The Baseball commisioner is infallible in matters concerning the game

[JVS]

Furthermore he has authority over the interpretation of the rules as well as the power of the office of the keys by which he can bind or loose any transgressions within baseball.

He truly is the vicar of the game.

1. that confused me.

:)

[JVS]

6. Basically I'm suggesting that baseball should consider the office of...

commisioner as a sort of baseball-pope

[kick-ass-bob]

.

:)

:hi:

2. I like pie.

Mmmm. Pie.

[LynneSin]

3. Bud Selig is an asshole who has ruined the game

Because it's all about his Milwaukee Brewers and benefitting the owners, which basically he is one of.

[KitchenWitch]

4. Hear hear

Back when they were talking about contraction...it is the Brewers that should have been contracted...since they do not draw for shit (even with a beautiful new stadium), not the Twins.

Selig is not my Bud.

5. Infallibility is a papal decree.

Vicars are lowly priests - and Anglican, at that. :hi:

[JVS]

7. Another name of the pope is the "vicar of Christ"

The commisioner is the "vicar of baseball"

[RevCheesehead]

14. a.k.a. "The Bishop of Rome."

He has many titles - some of the more colorful being uttered in GD. :evilgrin:

And, although not proven, many believe that Martin Luther referred to the pope in A Mighty Fortress as "The Prince of Darkness".

[JVS]

15. "der alt boese Feind" could either be Satan or the Pope in the song

of course given the confessional documents of the evangelical church, difference in interpretation would be small indeed. The Smalcald articles in particular make that clear

[RevCheesehead]

16. Satan - Pope - Bud Selig....

What's the difference? Or are they the Unholy Trinity? :evilgrin:

[kick-ass-bob]

8. I'm glad we got an expert opinion!

:D

[Bill McBlueState]

9. if I vote yes,

Does Selig have to wear a mitre at the winter meetings? That would make it worth it.

[JVS]

10. Sure

[madinmaryland]

11. Are you implying that "W" would have made a good

commissioner of baseball?

:shrug:

[JVS]

12. Are you implying that you think W is infallible about anything?

[madinmaryland]

13. He thinks he is infallible. n/t

[RPM]

17. not selig

he is a fucking idiot

[leftofthedial]

18. he's a toady who does whatever the owners tell him to do

Selig succeeded where even Hitler failed. Another ten years of Butt Smellig and baseball will be indistinguishable from roller derby.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. You may as well suggest

that you think * is infallible and is the Vicar of Mer'ka.

If there's a Dog, Selig will die very, very soon and burn in South Hell.
