This was pretty interesting. I am not sure how I would feel about him buying the Braves, but who knows? Money seems to be the big issue as I would doubt MLB would be against the sale even though it is not 2011.

Ted Turner is interesting and Cuban could make it exciting?

Mark Cuban unfortunately has no shot at owning a MLB team. Selig will make sure of that.

I sent Mark Cuban an email a couple of years ago when he was trying to but the Pirates and told him to buy the Braves instead. He never responded. But I love the guy, he would be great for whatever team he bought. Of course, the other owners suck and won’t let it happen.

I'd second that

I think the world of Cuban as a sports team owner. Say/think what you want about his blogging, his fines, his whining, Dancing With the Stars, loud obnoxious mouth, and “controversies,” but the fact of the matter is that until Mark Cuban bought the Dallas Mavericks, nobody outside of Dallas/Fort Worth knew who the Dallas Mavericks were. Now they’re a perennial playoff team, and a cash cow, instead of a financial anchor and embarrassment to the NBA.

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

Anything to get us back on TBS!

I wouldn’t mind this in the least – I tend not to like the idea of the Atlanta Braves as just a part of a corporate investment portfolio. I wouldn’t be opposed to Cuban either, as long as he would refrain from shoving stupid deals down the GM’s throat.

You think Turner buying back the Braves would get them back on TBS? If so, I will double my book order.

ONLY IF

We sign RainDelay’s favorite player, Raul Ibañez. Then Braves games would fall into the TBS motto, “very funny,” with highlights of Ibanez taking bad routes, dropping fly balls, and throwing lawn darts.
