CHEAP ASS BASTARD OWNER - PLEASE EXIT STAGE LEFT!!  AND THANKS FOR FUCKING UP MY TEAM!!!

HOUSTON -- Eyewitness Sports has learned that Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane could be on the verge of selling the team.

This past weekend, McLane signed a working letter of intent to sell the team to a group that would consist of a mix of local and out of town investors. The names haven't come forward yet, but we have found out that the big money is from out of town, where three to five investors would be involved, and there would be 10 to 12 smaller level local investors.

We're hearing the high end of the sale price could be around $700 million. They are in an exclusive negotiating period and have until the end of the month to come up with the money McLane wants or there's no deal.

On Monday, McLane told Eyewitness Sports anchor Bob Allen that the potential buyers would "have to show us that they have the financial capability to do the deal and they have to show us the people, because we'd only do something if it were really, highly reputable people and that there were a lot of Houston people that were involved in it."

McLane told Allen if this group could not come up with the money then he would be fine owning the team for several more years.

Allen also talked with Tilman Fertitta Monday who told us he is not part of this group and hasn't talked with McLane recently about the team.

The Houston Astros saw some of their most prosperous seasons under McLane. He bought the Astros from John McMullen in 1992 for $117 million. During his time as Astros chairman and chief executive officer, the team has ranked as the second-winningest team in the National League, and fifth-best in the majors. The Astros also played in their only World Series in 2005.

If this goes through, I will do an entire post of nothing but Happy Dancing Nanners.

I wonder if there is any chance that Angelos will sell?  Either that or get hit by a train..........


Glad to hear it for your team TW.  I am not an Astros hater.  One of my favorite teams in the NL.  :thumbsup:

He gets to have an opinion on my posts and/or the judicious use of emoticons when he reverses his cranio-rectal inversion and starts posting again...

Mine did as well until Monday when he realized his hookers in Atlanta had fallen through.

You should be a Chicago White Sox fan.

Now that it's already 2010, I can officially start saying it.  Wait till next year.

The Orioles are going to make a serious run for it this year!

The feeling I had upon learning that the Disastros may get a new owner was indeed orgasmic.  My pink petal parts got all tingly.

This transformation cannot be complete until the old school uniforms are being worn everyday.

Seeing those old school unis and speaking of the Astros..........Does anyone remember Mike Scott?  Dude had some wicked movement on the ball.  I never read it, but I heard that he did finally fess up to scuffing the ball.  Had one of the most wicked curve balls I have ever seen and his splitter was nasty.

This year is Bobby Cox's last.  All National League teams will succumb when they see him take the field, and pay their due respects to the greatest manager the game has ever seen.  The Braves will be undefeated this year.
