MattFancy Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 The Los Angeles Dodgers and Frank McCourt today announced an agreement under which Guggenheim Baseball Management LLC (“GBM”) will acquire the Los Angeles Dodgers for $2 billion upon completion of the closing process. The purchasing group includes Mark R. Walter as its controlling partner, as well as Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Peter Guber, Stan Kasten, Bobby Patton and Todd Boehly. Mr. McCourt and certain affiliates of the purchasers will also be forming a joint venture, which will acquire the Chavez Ravine property for an additional $150 million. The Los Angeles Dodgers stated, “This transaction underscores the Debtors’ objective to maximize the value of their estate and to emerge from Chapter 11 under a successful Plan of Reorganization, under which all creditors are paid in full.” http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/03/27/report-magic-johnsons-group-to-buy-dodgers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IONTOP Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ackley on pace for a 162 homers. Going to be a record breaking offense At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Mariners go 162-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ackley on pace for a 162 homers. Going to be a record breaking offense Great for my fantasy team but on the flip side, Justin Smoak, my backup 1b, is on pace to go 0/810 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Great for my fantasy team but on the flip side, Justin Smoak, my backup 1b, is on pace to go 0/810 Well that's your own fault. There are 15 first basemen I would take before Smoak ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well that's your own fault. There are 15 first basemen I would take before Smoak ... Well I also have Hosmer and Freeman. Nothing wrong with some depth with potential in going with Smoak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 What is the deal with starting "AMERICA'S PAST TIME" in Japan? IMO, that's one of the dumbest things in all of sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well I also have Hosmer and Freeman. Nothing wrong with some depth with potential in going with Smoak. I suppose. But starting Smoak should be the last resort. I think Hosmer is injured, isn't he? Anyway, how awesome is it to be able to talk baseball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's finally baseball season and Fantasy Baseball is my favorite fantasy season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hdf561 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thsi was ridiculous to start the season in Japan and then go back to spring training.... I cant do fantasy baseball to much up keep, to many players... Fantasy Football, and Racing are my favs it doesnt take as much up keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yeah you have to be really into fantasy baseball to play. Nothing is more annoying than managers that half-*** it during the whole season and don't pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be at opening day and not at work. And I will lie about it like Peter Griffin to Mr. Weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Somehow I thought they started on Mondays every year but last year most teams started on a Thursday. I retract my objections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=639992762858 That's probably because of all the heat they took today about the game not being on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 At least the game was on this morning. Colon had a pretty solid outing. 8IP, 1ER, 86 pitches. I know the Mariners offense isn't anything special, but that's a solid 1st start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have a feeling they will call me on using a sick day. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=639992762858 Meh .. really not worth waking up early to watch to bad teams. Especially if King Felix isn't pitching. And the Mariners offense is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Giants make Cain richest righty. Booya! :applause: http://espn.go.com/mlb/spring2012/story/_/id/7766104/san-francisco-giants-work-extension-matt-cain ---------- Post added April-2nd-2012 at 01:14 PM ---------- Giants general manager Brian Sabean has said for years his priority is to keep his pitching staff intact for the long haul -- and that hasn't changed. Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum reached a $40.5 million, two-year deal in late January. ---------- Post added April-2nd-2012 at 01:15 PM ---------- Now, if they could just get out from under that Zito contract (they have a buyout after 2013).
