Prospective Owners Pared Down: Gilbert, Cuban Are Out

PrintAccording to Bill Shaikin, Frank McCourt has eliminated several prospective owners including Dennis Gilbert and Mark Cuban.
Mark Cuban was eliminated from the Dodgers' ownership sweepstakes Friday, along with baseball executive and former agent Dennis Gilbert, according to two people familiar with the process but not authorized to discuss it.
The remaining bidders will now be vetted by MLB. Interestingly enough McCourt just saved GIlbert, Cuban, and whoever else did not make the final cut, $25,000 since they no longer need to pay MLB the investigation cost of a bid.
No word on if the darkest horse Josh Macciello is still in the running.
Not a surprise that Cuban is out given that Frank expects to sell the team for 1.5 Billion. Cuban may be flamboyant but at heart he's a self made businessman who knows value and it is doubtful the Dodgers at 1.5 Billion is value. As Cuban said back in November
"I don't think the Dodgers franchise is worth twice what the Rangers are worth," Cuban told The Times in November.
With the sale price supposed to reach at least 1.5 Billion that would make the Dodgers worth almost three times the value of Rangers who sold for $593 million.

Hopefully we get someone who wants to win
and not just make money.
Apparently, Garvey’s group has been eliminated as well.
Supposedly, 10 bidders remain but they might merge or party up to some extent.
Kroenke is a big sports guy and probably one of the richest; perhaps he would be a good owner.

Will our entire infield hit 25 HR’s this year?
Basing this on Ellis, Loney, Ellis, Uribe, and Gordon getting most of the starts.
I say no.
Loney will hit 23
Ellis 3

Uribe 4
DeJesus 2

I can’t believe how many home runs Dee Gordon is going hits in 2012 is a source of argument.

Gordon had the one ball he turned on in Minnesota (the game when all the Dodgers hit) that was really the only one I can remember him hitting that had any shot to go over a fence in certain conditions.
My actual expectations for Gordon’s home run total in 2012 is zero.

So just a few blocks away from where I live and work, a cement truck turned over Friday morning and in doing so knocked over a traffic light. It is the busiest street in the high desert, and that light was usually a brief stop for the passing traffic. Now, it’s a 3-way stop and has wreaked havoc for two days and counting with traffic.

How much money is Edwin Jackson looking for and why has he not signed yet?
Seems like someone would’ve scooped him up by now.
Cardinals just replaced him for $5 Million. Cards may not have Pujols but
Returning Wainwright, replace Jackson with Oswalt, sign Beltran, Furcal
If Beltran can play CF again, they move Jay to RF in a platoon with Craig, or use Craig against LHP at 1st base. All said they have done as well as they could have to make up the ground by losing Pujols.

What do you all think of Stan Kroenke winning, building a football stadium in the parking lot like Peter wanted to do and bring the Rams back with him? Thumbs up from me.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Scuttlebutt says he won’t make any commitments to staying in St. Louis long-term (not that that has ever stopped anyone) as opposed to L.A. I think “Farmer’s Field” is still a more appealing option than Chavez Ravine for a football team, but it’s possible.

I’d think a brilliant architect could make it happen but the ones that have been built so far did not work for baseball.

Just based on the Anaheim experience they have to take into account the seating for a full pleasurable experience for both fans. Going to Anaheim now and sitting beyond 1st or 3rd is a neck cranking exercise of extreme annoyance, yet I imagine those seats were great for football. Facing straight a head does not work in baseball if all you get to do is face the left or right fielder.

come on man, it was a picture of an empty stadium. Next time I’ll put a THIS IS A JOKE disclaimer up.
"We'll see" said the Zen Master
Oh. Fair enough. The comment was far enough away from the picture, I didn’t even realize you were commenting on the picture. I was just thinking it referred to the early years of Shea and the Amazing Mets, which were pretty popular.
i was born in 86 so I didn’t really get to see Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry, but I wish I had. Would Ron Darling have also been on those teams?
"We'll see" said the Zen Master
Someone will reply. Although I was around then, I wasn’t a baseball fan. I just know (and remember from the time – this much I was aware of) that the earliest Mets teams were ridiculously terrible – horrible, awful – and were still very popular with New Yorkers. They were fun, their awfulness was fun. Then, all of a sudden, in 1969, just 7 years in, they won a WS, and became even more popular, a rousing success.
I would imagine that chairs that are controllable direction wise would not be too expensive. Have each seat connected to a bar that could rotate them (in between games, etc, not with people in the seats), think like a locomotive’s wheels with the bar that moves them. I’m talking about rotating each seat on the spot, not moving it forward or backward as a part of the whole row.
The cost of the modifications would be less than the cost of a second stadium. Of course what Josie just posted works much better.

direction is easy-ish, but what do you do with the seats that sit front row for baseball but are just staring at the backs of personnel for football? if you don’t sell those seats, then the front row is too far removed from the action
"We'll see" said the Zen Master
You could always just have the seats higher up starting in the first row.

Given the Dee Gordon conversation how many players since integration have hit more inside the park home runs then over the fence home runs, minimum 10?
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
12 of Willie Wilson’s first 15 homers were inside the park. The last 26 of his career went over the fence.
Juan Pierre has hit 16 homers in his career and all but one went over the fence.
The cutoff shouldn’t be integration, but rather deadball/liveball.
Clyde Milan hit 17 career homers for Washington in the deadball era in a monstrous park. 14 of them are known to be IPHR.
career?
or in one season? i can’t imagine someone having 10 inside the parkers in on season.
Sam Crawford had 12 IPHR in the 1901 season for the Reds. 51 of his 97 homers were inside the park.

G how was the game today
I finally figured out what was happening with my swing today at the cage – itching to play!
our game was postponed due to inability to find an available field. Thankfully.
I’m nowhere near ready to throw to hitters. I’m doing this weird thing with my slider where I frisbee it up instead of throwing it with an aggressive armslot so it’s practically like me standing there screaming HEY EVERYONE I’M GONNA THROW A LOOPY SLIDER PLEASE DON’T SWING

Garvey’s out. Wonder who the fourth down will be.

Kinda glad he's out.
Never really liked the idea of him in charge. Wouldn’t mind seeing Orel at the top, though.

Yeah, I was rooting for him pretty much because of Orel. Now I’m split between Magic and Kroenke. I didn’t really think Kroenke would be such a serious bidder, but apparently he is.

And really, the only reason I want Kroenke here is so he can bring the Rams with him.

I don't know about Kroenke
I know him and his wife have money up the wazoo, but I would like an owner who’s focused on only the Dodgers.

Isn’t that an uncomfortable place to store money?

not if the stories I hear about prison are true

I wan’t the opposite
An owner focused only the team is going to be prone to micro-management and medling
I want someone who this is a feather in their cap, an ego stroke, a long term investment, and something that they let the little people who work for them worry about
if we get a Jerry Jones I will cry for Frank

Kroenke will most likely move the Rams back to LA. Whether he owns the Dodgers or not will have nothing to do with that decision.
There isn’t any evidence supporting this statement. I hope it’s true nonetheless.

I cannot wait for an owner to be chosen, the celebration and outcry together will be awesome
I expect bedlam
I expect a fat payroll……and eventually Joey Votto and Granick. I’m a daydream believer but don’t call me a homecoming queen or else we can “throw hands”
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
I want a 2013 rotation of Kershaw, Hamels, Greinke, Cain, Billingsley. Fuck Philadelphia.
"We'll see" said the Zen Master
That would be nice
I’ll settle for:
Kershaw, Greinke, Billingsley, Rubby, Withrow/Eovaldi/Webster/Lee

I’m thinking the same thing IVdown…….and Gary I lived near Philly for a long time so I really hate the Phillies!

I never liked the Phils pre 08, but since then my hate has grown strong

Good on you both. And yeah, I am against any non Rubby future Dodger rotation

Bride is getting hangry

Still chasing the dream of mediocrity

I pitched to Matt Kemp, and all I got was this stupid earned run.
@maddzgoesrawr @arenafitness @madeleine_arena
The possibilities are endless
Which classic 80s look do you choose when there are so many??

RIGHT?
IT’S GOING TO BE AWESOME

@maddzgoesrawr @arenafitness @madeleine_arena
Over the summer I totally wanted to go to an 80s club
and I did find out that there are like 3 or 4 in LA! Too bad I still haven’t gone yet

:(
I think I recall asking him last year…..I was hoping that could have changed over the last 12 months LOL.
I’m able to keep up with Maddz & Gary on there, whenever they aren’t here.

I have a facebook account, and it keeps telling me I have notifications, but when I go on , the only thing I see is people with waaaaay too much time on their hands. I really don’t want to tell the entire world what kind of a day I had. That’s what TBLA is for!

he is correct!
this is my one form of social media, well I am on LinkedIn but that’s no fun
I have nothing against it, just not for me right now

Aussie men's final
Almost 6 hours, longest men’s grand slam final in the open era.
Superhuman effort by both champions, Djokovic looked done in the fifth but pulled whatever energy he had in his exhausted body to win the battle of attrition.
He couldn’t move but willed the victory. What a treat.

Sunday mornings used to be a marathon of reading the LA Times. First: The Headlines and the front page, then the sports section -cover to cover, then the Calendar section. Now you can scan the entire paper (All thirty pages of it!) in about 10 minutes – Ads and all!
I wanted to be a Journalist once upon a time, and I loved the way the Times laid out their newspaper, but the Internet has killed newspapers, and I don’t think they’re long for this world.
