The Boss & His "Buddy"
By lefty
So, Boston fans – read this. You’re not alone in your sentiments towards “the Boss.” Justin Einerson from Milwaukee writes that there’s not a lot of love for Steinbrenner in the heartland either – or Buddy Selig, for that matter. Here’s what Justin thinks – any comments on this conspiracy theory?
"The Milwaukee Brewers... my first love and life-long obsession. Let me tell you, it's been a tough run, especially since they have not had a winning season since I started watching them in 1993. The reason is not because Milwaukee is a little big city or because the town is cheap and has a bad fanbase. We actually have a very healthy fanbase, almost fanatic. The reason is because we have an owner that doesn't want us to win just to prove that he is a good commissioner. This commissioner is named Bud Selig, a.k.a. "Steinbrenner's bitch." Mr. Selig does not run baseball. Steinbrenner runs baseball and with … George raising his flag over what was once a proud nation - a proud game, teams like my beloved Milwaukee Brewers wait in the wings for someone to stop teams like the Yankees and Chicago Cubs. These are evil organizations. So I decided to make a new-years resolution in January... to say "Yankees suck" to everyone that I saw in Yankees apparel all season long. Fortunately, most people in Wisconsin despise this "proud" franchise that loves to take the fun out of baseball. I would like to propose this idea to fans of all teams... baseball may not need a salary cap, but they do need to do something. If we all band together, maybe we can defeat this evil empire once again."
