Manfred was in on the LionInTexas assassination.

I still don't understand how Manfred got the job in the first place.

He didn’t get to be Commissioner of MLB without having some skills in misdirection and a twisted sense of humor.

Very cool.  Thank you Mr. ManfuckHead sir.

allow me to be diplomatic with this. fuck rob manfred and fuck arte moreno. i'm glad i could step in be a voice for cooler heads.

[TempeAngel]

I mean, what do you think he's going to say?

Of course he's going to support Arte.

Why would anyone think any different?

[gurn67]

There are 4 teams in the AL West that wholeheartedly agree.

will any of you feel differently if the angels go 14-2 in extra innings this year and get into the playoffs because of it?

Because of what Manfred said about Arte? I'd be more than cool with it then.

There you go! 

If you have a better one or from a classic scene in a movie, let me know and I'll create the reaction out of that instead.

no, because it would give us enough wins to get into the playoffs.

 

* about having a ghost runner in extra innings; i don't really care what manfred said about arte.

nope, not at all. just curious since everyone here seems to hate the idea.

what if the idea of a ghost runner helps us win more games? that's the thought behind my question, nothing more, nothing less.

That’s what’s so great about AW, it’s a community.

He likes him cause he spends.

Truthfully I don’t think Arte is as terrible as currently perceived, he just has one really fatal flaw in how much he meddles or handcuffs baseball ops. If be stepped back and let others have more influence he’d be in the upper-tier of favorable owners.

He gave away in his answer why he liked him: "He had an amazing run over a number of years where he was drawing more than 3 million people."

The sad thing is, 3 million people is underachieving the attendance the Angels are capable of. If they were winning and had a quality ballpark to go along with Trout and Ohtani, they'd get like 3.5 million fans per year.
