Marge Schott is obviously a few cards short of a full deck at times, but why are her fellow weasels so intent on running her out of baseball - especially when there are so many other problems at the major-league level?
Some of her statements are extremely insulting and distasteful, yet does anyone take her seriously? I doubt it.
What bothers me is seeing Bud Selig, who should be living in a Roach Motel, acting like he is a savior for the game.
Selig has run the Milwaukee franchise into the ground, he helped prolong the baseball strike and he is a major force against having a full-time commissioner - which is a much more critical problem than Schott being a buffoon.
There are attendance problems in both leagues, the pitching is atrocious, a few umpires are acting as stupid as the owners and young sports fans continue to turn their attention elsewhere.
The truth is that Schott is an easier target than a jerk like Albert Belle, who should have been suspended for the season for intentionally throwing a baseball at a photographer. Belle could have killed or blinded the guy.
The fight was stopped in the fourth round with Chavez's face a bloody mess.
The 33-year-old Chavez is the ultimate warrior with a 97-2-1 record. But he is on the way down and the 23-year-old De La Hoya, 22-0 with 20 knockouts, is one of boxing's rising superstars.
Chavez was the 140-pound champ for many years and has been a tremendous inspiration to all of the outstanding boxers who come from Mexico.
But it's time for him to seriously consider retiring. He could still be extremely valuable as a trainer - or he could help promote the sport in his native country.
Salud, one of the classiest professional athletes you could ever meet, looked pretty good recently when he stopped Michael Galatti in the fourth round at the Blaisdell Arena.
In fact, Salud showed uncharacteristic aggressiveness and emotion in putting away the unorthodox Galatti. But I doubt that Salud has enough quickness left to win a major title. One sign is that the younger boxers who have the titles, or are top-ranked, are no longer ducking Salud like they did in the past.
Sometimes a heavyweight or two can survive into their advanced boxing years, but the lighter weights have to rely on their hand speed and defensive quickness.
I sure wish more fans would come out to support Salud and boxing in Hawaii, though. The last crowd at Blaisdell was really disappointing, even though it had a good undercard - including Stevie Johnston, who is going to be a great fighter and possibly a world champion in the future.
It's just another case of one young boxer on the way up and an aging veteran on the way down.
I would still love to see Salud get another title. And you can count on him being a great role model for the kids of Hawaii, which he has always been.
In this day and age it's ridiculous and unfair to NBA followers, especially the young fans who can't go watch it live in a sports bar.
It should be called "Close Your Brain Time."
