OKAY, ONE LAST COMMENT

It seems that Vod hasn't noticed the number of comments by sports writers and columnists who are lobbying for Selig to "legislate" a perfect game into the books. I knew I could count on "Befuddled Bud" to do the right thing, not out of conviction, but because he believes the easiest decision is the one you DON'T make.

The comment has been made that if it was a Yankee pitcher who lost the Perfecto, Yankee fans would be clamoring for a change. Not this fan. The game is not played in the Commissioners office, but on the field. I am still irked at the "Pine Tar Game" decision. The ultimate decision may have been morally right, but it was wrong to decide against the rules. At least we got to see baseball's best explosive argument. Even George Brett says he's proud of that one.

***YANKS LOSE**
No comments from Picasner on this one. I slept through the game and apparently the Yankees did the same.

"Ubaldo Jimenez tosses baseball's 211,413th imperfect game."

***THE PASSING OF JOHN WOODEN***
When I was most impressed about Coach Wooden, was that designed his team around the players he had. Dean Smith at UNC, would force his players into his system. Even Michael Jordan was not allowed to play his game but was put into Dean's offense where the number of shots he took was limited and confined to the plays that were run. He did win with that system, but it wasn't the most most exciting or interesting basketball.
I watched Coach Wooden design an offense around two great guards that he had, then around dominating centers that were there, and finally around two great forwards, when they were the best players on the team. That was great coaching.
