Thought I saw Loria come out and say he was in a business meeting about art paintings when Mike Hill told him about the change

with quotes from the boss man
--------------------

“I had nothing to do with the decision,” Loria told FOXSports.com on Friday. “I was informed of the decision by the baseball department. I told them it was their call.

“I don’t make decisions on who to pitch and when, how to go about it — that’s not my role. Sometimes they call me and tell me what they’re doing. But I don’t call them up and say, ‘This is what is going to happen.’ That’s not true.”

Loria, an art dealer, said he was discussing his primary business at the time he received a call about the pitching changes from general manager Michael Hill.

“I was engaged in discussions in the world about pictures, as in paintings, not pitchers, guys who can or can’t paint the strike zone.”

And a denial from NBC sports too: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/20...-doubleheader/

Then again he's lied before so...

If there's one thing we've learned it's that Jeffery Loria is always forthcoming.

[Ramp]

yea well Jeff Passan is nuts

I'll go with Loria here, although I wouldn't put it passed him to do such a thing

[emkayseven]

Loria's quote about pitchers vs pictures and painting is incredibad. I am on my iPhone right now so I can't post it, but see if you can find it. It is pure gold.

No other owner would dare!

Glad he pitched the game that was on tv

Jeff Passan has a really weird vendetta against Loria, so I'll take both guy's words with boulders of salt.

[Chewford]

“I was engaged in discussions in the world about pictures, as in paintings, not pitchers, guys who can or can’t paint the strike zone.”

Now these are the words of a guy who deserves a swift kick to the testicles.

[Swifty]

Now these are the words of a guy who deserves a swift kick to the testicles.

Ready, willing, and able.

[AdamRavs]

We could always send Ramp on a stealth mission. Since Loria is in NY a lot

[Bobbob1313]

Ramp's one of the Noble Loriattes. He wouldn't do it.

If there's one thing we've learned it's that Jeffery Loria is always forthcoming.

Sshhhhhh...

You'll offend Beef and Erick.

[Beef]

That's the thing Erick does.

[Fritz]

Is it the thing Erick does when someone makes a statement about criticizing the organization because it might upset them?
