So I was listening to "The Herd" on ESPN radio while driving to school the other day. They were talking about Joe Torre resigning from the Dodgers. His reasons: frustration with the team's brass; they're ownership. Don't worry Joe, I'm fed up with the bastards also. They've lowered the payroll every year & they expect to compete? They are crazy to think like that. I digress.
Apparently he had made his decision over a month ago but decided not to go public until the Dodgers completely fell out of contention in both the division and wild card race.
This, along with various reasons, reassures my belief that the McCourt's will sell. I'm saying McCourt's as in plural because apparently three documents say Jamie is co-owner & that's how I believe the judge will rule. The divorce trial is also guzzling up a bit of Frank's cash, and since he didn't have the money when he bought the team - it was revealed that he used loaned cash to buy the team from News Corp. - he probably won't be able to upkeep it, not that he does that know anyway.
I really hope MLB Commissioner Bud Selig intervenes and creates a scenario where they have no choice but to sell.
I bid you all farewell.
