Letters to Sports: More calls for Angels ownership change
Bill Plaschkeβs and many Angel fansβ desire for Arte Moreno to sell his ownership of the Angels is an overkill. Granted, us Angels fans have suffered under Morenoβs 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 Plaschkeβs column urging Angels owner Arte Moreno to sell the team hits the bullβs-eye. Clear, concise and comprehensive, it highlights most factors leading the Angels to the bottom of MLB. Most factors, except a significant one: Morenoβs 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, βjust donβt read The Times today.β

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

Dear Angels,
Iβll start off by saying itβs not you, itβs me. I tried staying faithful to you but Arte Morenoβs 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. Itβs not working and I must now turn my back and walk away. What we have now is a shallow affair and itβs 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.
