What's gross? I am just stating the only two ways he is not owner of this team. I DO NOT WISH HIM DEATH, I WISH HE WOULD SELL THE TEAM. IF he did die it would be a good thing for this franchise, obviously it is a sad situation when anyone dies, unless they have no use to be in society like a child rapist or something, but I do not wish him an unnatural death.
Sandro, of course Buck was never going to be traded unless other pieces were included. If they did pick up more of the contracts that left we would've received better prospects back. Again, it's about the bottom line with this ownership group. To me it seems like Loria is just not rich enough to own a baseball team. Most owners use it as a tax shelter and as a hobby. He does it to make more money.

Anyone here thinks John Buck could have been dumped, full salary, for anything?

I can understand the lurking feeling of worry.
Not that he'd trade everyone away because they won

Buck was a guy Loria really wanted and had wanted for a while. Him shitcanning him was actually a rare example of Loria's personal accountability.Amy Adams, AKA Cinnamon MuffLogan Morrison: "If baseball didn't exist, I would probably be ... like a curler. Or a hairstylist."

Why root for something if you are just going to get shit on? What has this ownership done to prove otherwise? They have to stop the pattern to start creating FANS and not make baseball a novelty act. It will take this ownership seasons and seasons of not being dickheads to garner any sort of trust, and I'm not sure they could ever cease being dickheads nor could ever win this city over after what they did this last offseason. They are going to field the lowest payroll in baseball, and it won't be close, 2nd year in a new mostly publicly funded stadium in a nearly bankrupt city after they promised "league average" payrolls and operating like a real franchise. That's the fucking point of building a stadium. I mean, I don't blame them for swindling Miami, applaud them for business and politically negotiating a good deal, but the fact they are tanking the team immediately is criminal. It's a slap in the face to everyone. They have done nothing to earn any credibility or respect, and yes I think that lack of trust in who is operating the team is going to have an enormous enormous effect on attendance and fanships.
Record low attendance coming, and will continue to come with this ownership. It's going to be an embarrassment.

Just to let you all know, I am pissed at him, and I will not let it go. Not today, not tomorrow, and not even if they win a championship in the next 4 or 5 years (yeah like that will happen). He needs to go, and that is the bottom line.
But not every thread has to turn into a Loria bitch fest. I hope once pitchers and catchers report, we can start talking about who is in "the best shape of their life", but I have a feeling all the threads will end the same way.

Originally posted by oakelmpine View PostWinning usually translates into contract demands from players. Not always, but it does a lot of the time. Loria we know, will not stand for that, and that means players leave.

Originally posted by oakelmpine View PostBut isn't it a shame that because of the owner, that's what we spend our time doing ?
Instead of discussing the team, what can happen this season, who could we pick up to make the team better, what we are looking forward to seeing this season, we have to be wasting time on this crappy thread ?
