    I would've been all for trading Stanton to get a shot at a championship in 2008. Championships are fo evah.

    The hypothetical thing about new ownership or a championship is silly. Loria doesn't give us a greater chance than Jeb Bush or whoever just because he did that thing in 2003 and then hasn't made the playoffs since.

      What are our chances of winning those things with those 10 years of Stanton?
      No higher than 10% in a given year

            If he sold it to anyone I expect a reaction like the celebration at the end of Return of the Jedi. Maybe fewer ewoks.

              I don't think we get rings.

                  If I had never experienced a championship I would take the championship over Loria selling. But having done so, I'll take the potential of a championship with better ownership over the guarantee.

                    I answered this the other day.

                    I think people go overboard with their hatred of him, but there are also plenty of things I don't like about him.

                      This is strictly curiosity, for the record
                      Yes. Absolutely. To me, it's not even a question.

                        There would be a future for baseball in South Fla if Loria was gone. We have two titles, which is more than a lot of teams, so yes I would take Loria gone over a guaranteed championship.

                          You people care way too much about the owner. Its like the actual game is of secondary importance to you. I cannot understand how someone would prefer getting a new owner over another World Series win. If we are winning, what difference does the owner make?

                          There are plenty of teams with "good" owners who never win a title.

                            To continue the trend of hypotheticals, would those of you who would take a new owner over a guaranteed championship still want a new owner if the team never won another world series title in your lifetime?

                              these hypothetical situations are pointless and not worth discussing. The only hypothetical that needs discussed was if Loria had the chance to sell, would you want him to? Manny Ramirez and other shit is irrelevant to the discussion.

                                Why does that need to be discussed? Everyone is on the same side
