He is dead to me 

I don't root for Dodgers

The silver lining of these two signings are the anticipation of the euphoric schadenfreude I'll feel when the Dodgers don't win the world series.  
 
 

I won't be leaving to watch the Dodgers, don't like them or their fans.....  

Dodgers easily the most hated team now. Worse than the Yankees, Red Sox, and Astros combined now. Fuck them.

Best I can do is Alex Wood and Shelby Miller. 

Maybe

Every now and then I will find a old post by Lou and it hits me that he's gone. He was such a presence on this board and I still miss him

Defurral

He has a lot more than just an MLB team. I know you compare every billionaire to your boss but I’m sure that Arte, in his twilight years is happy with what he has accomplished in his life. 
Does he have disappointments? Sure. He also has a lot to be proud of.
Dude survived Vietnam and then started an advertising conglomerate which made him more successful than anyone else on this board unless Don Bren is lurking.
I can’t stand how he runs his baseball franchise but I’m 100% sure he sleeps better than Mike Butcher (who sleeps like a baby). He and his wife have been together for decades and his kids seem to have success while choosing different career paths. 
I’ll talk shit on his baseball decisions all day but I respect him for what he has accomplished in his life. Hopefully the next owner can translate their outside success into a championship caliber baseball club. 

I tend to think that he is no more and no less happy than he would be if he decided to start/run any other business as a hobby.  As a business, he's been hugely successful with the value of the team what, doubling, tripling?  As with any other business he wants to be perceived as a winner, but as long as the business model stays strong, he's satisfied, if not ecstatic.

Years ago when Ibanez was with the M's, we were in Perioa and it was raining a bit during Spring Training. He was the only player who stopped to talk to fans and sign autographs after the day was done. 

They’re not really going to do this slow leak whining bullshit about how “actually it was hard to have Ohtani” Jesus shut the fuck up. 
 
also Dylan Hernandez is a huge loser and I hate him.  

I'd say now he can walk back here and re-join the team, but he never walks.

You spelled Nut wrong.

I really don't care about the disproved allegations and personally feel that they should be a non-factor in any team's decision.  However, he has a history (not related to the recent case) or should I say reputation, of being immature and polarizing, at least that is the fan perception.  If the Angels can discern that he wants to move past that sort of reputation and feel he can be a good teammate, then I'm all for bringing him in.
