MLB taking over Dodgers' day-to-day operations

[realmofotalk]

The people McCourt intends to sue ends up suing him. Jesus Christ, what a fucking loser of an owner he has become. I've never been so fucking embarrassed to be a Dodgers fan. I'm praying that someone, ANYONE comes along and buys this miserable couple out.

Frank McCourt got $30-million loan to meet Dodgers payroll - latimes.com

Sources say the money from Fox went directly to the team's owner instead of through the club to circumvent Commissioner Bud Selig.

Oh, how professional.

The loan marks the second time since the end of last season that Fox has provided money to the Dodgers owner so he could cover expenses.

This club is being leveraged to the brink of insolvency.

I'm reading that MLB is taking over the day-to-day operations of the Dodgers? That's not too bad. We saw how this kind of thing worked out when baseball took over control of the Expos. I'm sure everything will be alright.

They just announced that a MLB guy will be overseeing day-to-day operations on the Cubs broadcast.

Seems like Bud has seen enough.

Good news for everyone. The sooner McCourt is gone, the better for this franchise and baseball in general. It really is a shame to see such a storied franchise in such deep trouble. I know its not going to happen but could you imagine Mark Cuban in LA?

Now comes the shocking trade for Felix Hernandez and all is right in the world.
Okay, maybe not. But yeah! You got Selig'ed, McCourt! That's going to be a nasty blemish on your resume, you can put that right next to your other bullshit.

It gets better. It turns out that Frank secured that $30 million loan from FOX, using as collateral any money he is awarded from the law firm he is suing for drafting his faulty marital property agreement. Which could amount to nothing if, of course, he loses the lawsuit. What a buffoon.

Major League Baseball should have known better than to allow Frank and Jamie McCourt to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers back in 2004. - ESPN

Lets pool our money and rebuild one of the more storied franchises. Give the McCourts the same amount they paid since we'd be taking on all their stupid debt in the short term. The Dodgers should be an easy rebuild financially.

I maybe a Reds fan but baseball isn't the same when LA isn't any good.

[realmofotalk]

Yup, the McCourts pretty much personified the mid-2000's.

[realmofotalk]

Great, this dumbshit thinks he can fight Major League Baseball, his former attorneys, and his ex-wife all at the same time.

How is he going to pay for all his legal fees?

How is he going to pay for all his legal fees?

Exactly. He needs MLB's approval on any expense over $5,000, including lawyer fees.

RT @dylanohernandez: Selig vetoed the #Dodgers' deal with Fox, McCourt was told by Rob Manfred.

So now what? People aren't going to get paid?
