he’s one of the hacks now calling us bad for the sport lol fuck off.
People forget how big a mess it was. This tweet is before it got even worse!
This is right before to royals won too right?
Damn he’s been using the same pfp for 15 years now?
The switch up is crazy
People forget things were very bad for awhile back then.
If mccourt really did switch the coke at Dodger stadium for rc cola, he’s truly a terrible, piece of shit man.
It’s wild that despite all the drama surrounding McCourt the Dodgers were still successful. Didn’t they announce his divorce in the middle of the 2009 lcs against the Phillies?
That’s what happens when you put a clown show in power. Too bad people never learn.
Royals are doing ok too hahahah. Back to back World Series 14-15
The man was speaking truth.Â
As a fairly new baseball fan can someone fill me in?
I had a Mark Cuban Save The Dodgers t-shirt back then. All in all, glad it panned out the way it did 🙂
Shit was embarrassing, but Im proud of the fanbase for taking a bit of a stand when the team was a mess.
This is why we’ll never feel bad or embarrassed about our current success. This is on top of being cheated out of 2017.Â
I don’t remember any Dodger fans crying about a salary cap when the Yankees, Rangers, Red Soc were singing everyone
Look at the yankees from 1920-1960
From the 1920 through the 1960 seasons, the New York Yankees compiled a regular-season win-loss record of 3,884–2,404.Between 1920 and 1960, the Yankees won 18 World Series titles.
^^^^^^^^
WHEN you look at their trades, dirty dealings, and how much they played their players it’s just astonishing people are complaining about the Dodgers now when we aren’t even close to how egregious the Yankees were in that span of time.
Seriously just go and read the history book on baseball and you will find a similar pattern of dominance per an era. This is just one example.
The other issue is it’s baseball. Nothing is guaranteed. We fixate on over 500 because you can have a 513 winning percent make it to the post season and win the world series. (2006 Cardinals)
We have won over 110 games and lost in the playoffs in the NLDS. Only 3 teams with 110 wins or more 1909,1927,1998 have won the world series with that kind of regular season success. Compared to the 1906, 1954, 2001, and 2022 teams that lost even with an outstanding roster.
Here is the kick in the nuts. Past performance is not an indicator of future outcomes in baseball. IE Mookie Betts last season. His metrics were all worse except that he hit one more HR from 24 to 25. There is a chance that he will decline more this year (I know he was sick at the beginning of the season with the Japan trip and that ultimately hurt his season) because he is getting older. This is true for Freeman, Muncy, and a number of our other players.
The Dodgers do so well because of Andre Friedman and his ability to balance everything in regards to draft, free agency, trades ect., Our real talent is our management. Having such a deep org allows for us to sign so many super stars. We actually don’t need draft picks for a whole year and we will excel. That’s basically what we are doing in the next draft with the Diaz signing and Tucker signings.
TLDR; Nothing is guaranteed were not the Yankees from the golden era of baseball. We don’t have the same tools as those early franchises More wins don’t equal post season success. Previous performance isn’t guaranteed year to year. This is still baseball.
Look, being a fan during the McCourt years is what makes you tolerable during the current dream team
Sure, hindsight is 20/20, but we’re truly living in the best case scenario that came from this situation. I spent my formative years living in a world where the Dodgers were a middle-of-the-pack NL West team where the Giants were the team to beat, and looked like they would continue to be for a long time. The day the Dodgers filed Chapter 11 way back when was I think one of the only times sports brought my father to tears, and this in itself was impressive because he had a lot to sob about by nature of also being a Dolphins fan (don’t ask, it’s a long story). It really did look like the beginning of the end, or at the very lease an “out-of-the-frying-pan” situation where the odds were decent that things would likely get worse before they got better.
That they’ve rebounded even half as well from the McCourt ownership era is something worth celebrating. That they’re where they’re at now is frankly nothing short of a miracle.
I’ve been waiting since 1988 for a run like this. Then 15 years of winning the division but coming up short in October. If this is the demise of the sport then let’s go out on top.
Frank McCourt, bankruptcy… was the dark ages for us dodger fans.
I remember being so worried they wouldn’t be able to make payroll and pay Ethier and Kemp and they would be able to just leave middle of the season
Man. You have to be such a fucking idiot to not be able to print money with the dodgers man
We as fans have been so blessed with the Guggi group and with AF leading the way.
I’m also a Royals fan alongside the Dodgers and I hope that someday both teams are crushing it at the same time!
Wiped my entire memory clean from that awful shitshow. Note: never let east coast wannabe rich guys near our franchises again. Especially Boston parking lot owners.
I did end up boycotting the team until he sold them.
And the Royals won like 4 years after this.
Bring back the $2 pavilions back!!!!!!
Praise allah it’s good to be a Dodgers fan in 2026.
Most fans have no clue what we dealt with. Look at our teams turn around and look at some other teams that have had decades and could never turn it around because their new owners decided to make their team a slush fund. The Twins and Pirates have two of the richest families in the league and the Blue Jays are owned by Rodgers media which is essentially Canada’s AT&T. These owners aren’t starving. One reason why I don’t think a lockout is happening is 10-15 owners love that the Dodgers are giving them more shared revenue.
