Around SBN: Evaluating the Orlando Magic After 10 Games Bar-right-arrows



Cubs out.

Since the Cubbies were eliminated I have to change my prediction around here.

NLCS Phillies vs. Dodgers

Phillies win. Advance to the World series.

ALCS Red Sox vs. Rays

Rays win. Advance to the World series.

Phillies versus Rays, I don't care up to this point, interesting World Series.

The things I really wanted to happen this postseason is...

A. Dodgers to be eliminated.

B. Brewers to be eliminated. (Check)

Reason? Dodgers I do not like because of Manny, Manny should not even be in the playoffs I think because of his antics back in Boston. It is a disgrace that someone like that is allowed to play at such a high level, But when teams are desperate they will take him, he is really good with a stick. Brewers, Bud's team, hahaha Eliminated, Yeah he did that so it would go in favor to his team. He shouldn't be allowed to own a team because he is the comissioner of baseball.

Bud Selig does not own the Brewers

His family sold the team in 2005.

Most in the investor group are Selig’s buddies and former partners.

and Selig still calls Milwaukee home.

All of which gives him a reason to favor the Brewers.

But he retains no ownership interest.

Oh...

Well my father said he owns the Brew Crew, but he could be wrong.

Yeah... But..

Upon his assumption of the commissioner’s role, Selig transferred his ownership interest in the Brewers to his daughter Wendy Selig-Prieb in order to remove any technical conflicts of interest, though it was widely presumed he maintained some hand in team operations. Although the team has been sold to Los Angeles investor Mark Attanasio, questions remain regarding Selig’s past involvement. Selig’s defenders point to the poor management of the team after Selig-Prieb took control as proof that Selig was not working behind the scenes. (Wikipedia.org)

There could be no greater evidence of Selig's involvement

than that of poor management of the team.
