Mr.
Bud Selig! Sir! If you are unable to hear a reporter's question, simply state calmly that you are unable to hear them. If you continue to cup your ear and go
NYAH?, bloggers such as myself
will continue to use these images of you!
As previously reported, the commissioner's newest idea is to amend baseball's home run record list so that
Hank Aaron is reinstated as the all-time leader. Aaron calls him dumb in today's Dugout, after the jump.
The Dugout

bud_is_wiser: Friend, have I got a proposition for you!
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: oh god no more arm wrestling
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: No, not this time. Doctor says no more arm wrestling. Last time we arm wrestled, you tore my ACL.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: How is that possible?
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: You are awesome, and I am dumb and brittle.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: yeah but how did you hurt you knee while
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: Hank, I want to put you on the top of the all-time home run list.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: ...what? I'm too old to do steroids, man. I haven't roided up since the fifties.
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: You used steroids?
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: Yep!
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: /stares blankly
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: /calls player's union, asks how the weather is where they are
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: /compulsively re-arranges items on desk
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: /dusts off hands
I have done all I can do. History will smile on my legacy.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: ahaha I didn't actually use steroids, I just wanted to see what your response would be
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: Oh.
/sheepishly returns paperweight to corner of desk
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: hahaha are you using your executive power as a paperweight
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: You're getting me off track. Hank, I'm not saying that you have to hit seven more home runs to pass Barry Bonds. I'm saying we re-write the list to put you back at #1.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: That doesn't make any sense.
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: Sure it does! Everyone knows that Bonds steroided his way to the top of the list.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: Yeah, but I mean, he did hit those home runs. It's historical fact. He hit a lot of them while using illegal substances, sure, but they're still home runs.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: If you change the order of the list, or remove people entirely, the list isn't a historical account. It's a viral Facebook list of your favorite baseball players.
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: Aw, I love Facebook quizzes!
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: Yeah, and that's because
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: because I'm dumb and brittle, I know
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: Look. If you want to acknowledge the influence of steroids on the all-time home run list, you could do so without re-writing history.
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: Here's a compromise. Just denote known PED users on the list with an asterisk.
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: agggghhhh
but I can't type an asterisk, the shift key and the 8 key are so far away
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: What are you talking about? Just use your other hand to hold down the shift key.
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: i can't, my other hand is firmly clenching the last crumbling shards of my legacy
can i just denote steroid users with bbbbbbbbbbbbb
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: All right, all right, it doesn't have to be an asterisk.
How about this: �
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: ...
what is this, Mario Kart
if I type that do i get to use the lightning bolt on barry bonds and make him normal size again
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: Come on, give it a shot. Just copy and paste. CTRL+V.
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: okay here goes
�
|
 |
hank_you_very_much: There you go!
|
|
**OnlineHost** The last crumbling shards of Bud Selig's legacy have fallen out of his hand and onto the carpet.
|
|
**OnlineHost** The shards sprout into a weed-like plant that bears poisonous maggots as fruit.
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: aw dammit, my carpet is ruined
|
 |
bud_is_wiser: i spent 18 million dollars on that f***ing carpet
