Fuck You Bud

[Bench]

Oh, once you explain it that way I can see how moving the Astros to the AL was the only thing to do.

The original article is behind the Chron's paywall, so I linked astroscounty's excellent rebuttal.

Some choice Bud comments:

Selig said the primary reason for the Astros' AL relocation came down to simple geography. With St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central, the Astros were the odd team out. According to the commissioner, the Cardinals, Cubs, Brewers and Reds have "tremendous" rivalries. The Astros did not, he said, because of their isolation....The teams left in the National League Central all had a geographical (base) - there was a relationship.

Houston was sitting down there; there was no relationship.

Milwaukee? Really? A rival for anyone in the NL Central? Wow, the man is delusional.

Is there still a law against punching Bug Selig in the balls?

He can take his sympathies and shove them up his better-looking-than-his-face ass. Like they said, he should have just shut up.

By "rivalry" he meant "more Cubs fans came up to watch games here so I made more money that way."

I thought FTC fans went to Milwaukee to watch the Astros play home games?!?

50 years in the NL as opposed to, what, 14 for your POS franchise?

It should have been Colorado or Arizona.  You are a corrupt scumbag.

Yes. Only punting with a three step approach is permitted.

FYB's handling of this has not lowered my esteem of him simply because he would have to climb 40 notches just to reach a frat house couch vomit/pee stain.

i concur with the title of the post

Selig is the only person who needs to just shut the fuck up more than Jim Crane.

When he does die, they better bury him in an unmarked grave or else the groundskeeper at the cemetery is gonna have a lot to clean up, you know, from all the people who will be stopping by to shit and piss on it.
