so i'm not the first person to say this, but i think baseball commissioner bud selig should be fired immediately: he doesn't know the name of the team that won the world series (the angels), he tried to contract one of the more succesful teams in recent years (the twins), he won't bring a team to d.c., one of the biggest and wealthiest markets in the country, and he is a real jackass. i don't know if anybody saw the 7th game of the world series besides me, all 11 anaheim angels fans in the world, and san franciscans, but i think he acted like a fool during the postgame awards ceremony. when he was introduced, everyone in the crowd started booing, which i liked, and the entire time he was on stage he was scowling. he didn't smile at all, which is odd considering the world series is a pretty happy occassion watched by more people than any other baseball game, then snatched the microphone from whoever was talking. when he talked about the game and how the angels did well and such, he said something along the lines of "the calif, anahiem angels deserve this." the anahiem angels were called the california angels before 1996. it seems to me that the commissioner of baseball should know that a team in his league changed its name 6 years ago. he had notes up there, he was looking down at then while speaking, and he still got it wrong. maybe he didn't think the angels were going to win, and had only written a speech to present the trophy to the new york giants.
