This Bud Is Skunked

Today's post is going to be short and sweet but I feel it is something that has to be said. BUD SELIG HAS TO GO!!! The last straw for me is the fact that games on Opening Day 2009 are being postponed due to bad weather and there is no reason why this should be happening. Opening Day for baseball fans is the equivalent of Christmas Day, and right now I got a lump of coal in my stocking.

Of course I am writing this because my beloved Red Sox did not get the opportunity to open the season on time due to the fact that they were scheduled to play in Boston on Opening Day. I don't know about you but I have been to Boston in early April, and that is neither the time nor the place to be playing baseball, and Mother Nature reminded us why with heavy rains and winds blanketing the Hub. What makes it even worse is that the Sox were playing Tampa Bay....TAMPA BAY!!! Not only do they play in Tampa, but they play in a dome. You find me a reason why they were playing in Boston. The same can be said for Chicago, where the White Sox and Royals didn't get just get rained out, they got snowed out!!!

Now I realize Bud Selig probably does not make the schedule, but his job entails overseeing all of Major League Baseball, which in my opinion should include schedule making. There is no reason to be playing games in Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia when you have teams in Florida, Arizona, Georgia, Texas and California, not to mention 4 other teams outside of those states that play in domes.

This Bud is not for baseball anymore.
