I'll Believe it When I See It

Bud Selig announced he's retiring at the end of his current contract. Bud has a way of hanging around, although this is more definitive than last time:

And it looks like I'll be resetting my countdown clock:


Q: Are you considering retirement after the next CBA?

A: My response to a question was are you still having fun and I said I'm not sure I'd use "fun" to describe what I'm doing. But it's very challenging. I've done this all my adult life and my contact's up at the end of 2006, at which time I'll be 71 years old. I've said to a lot of people, "I promise you now we'll talk about it in the next year." And I'm open to staying but we'll see what happens. So I have two and a half years - longer than that, maybe.

This is part of Selig brilliance, his contract is never-ending

A reverse reserve clause?
(say it five times fast)

"The commissioner did not foresee the American League giving up the designated hitter and ruled out expansion in the near future."

Did you catch this little phrase in the ESPN.com write up?

I am a tiny bit confused

It's bad writing from espn. If you read it as "The commisioner does not foresee the American League giving up the DH", it makes a lot more sense.

I figured, I cannot stand that place anymore.

For a brief,chilling second I thought the MLB was getting rid of the DH
