Baseball DIY

Slate.com has a positively Fox News-esque review of the Selig administration. Among the many points I found fault with:

Selig's "admirable handling of baseball's steroids crisis": Admirable? It's been a problem for at least a decade, we're just now starting to get some kind of a handle on it, Bud looked as helpless as my grandma with a remote control at the Congressional hearings, and he's handled the situation "admirably"?

Selig's implementation of "interleague play and an expanded playoff system...pleased the fans": I, for one, was obviously excluded from participating in this poll, which probably consisted of voters whose names started with "S" and ended with "elig."

Under Selig's rule, "the sport cleverly centralized www.mlb.com, turning it into the country's greatest tool of workplace procrastination": ESPN.com's baseball page provides more information in less time. Baseballthinkfactory.org, baseball-reference.com, and, heck, even a few independent baseball sites are much more fun than the "official" source of MLB news and info.
