Game of the Day 7/29 ⚾ Dodgers (3-2) @ Astros (3-2) 7:10 PM ET

“Son, we live in a world that has baseball, and that baseball has to be run by men in suits. Who's gonna do it? You? You, /r/baseball? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Joe Kelly, and you curse the MLB. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Joe Kelly’s suspension, while tragic, probably saved the Astros. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves baseball in Houston. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me running the league, you need me running the league. We use words like piece, of, and metal. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent running a sport into the ground. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very baseball that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, otherwise, I suggest you head to mlbshop.com, and pick out some merchandise. Either way, I don't give a damn WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE ENTITLED TO.
