I will always say my crowning moment in my 15 years of posting on webboards occurred in April/May 2000 when I was the first on the old baseballboards.com to denounce those two and pronounce them Siths.

When he pulled the stadium off the table, I went mmmmm, but when he refused to attend a ceremony claiming it was a day he was "never available", I knew he was full of it. Ron Reusch and I led the charge against that *******.

When I think some at that board claimed Loria was trying and to give him a chance when he was liquidating the team, making bogus cash calls.

Funniest though were those who clung to the silly belief propagated by LoriaWig and the screamer on 990 that RICO was going to save the day.

I think that everyone WANTED him to be a savior led to blind hope. He never had anything in mind but getting out.
 
Yeah I know. Of course if the local business community had balls, they never would have had to find the art dealing scheister and mini me in the first place.

If it had been now, the team would have found a local suitor. With two 24-hour sports channels and plenty of programming room in the summer, there would have been a fit.
 
This Biogenesis thing won't go away:

Michael S. Schmidt of the New York Times reports that MLB has uncovered evidence that a representative of Alex Rodriguez arranged to purchase documents from Biogenesis.This comes on the heels of a report on Thursday night that MLB was attempting to purchase documents from former Biogenesis employees. According to Schmidt, MLB felt motivated to purchase the documents after learning that Rodriguez had attempted to acquire them, potentially with the motivation to destroy evidence of possible PED use. A-Rod has flatly denied the report through his spokesman Terry Fahn, according to Ken Davidoff of the New York Post. Source: Michael S. Schmidt on Twitter Apr 12 - 4:45 PM

Plenty of blame to go around but how MLB helped Loria buy the Marlins in the Henry-BoSox deal after they bought the Expos off him is stunning when you consider how much he origiinally bought in to the Expos. I like everyone else use to mock his selling of art venture but he sure is going to make a ton out of baseball when he finally sells.
 
Yankees PR Dept. ‏@YankeesPR

Just your conventional 4-6-5-6-5-3-4 triple play turned there by the Yankees...

It's really bad that the Marlins are getting such bad attendance in a brand new stadium

To see who, really? They gutted the team. Placido Polanco is batting clean-up and Stanton is undergoing an MRI on account of a shoulder ailment. I hope MLB finds a way of getting the Marlin owners to sell off their interest.
 
The quicker the Marlins and Rays die the sooner Montreal gets a team back. I doubt that the Marlins move simply because of the stadium. Loria may sell it but someone will keep it in Miami because of the stadium. But if the Rays don't get a new stadium built for them they'll be looking to move for sure.

And I love how the Jays are crapping the bed so far. It's still early, but I hope they tank just to piss off all the TV execs at Sportsnet and TSN who were planning on a coronation this year. I'd rather watch a last-place Mariners team play than have the Jays force-fed to me every night on TV.
 
Talk about the Jays, what's the deal with Dickey? Is it just transitioning to a new league or is he going to be a launching pad from here on out?
