^ Spoken like a true Giants fan who has seen ZERO championships from his team in his lifetime.

A couple of other thoughts…
Although it is clearly speculation at this point, it is thought that new ownership would mean the management ranks would be cleaned out. If that means Dan Evans and Jim Tracy are sent packing, I could live with that – especially with the dismissal of Evans. I’d hate to see CEO Bob Daly go. Since he came aboard, he has made some positive moves like rehiring some of the old Dodgers to work for the team and trying to restore some of the Dodger tradition. He was a Dodgers fan going back to his Brooklyn childhood and it has shown. Undoubtedly, his role would be diminished or phased out under new ownership.

Another issue is the stadium. One of the prospective bidders had announced plans of building a new stadium near Staples Center, while at the same time dispensing with any sentimental feelings over the history of Dodger Stadium (which would become a new housing development). No word on what the Glazers would do but I’m in favor of leaving the Stadium alone.
