Bill Plaschkeโs and many Angel fansโ desire for Arte Moreno to sell his ownership of the Angels is an overkill. Granted, us Angels fans have suffered under Morenoโs ownership, and the Angels would be better off with new ownership, but over the years Moreno has done many positive and charitable things. I suggest that the Angels provide Moreno with a 10%, non-voting interest, regardless of who the new owners might be. That way the fans are happy, and Moreno will still have a rooting interest.

Bill Plaschkeโs column urging Angels owner Arte Moreno to sell the team hits the bullโs-eye. Clear, concise and comprehensive, it highlights most factors leading the Angels to the bottom of MLB. Most factors, except a significant one: Morenoโs ownership incompetence has been facilitated by the group of sycophants he has apparently surrounded himself with. These same people are now hard at work imploring Moreno, โjust donโt read The Times today.โ

If Bill Plaschke were an attorney delivering closing arguments at a jury trial, his recent article regarding Arte Morenoโs ownership of the Angels would certainly produce a verdict. The jury has reached its decision: the defendant must sell the team.

Dear Angels,
Iโll start off by saying itโs not you, itโs me. I tried staying faithful to you but Arte Morenoโs interference in our relationship has clouded my better judgment. I thought I could stick it out knowing how hard you are working trying to reel me back in. Itโs not working and I must now turn my back and walk away. What we have now is a shallow affair and itโs not fair to you that the charade continue. In the end, I take great comfort in knowing someday, somehow you will find what you are looking for.
