    Instituted a revenue sharing plan in which teams can field a roster whose total payroll is less than what they take in from revenue sharing, thereby ensuring that fielding a low-cost, non-competitive team will bring in a profit before the season even starts.

    Oversaw the rise of MLB baseball "academies" in Latin America, where the only academics were Forgery 101 and Extortion 201.

    The "human element" of having people umpiring instead of video cameras almost got some little Asian lady murdered by Serena Williams. #instantreplay

    What lack of expansion are we blaming the MLB brass for exactly?

    Can we get some parameters? Inside the park fair/foul calls? Catch/no catch calls? The strike zone (God forbid)? All of the above?

    It just seems too easy to yell at baseball for not expanding while having no plan of your own. What are we, Republicans here?

    @Civil Negligence: Well, we don't really know, because they refuse to even consider it.

    I would think fair/foul calls, trap catches, and/or force outs wouldn't be completely unreasonable. (For discussion. I'm still on the fence as to whether it would do any good.)

    Leave Selig alone. He has enough to worry about, what with trying to guide the Pilots to another American League East title. #instantreplay

    Dashiell, what you don't understand is the human element. The game needs the human element, because otherwise the winning team would always be the team that won the game, and that's just not natural. #instantreplay
