Digging into Chuck Greenberg.... Is he the right choice?

PrintI was looking at Chuck Greenberg's wikipedia again to find out that his son goes to Ohio U. Apparently he's in my year and my major. there's only about 17,000 people at the school, so most people know most people or at least heard of them but Ive never heard of him.
But anyway, I thought it was interesting that Greenberg was the reason that the Penguins are still in Pittsburgh since he helped make Mario Lemieux the majority owner after the team was in debt to him.
Obviously, everyone knows that he has supposedly been successful with his minor league baseball team..
But I think this makes the Rangers instantly a small market team, with the payroll seemingly not going any higher than it is now. I guess I'm just used to owners that have the money to spend and are willing to spend.
Am I the only person that is scared that this might turn into another Jeffery Loria situation? I could see Greenberg try to turn this into a money opportunity like many owners do.
Its just interesting that he has no ties to Dallas or anything Texas related. He is a huge Penguins and Steelers fan.. Does a Dallas sports team have any meaning to his wealth or is it just another thing in his Greenberg sports portfolio?
I guess we have to wait and see, but the facts don't look promising...

Gosh LOL
I haven't seen San Francisco fans celebrate like this since the last ghey pride event.
I can't wait for the day when Bengie Molina is a 500 lb. retiree wearing depends and Michael Main is anchoring the Giants rotation. What a special several years that will be!!
I can think of few things worse than..
“letting Arias finish in you.” It certainly has some shock value.

No
But I made tilapia with pineapple salsa tonight. Fuggin’ awesome!
Salsa: grilled pineapple slices diced, 3 tbsp cilantro chopped, 1/4 cup red onion diced, lime juice fucking squeezed, 1 serrano pepper minced, mix in a bowl .
Tilapia Marinade: 1 packet of taco seasoning mixed in a bowl with olive oil and garlic. Coat the fillets with this mixture and cook the tilapia in a skillet about 3 minutes on each side.
Cover your fishes with the salsa and eat the fucking crap.
This has been cooking with Section 339
Next week: Corn bread stuffed meatloaf.

Also try it with Mango instead of pineapple over fish.
I find mango a little less overwhelming than pineapple.
I also like how the lime juice is “fucking squeezed.” As if people would just dice up a whole lime.
I think he was refering to squeezing over
Store bought lime juice that come in one of those litttle green look a like limes.

So, let me get this straight
Chuck Greenberg will be a bad owner because a) miles goes to the same school as Greenberg’s son and has never heard of him, b) Greenberg was a minor league owner, which is bad, and c) Greenberg has no ties to Dallas.
Hmm.

The Texas Rangers have been synonymous with explosive firepower ever since they emptied 130 rounds into Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. - Alyssa Milano
This actually validates an important point:
The ideal owner of a major league baseball franchise (from a fans viewpoint anyway), would be one who only supplies the cash, and lets the GM and his posse do all the real work. I’d be willing to bet that most Ranger fans couldn’t name the 2 principal money men that are in line to buy Hick’s team. Those two don’t seem to care to be in the public eye, at least yet anyway. I fully expect the stars to be aligned when I walk outside tonight.

It's because he became an Indians fan to appease his girlfriend.
And he’s pissed because he knows he can’t go back as the Indians crater and the Rangers extend their first place lead.
Fair nuff
Then we would call him a bandwagoner

Didn't Cuban not have ties to Dallas before he bought the Mavs?
I don’t think that matters much, especially if Nolan is a minority owner.
if by not having ties you mean made a few billion in deep ellum...
then no, he didn’t have ties

the short answer to your question
is no, it does not make us a small market teem. Greenberg/Ryan have the same role that Bush did for Rainwater. They are fronting the group, the real $$ comes from two energy executives with local ties who very well (Bob Simpson or FW and Ray Davis of Dallas). They assure you that they are quite wealthy thank you very much.
