Beelzebud Selig's term as Commissioner of Major League Baseball has been extended through 2009. That sound you hear is my teeth grinding.
I may have more to say about this later, when I'm done banging my head against the wall. For now, let's all just agree that a Commissioner who is basically an extension of the owners is not really a Commissioner who can act solely in the best interests of the game. Sadly, it'll now likely be at least another five years before that conflict of interest can be resolved.
UPDATE: Dayn Perry rants about this so I don't have to. What he said.

With any luck at all we'll get an announcement in December that he's resigning for health reasons and Our Fearless Leader has deigned to accept the job.
