O'Malley's win the bid

[realmofotalk]

you might remember the O'Malleys as the owner of the Dodgers the last time they won anything.

I see you're not one to let the fact that the O'Malleys owned the team longer during the championship drought than either Fox or the McCourts get in your way of pretending as though the O'Malleys would have put the Dodgers on the same level playing field as the Yankees and Red Sox any more than the O'Malleys will with the Padres.

That's a lot of information to read from one sentence.

[realmofotalk]

Well, your sentence makes it seem like you're arguing that O'Malley not being the owner is the reason that the Dodgers haven't won it all since.

[HollywoodLeo]

My sentence argues that O'Malley was the Dodgers' owner the last time they won anything.

[realmofotalk]

So? And Kirk Gibson was the Dodgers' best player the last time they won anything. That doesn't mean they can't ever win again without Gibson playing for them.

[HollywoodLeo]

Did I say they can't win without O'Malley?

[realmofotalk]

That's what you're implying when you feel the need to point out the Dodgers haven't won "anything" since O'Malley was owner.

[HollywoodLeo]

The only thing I'm implying is that the Dodgers haven't won "anything" since O'Malley was owner.

[realmofotalk]

Your favorite football and baseball teams haven't won "anything" since you were born. Maybe you should kill yourself to change their fortunes.

They'll splurge on......Melky Cabrera.

Whoops.

I doubt it, we're not spending money as freely these days. We even made the Ms pay for Suzuki. The Sahwx however....

Suhx.It's so much fun watching them combust.

[Mach]

Whoops.

Well, to be fair, splurging for the Pads is like a 1yr/10MM deal.

splurge is a funny sounding word. So is word.

[Kingdom]

Word splurge.

Hey, they splurged on Mark Kotsay!
