Zambarno Throws No No --- Selig Does A No No

If you are in the playoffs and own Carlos Zambrano you are probably feeling a lot better than the Houston Astros feel this Monday. Zambrano threw his first career no hitter yesterday at Miller Park in Milwaukee. Here's the kicker, um I mean hurricane. Hurricane Ike forced the teams out of Houston. Yes the no no was against the Houston Astros who came into this series as the hottest team in baseball. I am not underplaying the effects of that storm at all, but come on, this was just another one of Bud Selig's bright ideals. Right in the middle of a hot playoff race, Selig sends the Astors to a ballpark that was less than an hours drive from plenty of Cub fans and less ninety minutes for the bulk of the Cub fans. In baseball they play 81 home and 81 away. This year give the Cubs an 83-79 home and away schedule as they again played in Milwaukee this afternoon. Just because it's been 100 years sense they won a Series everybody should just turn their head and look the other way. Myself I hope it's at least 100 years again before they win one. Where does Selig get off using what amounts to his own ball park as the site for what was suppose to be a home game for Houston. Was there not something closer to Houston and their fans. I think Miller park is at least nineteen hours from Houston. Does Selig still get revenue from baseball at Miller Park, home of the team he 'use' to own, the Brewers. To me Selig has made some bone head decisions in his tenure as Baseball Commissioner and it's past time for him to ride off into the sunset. Be fair Bud.
