I was glad for the outcome, the National League winning 3-1, their first victory since 1996, but why exactly was Alex Rodriguez, the home run leader among active players, in the American League dugout and not at the plate in the bottom of the ninth?
And why do they need all those players (each team had 34)?
Bud Selig says he will retire as baseball commissioner for sure in 2012. There’s already been a couple of Brett Favreian reversals, so no one takes him seriously, but he says he means it this time. He’ll retire for certain unless baseball has some sort of emergency.
If there’s an emergency wouldn’t it likely be his doing in the first place?
Why Gerardi didn’t pinch run the tool, oh I mean ARod for Ortiz is a mystery to me too.
But no matter, the NL won! ARod sat! And the only Giant to get into the game didn’t embarrass us! (poor Atlee will never live that down)
To me, that’s a great night!
As for Bud, if they could jettison him along with Buck and McCarver, 2012 would be a damn fine year.
