Joe Torre has resigned from his job with MLB to pursue ownership of the Dodgers, according to a press release. Torre served as the Dodgers' manager from 2008-10 and was appointed the executive vice president of baseball operations for MLB in February last year. Joe Garagiola Jr., Kim Ng, and Peter Woodfork will assume Torre's responsibilities as MLB searches for a replacement.

Wow...I didn't see that one coming, I figured he had the best of all possible jobs and was in line for Bud's job

If you could own a big market team or be a Commissioner, you take the option to own.

[Palodios]

I agree with Dojji. Selig has gotten a ton of s*** over the years.

Thats because Bud's a asshat.

Thats because Bud's a asshat.

 

This is true.

[Dojji]

When was the last Commissioner of any sport who was popular in his day.

Thats because Bud's a asshat.

 

This statement is so true. Although I am not familiar with the term "asshat". It is sort of like "pop" in that regard.

When was the last Commissioner of any sport who was popular in his day.

 

Rozell?

Rozell?

I think you are right on that. The owners, players and fans I think appreciated his contribution to the building of the NFL.

[yeszir]

He has enough money? I wonder who else would be part of the ownership group.

The Commissioner before Goddell(I'm not even trying to spell his name) was fairly popular wasn't he?

 

I wank Mark Cuban to win or get some team(no AL EAst teams) at some point. I think he would be awesome for LA and/or MLB.
