plus a $3M buyout
what an awful signing that turned out to be

No
we gave 3 years / $ 34 million to Padzilla.
If you think about it, Little Boy Donuts gave 1/3 of the entire 2007-2009 payroll to Padilla, Cat, Gagne, Lofton, Broussard and JJennings.
Does anybody really wonder why Hicks hired Nolan and castrated JD?

Ever heard of condor-fighting
tie a condor to the back of a bull, wait to see who kills who first. If the condor falls, he’s dead.
(fyi, condors glide. They are too heavy to take off from the ground)
condor v. condor would be so much better.

Odd
I wonder how often a player gets traded from team A to team B, only to be traded back to team A only a few months later?

Man, Kouz is a player I'm really surprised Beane would trade for
Because he’s fucking terrible at getting on base. A Blalockian career .308 mark. Plus moving from Safeco to the Coliseum ain’t gonna help his very meh power numbers that much.
That prospect from the Padres must be pretty good.

You know in MLB '08 the show
They still listed the RBiA as “Ameriquest Field in Arlington”. Bastards where getting free advertising for two years on that game.

@Evan_P_Grant There will be no resolution on #Rangers sale tonight. Who knows where it goes from here.

@Evan_P_Grant It appears that a showdown between MLB and Tom Hicks looms over #Rangers ownership.

Well
not like any of us didn’t know Hicks would fight this to his grave. I hope he has the balls to show up for caravan awards.

And you know
it’s not really that I blame him for wanting to keep his hold onto this club. It’s going places and he spent plenty of money when it was a losing proposition. That said, the most egregious part of this is his absolute refusal to talk to the media beyond one or two sentence statements. That’s just a horrid way to operate.

Do the owners from here
broker some sort of a buyout or go to court ordering the sale. Didn’t the Coyotes go through something like that?
"There are two girls that can take a pounding!" Tom Grieve
by Spadedsnake on Jan 15, 2010 11:07 PM CST up reply actions
Coyotes
They filed bankruptcy.
I believe their situation, in summary, was that the current owner wanted to see the team to a prospective owner who would then move the team to Hamilton. The NHL (foolishly, in my opinion) wasn’t going to approve the move of the team from Phoenix to Hamilton (Bettman had supposedly brokered a deal for the Coyotes to be sold to Jerry Reinsdorf for less money but they would stay in Phoenix). So the current owner put the team in Chapter 11, assuming the bankruptcy court would allow the the sale to go through, based on that being in the best interest of the creditors. However, the bankruptcy court ruled that the league had the right to block the ownership change, and thus the team is operating something as a ward of the league in bankruptcy.
Their situation is much more of a mess than than the Rangers current situation.

this is yet another deal
that I don’t really understand or see how it benefits the A’s.
G G G E-flat_______ F F F D__________....
Its thats you count on chavez and could retire
Jake fox is awful at third, so you trade away deep depth already in your farm system for a decent third baseman
I get the need filling
part, and I guess it’s not a bad deal all things considered.
