Kudos to Arte

[yk9001]

He hasn't whored out the stadium name for a few sheckles a year.  The naming sequence for the new Comiskey is an embarrassment.

Have some pride, people.

This new logo won’t help the White Sox shake their second fiddle reputation

[Stradling]

Yep, capitalism is the worst. 

[tdawg87]

Arte is a great businessman.

[VariousCrap]

If they're going to renovate the stadium, I'm sure something like this will happen at Angels Stadium.

[Richard]

Does he own the naming rights to the stadium or does the city?

 

Edison International Field feels like a lifetime ago.

[Homebrewer]

When I saw the thread title I hoped it meant he was selling..

[ScottT]

Yuck.  

[ABC]

Give me loud billboards over the ear fucking Arte gave everyone in attendance with blaring in-between-innings-ads.

Reason #2 why I stopped going to games.

[Stradling]

I wish I had a passion for things that made me mad about silly things.  

[ABC]

Dude, you fly off the handle all the time here..and then send silly PMs.

[Stradling]

Yes any PM I would send you would be silly.  

[ABC]

tell me about it.

Don't undersell yourself. You have a great passion for rebutting any critique of the Angels on any thread in this message board.

[Stradling]

It's not any critique it's the critique that in my mind is lazy or just plain wrong.  

What I meant by my post is people are so passionate on here about things like , music at the stadium, buttercup, advertisements, Joe Buck, Harold Reynolds, any radio guy, any perceived bad call by an umpire or some sort of preferential treatment by an umpire, east coast bias and whole list of other things that I can't imagine ever caring about.  

[the dude abides]

What an awful name.

Sounds like an MLS stadium.

[zenmaster]

Probably not the best atmosphere to create by having a downward facing arrow plastered all over your stadium.

Got it.

We are all different. I am amazed at the umpiring threads. The Joe Buck and Harold Reynolds vehemence as well.  And the east coast bias stuff.

I don't care about buttercup either.  But damn, why does having Gubicza on the tv piss me off so much?  I have no idea, but it does...

 

Different strokes....

[Blarg]

Joe Buck is really bad.

Joe West is really bad.

Gubiza is really bad.

Buttercup is a really bad song.

There are 4 thread titles that won't get much argument.

 

[Stradling]

Yes Eric, but can't all of that be understood without bringing it up a dozen times in a world series thread?  That being said Joe Buck doens't bother me at all, Gubi isn't great but we've had much worse and I like the chemistry between the two, and I also don't care about Buttercup.  

[Taylor]

I'm surprised that last year the MLB didn't force teams to temporarily rename their stadiums Derek Jeter field.

lol

this is great

[yk9001]

Buck is a professional broadcaster.

Who is so upset with him, and what exactly are they looking for that he doesn't provide?
