we are the laughing stock of MLB and all professional sports

[mota_madness]

we are the laughing stock of MLB and all professional sports can you think of worse?

[bdavis621]

Until Scioscia and company are gone we will be.

[jshep]

Well, yes.

 

This still blows, though.

We just got shutout by the Big Nasty.

[mota_madness]

Bown bag's anyone?

[robblin17]

I actually think we really are. Maybe the Raiders are worse?

[tomahawksu]

The city of Cleveland begs to disagree. As well as Kansas City, Cincinnati, Portland, Buffalo, and countless others.

 

It could be much worse.

Since arte is a "MARKETING GENIUS" he should start selling this at the Kiosks and gift shops..

At least we aren't the Clippers... Oh wait.

Well, at least we aren't the Ducks... Nope that doesn't work either

[Fontana Halo]

Still more functional than the Miami Marlins, Oakland Raiders, etc

At least the Ducks have figured out how to run an organization.

I'd say best case we're the Lakers. Assuming we can Mike Brown a certain manager...

hell Oakland has a couple of super bowls... and last i checked marlins have 2 WS rings. 

[obanov]

Twenty-one games into the season and we have TWO road wins....

I thought you meant in the present. 

 

If you want to talk about being a historical laughing stock, there are franchises out there a lot worse, in our own division no less.

Rays also only have two road wins.

[Fontana Halo]

Rays also only have two road wins.

And less than half the payroll!

No, I think we've even surpassed the marlinsas far as being the most disfunctional franchise in sports. At least they make no bones about the fact that they're bad. We just lost to a team that was bitch slapped by the astros just last night.

I'm sure there are a lot of Cowboy fans out there wishing Jerry Jones would die already.

[notalpujols]

Hey, stay positive. This team is on pace for 62 wins! That's more wins than the Lakers or Clippers had this season?

[DEATHRACERCHEVY]

Sure it blows. But laughing stock? Doubt it. It is simply surprising that "the team is so talented" and we are basically doing nothing. There are plenty of teams that have done worse, past and present. The Marlins' and Pirates come to mind. One team has 2 WS and no one in that town could give a f***. And the Pirates haven't had a .500 season since I was born. The payroll issue is the most obvious. The Dodgers are in a heap of trouble of their own. The reason our flaws become so apparent is the fact that we aren't the "real" LA team so any shot they have to further discredit us the better.

 

It definitely could be a lot worse. Last year I was all on board with Scioscia. Now, not as much. I'm not sure things in Boston would be the same if Bobby was still the skipper. So maybe, just maybe it is time for a change. Also the focus on getting some kind of pitching depth helps.

As a Cowboys and Angels fan why am I stuck with two owners who simply don't get it?
