Selig is making a mockery of the rule book used for more than a century, in my opinion. The tug of war between the union and ownership is the primary concern for him. The game is getting lost.

This was not a good week for Bank of America (brother can you spare $34 billion?); Manny Ramirez (fertility drugs? Who does he think he is -- Octomom?); Miss California USA Carrie Prejean (not just leaked topless pics, but leaked pre-implant topless pics!); Jack McCollough's nose (ground zero for Kiefer Sutherland's head); and John Edwards (Rielle wants a paternity test, the Feds are investigating his campaign spending, and Elizabeth isn't sure she still loves him). This week also brought us the Hannity-fueled Condiment-gate (the lamest political food fight since freedom fries), and Pat Robertson claiming that legalizing gay marriage will lead to the sanctioning of bestiality, child molestation, and pedophilia. Enjoyed with a spicy French mustard, no doubt. At least things end on an upbeat note: a very happy Mother's Day to all my fellow HuffPost moms. And happy birthday to HuffPost, which turned four years old yesterday!
