  - I'm glad Manfred won't let Angelos move, but I just want the deal to be done. - Inigo Aug 9, 11:43 1
    - probably doesn't help that he also has eyes for the one city that MLB would want to expand into next anyway -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 9, 11:45
  - (they could totally remake Harborplace into something close to the Battery or LA Live but it's probably a much smaller footprint and not stadium adj.) -- nm - hollywood big shot Aug 9, 11:04
