Thank You. It used to be that even when we were Bad, we could fall back on the Integrity, Grit, and Honor the Dodgers exemplified. Not anymore, and not really for a long time….

It’s the fact that McCourt never had the money to buy a premier MLB franchise. The Dodgers are mortgaged to the hilt and the payments are crippling the franchise.

We are skating by on luck right now. A great crop of young players have all come up at once. However, the debt payments are already precluding investment to re-stock the farm and will soon result in failing to lock up the young stars beyond their ARB years.

It’s not the divorce…it’s the basic finacial structure of the team.

This divorce could be great for the franchise if the McCourt’s are forced to sell.

All I want for Christmas is Mark Cuban to pick up the phone

Hot dog carts>Juan Pierre, so I still think the Dodgers did okay on that trade.

Giving up Josh Bell for George Sherrill just so Baltimore would eat salary?

The Orioles didn’t eat any salary in the Sherrill trade. The Dodgers paid the remainder of his contract (roughly $991k).
