    They're all busy putting another pool in McCourts new mansion, purchased with parking money paid by all the "smart" fans who love Kool-aid :)

    You do know Mccourt gets a fixed annual payment for the parking lots every year, right? He doesn't get any revenue.

    The people pay to park and he gets his money...

    That's bc the master negotiators who hired the Nerds have gaping assholes.

    I mean we would've been stuck with that Cohen fraud if they didn't buy the team and we'd be in the same position as with McCourt.

    Be that as it may, or may not, one would think offering 650 million more than he did should have empowered them enough to tell McC to fuck off when he demanded the parking lot revenue and development rights. They couldn't have had him any more over a barrel and he turned it on them. Pussies. Now we have to suffer these Nerd fux!

    I hated McC with a passion but the team was closer to a WS than they are now, and going backwards to boot. Division title aside, back then we had a punchers chance in the post and now we don't. Last year proved it. NO ONE had them advancing.

    I don't think they offered $650M more than Cohen. Molly Knight talked about it in her book and it was a lot closer than it was reported.

    As far as the FO, I mean they kept NedCo and others around for like 2-3 years. This franchise isn't going backwards at all. The moves have been questionable, no doubt, but the Dodgers are still a really good team.

    Yes, they are a good team...just not as good as several others they will have to beat to get there.
    But, in the end, they will make money, and it's not personal, it's business, Sonny.
    It's good to be in LA , or markets like it (not too many)...because you can rake in the long dust pretty much by just fielding a team. The Nerds can make the money. Go all the way?
    Not so much.

    That's what they said about the Mets, Royals, Giants, and even some of those Cardinals teams that went to the WS. Baseball is so unpredictable.

    Good team yes but they are slipping further from being dominant, and playing that way.

    When it takes errors to win it's evident.

    Uh...the difference would be that they actually went to the WS. That would be the difference.
    OHey, I hope you're so right.
    But what "they say" pretty much means nothing... zero...it's what they do that is the whole ball of wax. To see more than what is really out there, is a "your lyin' eyes" situation. And they say, and have said " the Dodgers are the favorites to win it all"; multiple times, so...

    Yeah, it's been a little rough this week. Long season though, we'll see what happens.

    Like when I posted about CK having to win just the 6th game, I'm not an idiot and realize it had no playoff implications, but when our staff has been weakened like it has, having the feeling that we really needed the ace to win one so early was a horrible sign.... and don't give me shit for saying it either bc I wasn't the only one thinking it.

    He doesn't get any parking revenue. He gets the same check every year whether anyone parks there or not.
    He doesn't have development 'rights'. He cannot develop anything without the permission of Guggs.

    Well, not to belabor the point (and I get what you're saying), but if we had been the WS just a couple of times, or maybe actually won one in the last 27, shitty weeks like this could be taken with a grain of salt or a shoulder shrug... but being that we haven't sniffed it in over a quarter century, it's the same boring loser shit again.
    We have cultivated the culture of losing for so long now, ! see nothing breaking those chains. Not on this team.

    Come on.............

    The fact is: Given what they paid him in relation to the other offers, he shouldn't be involved.... at all.... in anything.... no matter what.... ever!

    Wish I didn't agree with you, but I do.

    Guess that comes from growing up in a time when it was World Series title or bust for the Dodgers.
