Selig extended

like americans and soccer?

or

like the Rays (left out the D part woohoo first time) won the WS kinda wont recognize it

Selig gets up and goes to the office, he is extended.

that Major League Baseball has gotten wrong of late.

Unless that "extenson" thing means he'll be hung by his toes until 2012...

With Selig at the helm for another 4 years, do you guys think that baseball could possibly introduce draft pick trading?  They already started broadcasting the baseball draft, which significantly increased the amount of time the draft takes.  This would, however, do away with the bottom half of the league getting 1st round draft pick protection, though.  Just a thought.

and baseball as I do with Congress and baseball...stay the fuck out of my national pastime.

Any reputable corporation would oust a CEO engaged in a similar scandal, yet this man gets a unanimous vote of confidence by its board of directors?  Of course, this is just another case of the owners protecting their own.  Keeping him in office is like having Nixon prosecuting Watergate.  Disgraceful.

If Selig had any integrity, or really, balls, then he would've resigned last month.  I'm amazed at the lack of outrage and how few people are calling for his head.  Oh, and Fehr should resign, too.  However, the players would never rise up against the man who has coddled them.  What they don't realize is that Fehr's coddling has damaged the game and its reputation.  Someone needs to come in and clean house.

steriods have ruined the game.  I beleive that there is an accountability problem with the leaders of MLB and MLBPA that needs to be addressed.

It's galling enough that Bud didn't assume the blame three years ago, five years ago, 10 years ago, 13 years ago. But in one of his defining moments in office, the day that shamed him permanently as the baseball boss who let steroids smear the sport forever, Selig had the audacity to take credit for what actually was his complicit role in allowing juicers to kick-start a dying industry. The same man who enabled the Steroids Era now is claiming he's a hero.

So why didn't he launch an investigation when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were playing Homerun  Derby in 1998? The answer, of course, is that power surges were bringing back fans and making money for the owners. And rather than order a steroids probe, it was much more convenient for Selig, as an agent of the owners, to turn his head.

Fehr faces a complicated task.. On one hand he must display a genuine desire to rectify the steroids and HGH problem in baseball. He must also accept responsibility for the detrimental consequences of the players association's longstanding unwillingness to commit to comprehensive drug testing.

was largely put in place for competitive balance purposes.  However, it was never mandated that the smaller markets owners - who receive the rev share dollars - were required to invest revenue sharing dollars back into payroll or scouting / player development.  The owners can essentially put that money back in their pockets.
