There once was an owner named Frank,

Who felt that his revenue stank;

     ____________,

Let's hear it in the comments!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So he raised all the fees
'till we fell to our knees
and demanded he use a people-bank.

Mike Sharperson Lives! said...

he turned into a hater
pulled out his calculator
and made all the fans walk the plank

Dave said...

And he's paying for Schmidt
Who has really done (very little)
Which turns the best of us into a crank

Fred's Brim said...

he made a beach and a 'wood
but those weren't so good
maybe next he'll try a dunk tank

Nostradamus said...

So prices kept rising
and beers kept downsizing
but I hear his new pad's really swank

Dave said...

But we have a bison and ox
And a crazy legged fox
So Logan and Kim we thank

Steve K said...

To get fans through the gates
He cut parking rates!
But Oakland midweek? Well, no thanks.

QuadSevens said...

He's been the owner since '04
Ticket prices have soured
And no pothead would say that he's dank.

QuadSevens said...

I guess I'm still not awake yet. That should have said "soared" not "soured."

There once was an owner named Frank,

Who felt that his revenue stank;

So he went to Jaime a begging,

For some frolicking and pegging,

And now uses us fans as his bank.

There once was an owner named Frank,
Who felt that his revenue stank;
      yet he still overspends,
      and that lady from Friends,
is laughing all the way to the bank!

Eric Karros said...

So far Mr Customer's if my favorite.

Josh S. said...

But his team's best in the biz,
Despite Manny's bad whiz,
And for that he has BEAST MODE to thank!

or

He's tried "ocean view" seats,
And all-you-can-eats,
But we'd love him if prices just sank!

Keven C said...

He said, "Park for free!"
We bought a beer or three.
And he laughed all the way to the bank.

I'm having writer's block just now, so I'll throw my considerable cache behind J. Steve's limerick.

Matt said...

There once was an owner named Frank,
Who felt that his revenue stank;
So he sold some ad space;
Our stadium disgraced;
By an ad for a plumber in Burbank!

berkowit28 said...

I like J. Steve's best. it flows - no stumbling.

Neeebs (The Original) said...

EK loves the limericks.

MR.F said...

He went and signed Druw
But Druw played like poo
So then Frank made Druw walk the plank

Anonymous said...

There once was an owner named Frank,
Who felt that his revenue stank;
So he tightened his purse;
but with LA in first;
the fans won't all become cranks!

Jimbo said...

There once was an owner named Frank,
Who felt that his revenue stank;
So he signed 99,
Who is now doing time
'Cause he wanted to be Hillary Swank.

Unknown said...

so he private labeled the water BLUE
Along with the Pizza too
And branded my card from the bank

LLCoolL said...

He paid up for Manny
Who put 'roids in his fanny
For this we have Boras to thank.

Gibby's Limp said...

There once was an owner named Frank,
Who felt that his revenue stank;
He blamed it on Ned,
Put Ng there instead,
Let's give "FNCN" all our thanks!

RIP
