Selig-bot set on 'grub for stadiums'

Fresh from the Spider-Man on the bases debacle, MLB mastermind Bud Selig returned to an evil scheme he's more familiar with: Telling Oakland it needs to cough up stadium dough for the A's. "Clearly for this club to be competitive in the future it needs a new venue," said Doc Octopus of the team that's won three division titles the last four years. With the New York press in town to cover the Yankees-A's game, the commish added a shout-out to his homies in Flushing: "The Mets need a new stadium and they believe they need a new stadium." Spider-Man was not immediately available for comment on how he would combat this latest threat to his hometown.
