Texsox Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 He could walk away easily and play with his real estate, his family, do almost anything. Yet, he stays around. People getting shot? Stays Horrible team? Stays Firing his old friends? Stays TLR "health problems"? Stays Billboards and signs telling him to sell? Stays. No championship possibility for years? Stays How horrible is the rest of his life to keep doing this? I wonder if 2005 never happened if he would have been gone a decade ago. However MLB got Angel to retire, could they do the same for JR? It's for the good of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that maybe it has already set in, we’ve seen some bizarre moves by him with bringing TLR back and the hiring of a failed Getz. Who else would have done that?

It's impossible to make money owning an MLB team, but JR can't sell because the Capital Gains tax will be just too much. LMAO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked with my buddy who lives there. Be careful what you wish for. Personally my level of dislike hasn’t got to that level yet. Just my opinion.

He'll have an even smaller budget in Nashville, but will get a park for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stream, still use satellite and cable, you can watch them more than you ever could have in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They change the city it's over. I'll just watch Mariners games I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
