Bud Selig sits in front of scores of reporters and photographers, looking like another extra innings All-Star game is going to end in a tie.

He twitches and spasms with each flash pop as if the beams of light are darts aimed at his skin. Finally, he throws up his arms in disgust.

"I thought I'd seen everything during my time as the commissioner -- work stoppages, steriod use and rumors of steroid use, contraction, even stalemates in an All-Star game. But I never thought I'd see a day like this -- a day where Invalid Player Files threaten to ruin the league.

"This is a sad day for Major League Baseball indeed..."

Then, reporters start firing questions at him:

"Who are the invalid players?"

"Why are they invalid?"

"Does this have anything to do with BALCO?"

"Has the A-Rod trade been nulified?"

"Do you suspect terrorism?

"Is there a way you can help me make some cool logos using Photoshop?"

"What's up with Johnny Damons' scruffy look this year?"

And then a little-known reporter from a small town paper in Arizona delivers the knock-out punch:

"And just why, Mr. Commissioner, did you not BACK UP YOUR SEASON FILES???!!!???"

Selig's head hits the table like a brick and he weeps quietly... This season is history...
