Cuban

buys the Rangers, trades for Halladay, we win the World Series. Seems simple enough to me.

i don't get why he never wanted to buy the rangers

Pretty sure he's a Cubs fan and he also knows the Cubs are a bigger moneymaker in the right hands.

He's not a Ranger fan

More importantly, I don’t know why it is assumed he’d suddenly dump tens of millions into the payroll of the Rangers.

I don't think he would buy another team unless he was 100% committed to winning.

That’s why I think if he bought the Rangers he would increase the payroll to some degree.

yes yes

we all know your thoughts on this

You have to be a fan of a team to buy them?

I need to figure out a way...

…to combine a Mark Cuban post with an Evan Grant talking about C.J. Wilson post.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 20, 2009 5:13 PM CDT up reply actions

It would need to be about CJ tweeting

EG loves CJ/twitter/facebook stories.

rangers don't seem

to be a solid investment. though i guess the mavericks would have been an uglier buy (probably the worst franchise in sports at the time)

Michael Young > Steve Garvey.
Nelson Cruz >Greg Nettles.
Elvis Andrus > Willie McGee.
Ian Kinsler > Darryl Strawberry.
i dunno, that's just really random.

Why not though?

We should start winning more over the next 4 years with our stellar farm system. Also, I imagine the presence of the new Cowboys stadium next door will only help.

heh

let’s find another filthy rich person to buy the team. anybody know how much money cuban has available anyway?

He was a Mavs fan

He is a Cubs fan.

I think Cuban is the type that will go over the top for a team he has an interest in outside of business. If he bought a team as strictly a business deal he would probably run it more like a business

Get. The. Fuck. Over it.

don't tell me to get over the biggest trade flop blunder fuck-up

i’m not over getting rid of John Danks. I loved John Danks he was our first round pick and a home town guy and one of my favorite draft picks. And a buddy of mine who i’ve met several times over the years and actually had dinner and we’ve met in austin before and done somethings.. so don’t tell me to leave the danks trade alone.

And if you think I will let it go and get over it then you are crazy.
