That can be said about 99% of owners though, really. Look at Lindner and the REDS AND INDIANS. In the 90's we in OHIO had 2 great teams that contended every year. We had owners (MARGE and JACOBS) that cared and tried to field winners and in return they had sell out games, decent tv ratings and raised their downtown business brothers after game and pre-game revenues. Now, we have Lindner and Dolan, who squeeze a quarter so tight you hear the fucking eagle scream for mercy. Both are so wanting to prove they are small market and can't compete with big market salary teams that they try to field bad teams. (Sad thing is BOTH teams have proven if they have good players and a CHANCE, the stands will fill.)

A healthy Dunn, Griffey, Casey, Kearns and a decent pen. All Lindner had to do was open his wallet and get a really good SP or 2. Hell The Cards were weakened, the Cubs are weakening themselves, Houston is fastly becoming a non factor Lindner could very easily shell out some bucks put fans in Great America and go to the playoffs easily. Will he? Did He? HELL NO HE TAKES THE FUCKING MONEY CRIES ABOUT JR.'S CONTRACT AND LAUGHS HIS WAY TO THE BANK.

Marge wasn't rich but at least she knew how to field a decent team, spend money and show the fans what they meant. $1 hotdogs. How I fucking miss Marge.

Now, fucking Dolan promised to open his wallet this year because we were ready to contend and he's refused to. We watch Detroit better themselves, the Twins stay the Twins, Chicago's spending some money it looks like and there's Dolan, with pockets out crying how evil life is treating him and how he just cannot afford it anymore.

Well if the fucker can't afford the team and doesn't want to spend the fucking revenue taking the #2 best selling revenue team when he bought it, the #1 consecutive record holding sold out stadium team and turn them into cheap losers then the man has to go. Too bad Dolan, so sad Dolan you aren't your brother Charles and don't own Cablevision, shut the fuck up and sell the damn team if you can't spend money and field a contender.

Out of the 2 Dolan and Lindner.... Lindner pisses me off because he personally has money that could turn the team around and help his investment...... Dolan pisses me off most though because when he bought the Indians he knew he couldn't afford the team and that he was going to run it into the shit hole it was in the 70's and 80's. He can't sell now because he overpaid for the team and it would be probably a 50% loss... but he has to.
