To borrow a term used to describe Rush Limbaugh, I think David Wells is a big, fat idiot. He’s self-aggrandizing and incredibly selfish. He’s a lousy teammate. He is a man who doesn’t keep promises or make good on his word. He famously crapped out on a handshake deal with Arizona to re-join join the Yankees in 2002 and then famously crapped out on the Yankees in his Game Five start of the 2003 World Series, costing the Yankees a chance to win the title.
And yet, the one and only thing I respect about David Wells is that isn’t afraid to call out the proverbial elephant in the room. I’m glad David Wells isn’t on the Yankees anymore, especially after his latest outburst. If Wells were on the Yanks, famous Yankee-hater Bud Selig would probably call in the state militia and forcibly barricade Yankee Stadium. Since he’s on the Red Sox, we can rest assured that Wells will only have to apologize and, at most, pay a small fine. I doubt any suspension will come of this.
Anyway, thanks to Boomer for telling it like it is. Bud Selig is a horrible commissioner and everyone should know about it.
PS – For those wondering when my American League preview will be posted, I promise that it is forthcoming. I was supposed to have it done by Saturday but my midterms got in the way so if you have to blame anyone, blame Prof. Katz.
