legacyofCangelosi Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 False. They offered a substantial amount of money, it was a legit run. But I thought Loria is the devil? Are you insinuating not everything he does is pure greed and evil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyofCangelosi Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Good point! Jokes aside, regardless of what his true motivations for certain actions are, I personally do believe that for all the negative he has done over time he's made moves to help the team win especially last offseason such as signing Stanton and Yelich long term. Of course getting the stadium was also huge in keeping the team down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does want to win and hell he might even like us fans but he's just an irrationally emotional idiot when trying to give us a winner.

Mr. Man Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 A better question is "why this thread wasn't created years ago?" I mean seriously, I can't believe no one thought of this before now. But anyway, another grievance is, if it has not been covered already, is the way/how/why/when he fired Joe Girardi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think he wants to own a team if he is not allowed to indulge his conquering delusions......bad for any team that he owns.....

fanofthefish Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The main reason I hate Loria is that he's as impulsive as a teenage girl and the fans and team suffer from his whims, kind of like a Steinbrenner, but with Tourette's! He's all over the fucking place! For years I've railed about the team picking a direction and fucking sticking with it! Seriously he needs to hire capable baseball minds and just get the fuck out of the way and stop deluding himself that he's one of those great minds.

He's basically George Steinbrenner if George knew less about the game and had a fraction of the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 He's just too controlling and meddling. How many other owners are so intricately involved with hiring/firing managers, broadcasters, trades, signings, uniforms, features of the ballpark? I could maybe tolerate his cheapness if he weren't so damn controlling. Want to pocket some money? Fine, but hire some competent baseball people and let them make the decisions. Players complaining about the broadcaster? Tell them to fuck off, it's not your business and leave it up to the media/broadcasting department.
