But trying this case on what can best be described as the venom of an ex-spouse with an axe to grind..Well my advice is wait and see what the judge decides..NOT YELLOW JOURNALISM trying to make headlines with projections and innuendos that may or may not have bearing on the real case. That case being, who indeed owns the LAD. Many times i have been dissatisfied with McCourts decisions, but he has kept the young core intact, that in itself has meaning.

We have a nation of people like that. Brooklyn is right, none of us know how this will turn out. I can't imagine the law throwing Jamie out with nothing and it would surprise me if that happened. But, again, having watched what can, and does, happen in this world, I know for a fact people at the top of the pyramid make their own laws. I know how it was explained to me when I was there, and I have seen nothing with divorces between people in my pay grade to believe something other than an equal split, but I have been around long enough to know that some people are above the law. Is Frank? Who knows. Even Johnny Carson got nailed. And ask former Padre owner John Moores how it worked out for him. (Yeah yeah, the Moores case is nothing like the McCourt case - except for the fact that it is very much like it.) Mark, I think Frank will "win" ownership, if that's what you are talking about. But I am still waiting for someone, anyone, to explain to me how Jamie ends up with nothing. She has been in that marriage for 30 years, she is entitled to half the assets. Half the assets of a billionaire is a half billion - or 60-40 or however they decide to do it. Where does this money come from if not from the Dodgers? Much of their net worth is tied up in the appreciation of the team. In the mean time, Manny comes forward and says he knows he will not be with the team next year. And the explanation in the piece mentions the Dodgers financial situation. The Dodgers financial situation is right there for anyone and everyone to see. Some do see it, some refuse to. Manny is a DH waiting to happen, and if the Dodgers' wheels come off early, Manny could be a DH by July 31st. And Brooklyn, I can't do 500 push-ups and neither can Mark. Last year it took me a few sets to pay off that Blake/LaRoche bet. Even if it takes you a week, you can do it. And, it would be good for you. Step up to the plate and take a swing my man.
