  Umpire Mike Winters was suspended for the rest of the season for his actions in the Milton Bradley incident. Obviously, MLB thought Winters crossed a line during his "Discussion" with Bradley. Still, only 3 games seems more like a mere slap on the wrist, considering Bradley will be undergoing surgery, then suffering through months of rehab for his trashed knee.What Winters did in baiting Bradley was comparable to some yahoo poking a sharp stick into the backside of a grizzly bear. Bradley reacted much like the bear would have, with extreme anger, and malice in mind. Since Bradley's reputation of his being a near-psychopath with a hair trigger temper precedes him, what other sort of reaction would you expect? Winters wanted a confrontation, and he sure as Hell got it.Winters is supposed to be a bastion of integrity when on the field, someone respected by the players. Turns out he's far from being respected, nor has a lick of integrity. Bud Selig had the opportunity to drop the hammer,
• A Letter To: Bud Selig

As HR # 755 sailed over the LF wall and the camera paned to you you stood there and dug your hands as deep as you possibly could into those pockets of yours while sporting your very best bitter beer face.

Did you really follow him around for 9 games just to stand there with your hands in your pockets like that? I'm not saying you should have screamed, jumped, or even smiled but a small congratulatory clap would have been most appropriate. You are the freaking commissioner! If you are going to show up then come and do more than just stand there and look visibly disgruntled. Accept this, that's what I (along with many other baseball fans) are trying to do. I'm ready to see him hit it. It is happening whether you like it or not so either go and

  For those of you who don’t know (and maybe don’t care), Selig is the commissioner of baseball. He’s been presiding over my favorite sport for many years, including the grand steroid era, when Barry Bonds hat-size grew and Mark McGwire’s arms took on the appearance of Popeye post-spinach. Home run records were obliterated. The fact that the players and NOT the ball that was juiced was the worst-kept secret in baseball. What did Bud do? Nothing. He proffered a tepid drug policy which captured the cannabis intake, but did little to curb the appetite for bigger and longer and deeper home runs. Of course attendance grew, and the summer of 98′ when both Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire hit prodigious home runs at an unheard of rate, Bud was front and center, shining like the gleaming used-car saleman that he was in his former life. But a few years ago when newspapers and baseball beat writers began to air their suspicion, and even the President mentioned the pr
