Remember last year when it seemed like some of the Major League administration had something against the Red Sox, as certain players on the Sox (David Wells - allegedly making contact with an umpire) did not have their suspensions reduced when certain players on other teams (Rafael Palmeiro - testing positive for an illegal substance) did get reductions after appeal? At that time David Wells had some harsh words for MLB Commissioner Bud Selig; harsh enough to draw an apology from the Red Sox.
They might need to make another gesture to the commish now.
According to the Hartford Courant Wells said that Selig should resign, in response to Selig's request that the New York remove signs apologizing for the loss of stars Derek Jeter and Johnny Damon from their spring training games to the World Baseball Classic.
Don't be surprised if the Sox see some trouble from the higher ups this year because of Wells comments. This is just another example of Wells being a pain in the butt to the Sox, albiet indirectly. Sure, he hasn't been able to speak with Selig face-to-face. Write the guy a damn letter! Or burst into his office and confront him violently, just do it on your own time and let the Sox void your contract if you mess up. That would solve a lot of problems, wouldn't it?
