Waiting for Tomo
Forget October: Now mlb.com reports that a decision "may not happen now until owners gather again in November for their final quarterly meetings of the year." Commissioner-for-life-plus-three-years Bud Selig told reporters at yesterday's owners' meeting: "Would we like to have done it faster? Yes. But youíre moving a franchise into markets where stadiums donít exist, where thereís much work to be done. Ö While we'd like to get it done, the fact of the matter is that it's important that we get it done right."
Added Selig: "Please don't read anything into this, but you're talking to a guy who got a team on April 1. We opened on April 7." But, you know, don't read anything into it.
