		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so keeping the vitriol to a minimum here, someone with a level head please explain to me what power Bud would have to force out Loria. I&#039;m too young to remember and too lazy to look it up, but he mostly forced out Marge Schott in the 90&#039;s for her racist commments, right? And we know he forced out McCourt for being broke.  I&#039;d love to see Loria go too, but is there a rule anywhere that Loria has to pretend he wants to win?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#039;t think anyone would be worse than Marge Schott, but Jeffrey Loria has outdone her. My question is why has Bud Selig not gone on to punish Loria and Samson? Up to this point the only punishment Loria got was a violation of failure to utilize shared revenue for players and that was only enforced, because the players union went after Loria. The punishment was a 3 year probation period which ended last season. What a surprise that as the probation ended Loria goes back to another firesale. I think it is time for a permanent probation for Loria while he owns any team.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was attending a Dodgers game in 2011 during the final months of the McCourt era and thought &quot;how vitriolic and intense would be the crowd reaction be if Frank were attending the game and his image was flashed on the scoreboard?&quot;

On Opening Day, Loria was sitting right behind home plate.  Does he plan to do that again?  Could he mingle among the fans without being verbally accosted?  

MLB dismisses Mark Cuban as a potential owner, but protects a clown like this.  By so doing, it does an incredible disservice to the game and to its fans.  Other owners should press the case against him.  He just made 14 enemies in the American League.  

Bud, exercise your &quot;best interests of the game&quot; clause and force him to sell.  The team&#039;s main asset at this point is the ballpark.  Loria&#039;s mismanagement has probably lowered the franchise&#039;s value to such a level that there should be no shortage of viable offers.]]></description>

How does: &quot;Upping the ante in the AL East is always bad for baseball&quot; equal: &quot;This will be viewed as a business decision that generates massive revenue first, thus making any attempt at judgement as to the ethical implications moot in the eyes of one Mr. Bud Selig (sic).&quot;
