$500k fine to win the world series? Cheap!!!! Won't happen though!

You should concentrate on the drug problem Selig. Oh, I forgot, you condone it.

I think FN should put a little caption on that pic of Selig: 'Hmmm....I wonder if this will make people forget steroids and PEDs.'
(a nod to Twins Fan 2.....I completely agree!)

MLB is cracking down on rules violations.

The TRUTH is imposing deadline on Selig:

PUNISH Offenders from the report by the end of this season or resign!

Yeah, because something so minor deserves this much attention, Bud. What about your complete and abject failure from stopping 'roiders likes Bonds from running around and making a mockery of the sport? You have been a horrible Commissioner, and quite frankly, nobody save for a few malcontents will miss you once you vacate your position of power.

Why is MLB angry with the Cubs ??? Because they can't win a damm World Series !!!

So, Bud is pissed because the Cubs signed a player they drafted, and then let him throw a few pitches at Wrigley Field before they sent him to the minors so they could see his technique.

Seriously Bud, you've lost it when this is even worthy of your attention.

Why don't you fine Manny for throwing employee's to the ground in anger?

And Bud says his ties to the Brewers are gone.

When was the last time we say an MLB team fined for the "up and up" activities in Latin America? You can't tell me there is no hanky panky going on there?

How was the player? I hope he was worth the 500k. Man it seems like everyone is trying to get a hand in on the money, from MLB getting 500k to Packers trying to get draft picks from Vikes it all a bunch of bullsh!t.

And Bud says his ties to the Brewers are gone.

Nice try bbech. A 500k fine towards the Cubs doesn't help the brewers. For those of us who believe the punishment doesn't fit the crime, what should the punishment be? A warning? The punishment must be enough to discourage the other teams from following suit, regardles of what rule(s) is broken. And though 500k is stiff, there are other punishments besides monetary fines that would be considered more harsh. Cubbies havin' a bad week it seems.

It seems that when anyone does anything, Selig wants to hold everyones hand. LET THE OWNERS DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND YOU BE A COMMISHIONER!!!!

You really need to keep your nose clean if you're going to bust the lsot system.

slot system. Don't bust the slot system unless you're going to keep your nose clean on every actual rule.
