Praise Jesus and Pass the Sunflower Seeds

There is a god and he thinks Bud Selig is a douche.

As some of you may or may not know, I got incredibly pissed at Bud "Automobiles and Baseball Games are both Tangible Products" Selig and sent him an angry letter about his transferring the MLB cable package into an exclusive deal with DirecTV, making it unavailable for those who do not want and cannot get DirecTV. Selig, to his credit, responded to my letter rather quickly. In that letter, he stated that I lacked class and that I was rude (Bud's obviously not a Nate Way reader or he would have taken those observations for granted). Also, in his letter, Bud gave no indication that he would make baseball available to the cable consuming public again.

But, whatever. Baseball is back on my television.

I was so damn happy when I found this out that I actually did a fist pump, punctuated it with a "woo hoo!" and followed that up with a dance that PIC's own Michael Curtiss would probably refer to as "gaaaayyyyy." But whatever. Baseball's back on my TV. There is a god and he/she/it loves me.

Now, normally, this great news, in and of itself, would be enough to trip my trigger, float my boat and just generally tingle my genitalia, but that's not even the good bit.

Are you ready for the good bit?

Okay, here's the good bit.

The MLB Extra Innings Cable package is back on because of a move initiated by congress. That's right, your United States Congress, the same folks who couldn't agree on the current color of the sky if you gave them two weeks and half a million dollars, actually managed to do something that almost every American baseball fan wanted and they actually did it quickly.

So, if you're scoring at home, Bud Selig is such a douchebag that congress has had to go around him not once, but twice in his tenure as Head Douche in Charge. And you know what? I don't care anymore.

I take back everything I've ever said about baseball's Vampire in Chief. Because, quite frankly, despite what I previously thought I learned, baseball does transcend Bud Selig's doucheness.

Now, if only my Cardinals would wake up and realize that the season started?
