He may be kind of a douche…but that douche has won a Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, NBA title, and the Prem in the last 5 years. I’d take it.

I don’t care if the owner is a douche if he spends money on players and stays out of the way to let the GM, coaches and manager do their job. We just had a douche with none of that other stuff.

Hopefully Mike Trout won't suffer with mediocrity anymore with new ownership at the helm. He deserves better than what Moreno dished out year after year.

One can only hope. Moreno made me stop going to games because of the product he has been putting out. Now I can attend again and take my son. Happy times ahead.
