Dispatches From The Front: Tin Foil Hat Edition
Email from a Cub fan friend of the COO of my group. Grapes still sour, buddy?
After letting it soak in for a few weeks, in my opinion, it was very obvious that the 2005 playoffs were fixed in favor of the White Sox. It was a fraud!
The final straw was when Commissioner Bud Selig ordered that the Astros play with their dome open. No one involved in baseball has ever heard of such a decision. Telling the home team that they cannot do with their stadium as they have done all season including the first round of the playoffs. I want to know who theatened Selig's family to make that decision.
The umpires were a disgrace. Doug Eddings call on the ball in the dirt changed the whole series. Just in case, umpire Ron Kulpa failed to not call catcher's interference on A.J. when his mitt hit Steve Finley's bat. And of course who could forget when umpire Jeff Nelson ruled that Jermaine Dye was hit by a pitch, loading up the bases for Paul Konerko's grand slam.
Coincidence? I think not. I want to know who got to the umps. Major League umpires are too good for that nonsense.
I have witnessed several sporting events in my life that I know were fixed. It happens more often that you think. One that comes to mind was the rematch between UNLV and Duke for the NCAA championship in the 90's. I can still see Stacy Augmon and Greg Anthony just throwing balls away to wide open guys.
Who was responsible for this White Sox victory? I would like to know. Was it the mafia? Mayor Daley and his Southside henchmen? Or was it Vegas bookies? When the playoffs started the White Sox had only a 10% chance of winning it all. Let me repeat that. The odds of winning it all even after the eight teams in the playoffs had qualified was only 10%. For every $1,000 bet, you win $10,000 if the Sox won. Who was on the other side of those odds? I believe that the offshore casinos and websites that are popping up all over took it in the ass! Why? I believe that Vegas is feeling the effects of all of the offshore bookies, etc. What better way to stick it to them by betting on the Sox(or any qualified underdog in sports) and making sure that they get the designated result of their wagers and putting these guys out of business.
I want to stress that I am not blaming Sox fans.
You had nothing to do with this. In fact I am jealous of you. I wish we had Mayor Daley and his boys and/or organized crime on our side like you did to make sure the Sox brought home a winner. I can only imagine the death threats to Vlad Guerrero and the rest of the Angels while they were here in Chicago. Instead what do we have on the North Side? Pussies! When the Marlins were here they probably treated them to dinner and drinks.
I also remember reading about how if the Cubs made it to the World Series in 2003 how much money Vegas would be out. All of the hundreds of thousands of Cub fans nationwide that put their money every year on the Cubs to win it all. The figure was in the hundreds of millions. Coincidence that the Cubs lost the last two games at home to go to the series? Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm.
I worked at the Merc long enough to know how this country operates. Where big money goes and how it is made. You can laugh at my theories above if you want but I could tell you stories that you wouldn't believe regarding stuff like this.
Why weren't the White Sox featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated when they won the Series? Why didn't ESPN even have them as the lead story? They know what's up. They know the best team didn't win.
That and the fact that the White Sox fan base of 30,000 people doesn't amount to much.
Thanks for reading. I'll now go back to smoking my weed. BT
