Hicks' Finances
How much info do we have, is the $525M substantially all of the HSG’s debt? If so, I imagine having him as a minority owner wouldn’t be THAT bad since his cashflow situation would improve with the de-leveraging.
* Word is Gilbert’s chances appear to be fading fast, especially since a proposed merger with Hicks fell by the wayside.
To me, this is probably the best news we’ve heard about the ownership situation yet. I can’t say that I know what Greenberg or Crane will do with the F.O., but I know I didn’t like Gilbert.

agreed
with CG, we get a seemingly committed owner who will let Nolan run the club. With Crane, it sounds like he wants to keep Nolan and he has the deepest personal pockets. Either way we could be in good shape.

it sounds like Greenberg
is in the cat bird seat. Apparently it helped to allow Hicks to maintain a shred of dignity.
Can we start calling Greenberg “Gerald Ford”?
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
The hell?
Cowlishaw tweets he’s hearing Crane…

yep
Think Rangers will be announcing start of negotiating period with Houston businessman Jim Crane very soon. Probably today.
"you stupid motherfucker?!?!!?" - Josey Wales
hes not
This is his last ditch effort to keep control of the team. He will drag out the negotiations while is continue to put together a group to get it himself. He knows MLB most likely will not accept Crane!!
WHY LORD WHY!!! WHY DO YOU HATE THE TEXAS RANGERS SO BAD!!!
Elvis has "shook up" Arlington!!
hmmm
“WHY LORD WHY!!! WHY DO YOU HATE THE TEXAS RANGERS SO BAD!!!”
Cursed from years of sheltering steroid users? That’s my best guess. Have mercy on us baseball gods!!
Seriously, it's not like we won anything with those players.
Please have mercy!
Jimmy Johnson for GM.
No joke!!
All the good the roids did us!! I just want April to begin and know that the team that is in place is going to contend, and the organization is going to do, and be able to do, everything it can to help it contend. Is that all to ask for!!!
Elvis has "shook up" Arlington!!
I think it's because Jose Canseco
wouldn’t hook the pitchers up…think about it – he wanted to pitch himself, right? why would he help out his competition?

first i've heard of
Hicks being a minority partner with Greenberg. Makes me think less of the Greenberg group, unless they can keep Hicks problems from weighing them down.
That's been the plan
for some time now

What
Tom Hicks the man is not the problem… Tom Hicks LLC called Hicks Sports Group, they are in trouble… Thus, Hick’s chipping in say $20 million of his own money to be a minority owner is fine with me, expecially if that money somehow finds it’s way back to the Rangers or glory park.

minority partner means very little
Just means he is giving some of his personal money to the group and will get a portion of the profits but will have no say in day to day or long term plans for the club.
Like being a stockholder of a company.

Yeah, lots of MLB clubs have many minority owners whose names you never even hear

In the interest of quicker games Ron should just tell the ump he's pulling the Feliz card and the ump should rule the inning over.--Sherman McCoy on Sept. 4, 2009
Yup.
Made the decision yesterday that I’m leaving in early January, though. I may come back, but the economy is making working at Disney World suck. (I might try and go to Disneyland, see if my experience would transfer over there, and they’re still making money and still treating their employees well).

Wow
I hate to hear that but you have to do what is best for you.

I was thinking the exact same thing just a bit ago.
Pretty slow day while sitting at the j-o-b waiting for some decent news. Last Wednesday flew by at work thanks to JD’s crafty work.
