Letter to Bud Selig Mad Lib

This has to be my last post on the subject.  I didn't think moving to the AL West would bother me much, but now that it seems more likely, my feelings have gotten stronger.  I must have been in denial before.  If you want to write to Mr. Selig, but you are not sure what to say, you can use this mad lib.  This is just for fun.  If you plan on writing to him, be a little more respectful.  Now I must stop procrastinating and find a copy of Eugene Onegin.

Dear Mr. __1__ Mongoloid ESQ,

We the people find your decision to __2__ the Houston Astros to the American League West to be __3__.  What sort of __4__ would do such a thing?  How long were you __5__ on the toilet before you came up with this?  Maybe you should eat more __6__.  I know you think that the Astros have no more fans after their __7__  season ever, but we assure you that we are still here.  You can't __8__ this __9__ scheme past us.  We honestly believe that baseball would be better served with a fermented __10__ running the show.  We know that Drayton, your boot-licking __11__, has cowed to you in the past over your slotting system, and he probably doesn't care now that he has __12__ our team because his blood __13__  is waiting in escrow...but we care.  We don't want __14__  9pm start times.  We don't want a __15__ DH __16__ away in the batters box.  We don't want __17__ Ranger fans __18__ into our fair city more than 3 times a year.  You can take this plan and __19__ it up your __20__.  You are a __21__ man.  Why do your Brewers get to stay in the National League, which is not their natural environment? We know you like the NL!  You may think we are demoralized and weak...but it's only our front office and our two owners that are __22__ and __23__ enough to go along with this.  Please do us a favor and __24__ the Commissioner's office.

Yours in anger,

______25______

I'll give the first half of this a go (I took a few liberties :P).

Dear Self-serving, allow-players-to-use-steroids-right-under-your-nose, pathetic jagoff,

We the people find your decision to toss the Houston Astros like garbage to the American League West to be asinine, at best. What sort of Selig(1) would do such a thing? How long were you spacing out on the toilet before you came up with this? Maybe you should go stuff your face full of Twinkies (or maybe THAT’s exactly what you were doing when you came up with this decision!). I know you think that the Astros have no more fans after their worst season ever, but we assure you that we are still here. You can’t run this fly-by-night scheme past us. We honestly believe that baseball would be better served with a fermented, rotten eggplant running the show.

(1) Selig = moron

Best Fanpost I've Read Here Yet.

Dear Mr. Cow Mongoloid ESQ,
We the people find your decision to romp the Houston Astros to the American League West to be flagellate. What sort of rhombus would do such a thing? How long were you yelping on the toilet before you came up with this? Maybe you should eat more orangutan. I know you think that the Astros have no more fans after their most ridonkulous season ever, but we assure you that we are still here. You can’t blow raspberries from this ponderous scheme past us. We honestly believe that baseball would be better served with a fermented rhubarb running the show. We know that Drayton, your boot-licking pachycephalosaurus, has cowed to you in the past over your slotting system, and he probably doesn’t care now that he has eaten our team because his blood bassoons [are] waiting in escrow…but we care. We don’t want blasted 9pm start times. We don’t want a bloody DH cyberfraculating away in the batters box. We don’t want rancid Ranger fans unicycling into our fair city more than 3 times a year. You can take this plan and defenestrate it up your left nostril. You are a hyperbolic man. Why do your Brewers get to stay in the National League, which is not their natural environment? We know you like the NL! You may think we are demoralized and weak…but it’s only our front office and our two owners that are unitarian and sagacious enough to along with this. Please do us a favor and perform scatomancy on the Commissioner’s office.
Yours in anger,
CRP13

My Favorite Part

“You can take this plan and defenestrate it up your left nostril.”

Defenestrate may be my new favorite word. It sounds so dirty. And it’s so…not.

That is a nice word.

I wish there were some way to make it automated so that people just had to enter in words and it would produce the final draft.

My least favorite part

…“our front office and two owners that are unitarian and sagacious enough to go along with this.”

Oops. Unintentional, I promise.

That s great stuff.

William Faulkner couldn’t have expressed it any better.

I wish I could take credit for the

“Mongoloid ESQ” and the “Yours in anger” but I lifted them from the novel “A Confederacy of Dunces.” I recommend it to everyone. And of course “We the people” is from that thing…you know. The important thing like the CBA.
