every team in baseball has to be bombarding them with the loopiest deals ever in the hopes that they just might be crazy enough to do it.

And I don’t see how it’s necessarily bad for baseball that the Dodgers have even one year of alligator-armed ownership in a major market. It might just help them grow an empathy bone or two.

Still can’t help shake my suspicion that the NL West will be the Rockies to lose, though the Giants have the pitching to take it.

When the McCourts bought the team there were rumblings on LA sports outlets about how this was all a ‘financed’ deal and the Dodgers weren’t going to be free spenders (and MLB liked it that way), so like the guy writes, the divorce just makes it that much worse (though the mainstream media will ignore it like the shenanigans that allowed a guy who ran the expos into the ground to get a second franchise)

Those same media outlets reported that when the dodgers were up for sale, a deep pocketed Angelino made an all cash offer that matched or possibly exceeded the McCourts offer…but this was a guy who supposedly would give the red sox a run for the money in the spending department (and could afford to easily). I have no idea if it’s true or something created to bad mouth MLB, but if so, I wonder if he’s still interested in the team, because Mrs Mccourt is going to get half of What Mr has, and he can’t afford to give her the value of half the dodgers so they’re going to have to sell…

Anyone remember the SNL sketch during the 2000 election recount about how Gore and Bush would share the presidency? It was a parody of The Odd Couple, I believe. That’s what the McCourts ought to do. Just because you’re getting divorced doesn’t mean you can’t have a working relationship, right?
