Brought to you by David Wells. It seems the Boston left hander doesn't like Bud Selig:

"And he's entitled to that [opinion]. He pays a lot of money to these guys," Wells said. "If he needs to apologize to the fans, so be it. They get a lot of traffic down there in Tampa to see the Yankees. People want to see Derek Jeter. So if he wants to post a sign that says I apologize for [him] not being here, he owns the place. If Bud has a problem with it, tell him to go take it down himself. And then I'd re-post it again."

"This is just something where Bud is bored. He has no clue. He's clueless," Wells said. "If you say something derogatory toward Bud, he wants an apology. My question is, why is he even wasting his time on something like that? What's the purpose? Does he have to let people know that he's there? Tell him to come talk to me. I've had issues with him the last few years. He said, 'Oh, we need to talk.' He said, 'I'll take you to dinner when I come to Boston.' Has he done it? [Heck] no. He's a piece of [expletive]. And you can quote me on that."

Since Wells wasn't traded, maybe he's trying to get Selig to suspend him. Calling an umpire a piece of [expletive] gets you thrown out of a game. What does saying it about the commissioner get you?

"What does saying it about the commissioner get you?"

A round of applause? A pat on the back? A high five? Ownership of the Nationals?

I agree he shouldn't have used the expletive, but the
other things Wells says about Alan (Bud) are just true, simple facts.

Maybe Wells will become a baseball announcer when he retires. We would certainly enjoy his candor.

Wells said he will meet Bud at any diner anytime.

I'm sure there are better ways to get a free meal. Isn't the post-game spread enough? Yeesh.
