We will field exciting and winning teams.

Currently they have neither (sigh).

O'Malley struggled to run the big-market Dodgers (and ultimately sold the team) in the '90s when the Dodgers had $0 debt. It's going to be interesting to see how he does with the low-revenue Padres while likely carrying substantial debt.

When was the last time a team was exciting and a losing team?

So does Moorad get some of the sale price?

Damn, I wish I'd gone ahead and bought the Astros for the $680 million. That was a bargain.

Last night, if exciting = hilarious.

Wow - I saw the replay and I could have sworn this was archival footage of the '62 Mets!
