Major League Baseball bends for nobody. Not even Senator Barack Obama...or the dude selling Obama T-Shirts.

MLB shut down an online business called Obama Of Dreams because it was using team logos and tweaking them slightly to promote Obama. They must be Hillary supporters.

We sent a cease-and-desist letter for violating our trademark," baseball spokesman Rich Levin said Tuesday.

Morris Levin, a supporter of Barack Obama's presidential campaign, operated www.obamaofdreams.com and said he shut down the site March 4. He said he stopped sales on that date.

"I started the site as a fun way to show support for Sen. Obama, and I'm a big Phillies fan," he said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "I did not make any profit on this, and I think that Major League Baseball has a fantastic product of which I am a big consumer.

So, this guy gets shut down for printing Obama shirts using MLB typefaces, but we allow countless retards to sport tees that say "Vote for Pedro" and "Jesus is my Homeboy"?!? What is this world coming to?

If there's anything we've learned from our years of watching sports, it's that it doesn't really matter how hard you root for your team. What's really important is how hard you root against the other guys.

So, before all you Red Sox fans start loading up on AL Champions t-shirts, you might want to divert some of those funds into your anti-Rockies gear. Jerseys, ringers, tank tops, tees, caps, coffee mugs: if you really want to cheer your boys to a ring then this is what you need. It's simple, straight to the point and it sums up the feelings of an entire population.

You know, we thought that this was a pretty innovative idea until we started surfing around the site and realized that there's a friggin' t-shirt with every slogan imaginable. So, for all you Rockies fans out there, take solace in knowing that are plenty of shirts that bash the Sox in every way imaginable. Some of our favorites:

Buck Foston
Curse? You just sucked for 86 years.
And...
I would rather my sister be a prostitute then for her to be a RED SOX fan
