Selig said he won't accept any more extensions although that is what he said after the previous one. "Look, when this is over, I'm going to be 78 years old," Selig said. Selig became acting com- missioner in September 1992, when clubs forced out Fay Vincent. After saying he wouldn't take the job, Selig was elected r term as permato a nent commissioner in 1998 and gave up running the Milwaukee Brewers, the team he bought in 1970 and his family five-yea- sold in 2005. Owners voted in November 2001 to extend his term through 2006, then voted in August 2004 to extend it through 2009. Oakland owner lew Wolff began the latest move for an extension when he sent Selig about a month ago. an "I said that he couldn't retire until I expire." Wolff said. Selig said he considered Wolff's message as he weighed his decision. Y -- srt Sm'my J Weather history there have been a lot of in recent months that have had in the local area, you are right. Three of the four weekends in October had precipitation. One of four weekends in November had-raior snow. Four out of five weekends in December had either rain or snow. So far in January, we have had snow both times and it looks as though Mother Nature will be coming through again this weekend. In fact, the National Weather Service is concerned that the weekend storm may be a slow mover and linger in some areas through early next week. Local snowplow drivers are keeping very busy this year. Also, the recent blast of Arctic air has made the roadways very cold so that nearly every flake may stick. Gusty winds, which have caused blowing and drifting of the powdery snows in many open areas, shouldn't be a problem until earlynext week. The mountain snowpack is near to above normal in most areas.

The inquiry, in response to a congressional request, amounts to an initial look at facts surrounding the case. It does not mean charges will be brought against the Houston Astros shortstop, who in 2002 won his MVP award while with Oakland. "The Justice Department has referred the Miguel Tejada matter to the FBI, and a preliminary inquiry will be conducted," FBI spokesman "I looked at that about four times a day, and actually began to take it quite seriously," Selig said. Selig provoked the 7 Vj. month strike that wiped out the 1994 World Series, but since has presided over an era of labor peace unprecedented since the players' association was formed in the late 1960s. He pushed for interleague play and wild cards in the postseason, eliminated the structure of separate league offices, launched baseball's Internet business and international initiatives. Up ahead in 2009 is the launch of MLB's television network. He predicted more change over the next five Richard Kolko said Thursday. Investigators with the FBI's field office in Washington will handle the inquiry. It is unclear g how long initial will take. "I don't have any comment," said Tejada's lawyer, Mark Tuohey. who said he was unaware of the FBI's involvement until contacted by The Associated Press. At issue are comments Tejada gave to House committee years. "By the time I leave, you won't recognize the sport," he said. ) FBI begins preliminary inquiry into Tejada'i steroids testimony: At Washington, Miguel Tejada is under FBI scrutiny, officials said Thursday after opening a preliminary investigation into whether the former AL MVP lied when he told federal authorities he never took I. mil investigators in August 2005 when he was with the Balt- imore Orioles. He denied during the interview that he used illegal performance-enhancin- g drugs or knew of other players ii r i r using or talking about steroids. World Series MVP Mike Lowell he would submit to HGH test if it's 100 percent accurate: At Boston, World Series MVP Mike lowell is willing to give blood if that's what it takes to be tested for human growth hormone. But only if the test is 100 percent accurate. Not 99 says percent. "If it's 99 percent accurate, that's going to be seven false positives," the Red Sox third baseman said Thursday before the annual dinner of the Boston chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. "Ninety three percent is 70 guys. That's almost three whole rosters. "You're destroying someone's reputation. What if one of the false positives is Cat Ripken? Doesn't it put a black mark on his career?" A respected voice in the Red Sox clubhouse who wasn't mentioned in the Mitchell Report, Lowell nonetheless came under suspicion in 2005 when, in the first year of testing in baseball, he went through the worst slump of his career. :. |
