea tactic to speed up a season still won't stop fans from buying tickets. Can't MLB and owners ever be content with the f---ing revenue piles they churn while the majority of the country is flat broke (especially after purchasing tickets)? That slimy, pompous jackass of a Commissioner that doesn't know to set good standards or how to manage baseball needs to be humbled for once by being given the boot. After he takes a minute to see the prices on ballpark souvenirs maybe he'll get the average fan's perspective.

"What! $24.99 for a Rawlings baseball...wait a minute this same one costs even more, $89.99 for a team pullover fleece?? You've got to be freaking kidding me!! Who in their right mind comes up with this baloney &%$# s***!! How outrageous! The hell if I'm ever going to buy crap here.

The big wigs in the front office aren't concerned, but the moment their team starts stinking up the field it's panic time. Oh, the market then won't be big enough for sellers to get a solid return on their investment. That's when old Selig and his greedy pals will be left with their thumbs up their asses, speechless. I think the baseball schedule needs to stay the same without too many grubby hands in the mix screwing up the game for the fans. Having those extra few games is the whole purpose behind the excitement and interest brimming from late season hot streaks. To take that away would be like kicking a wounded horse when it's already toppled to the ground.
