“The chances of a settlement always get better as the case goes on. Both sides get pounded, and they get tired.”
Jamie is getting her a$$ handed to her.
There will be a settlement soon!

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt claims his wife, Jamie McCourt, diabolically tried to strong-arm him into showing his love by giving her a piece of the team — at the same time she was secretly consulting divorce lawyers.
In Frank’s legal brief, obtained by TMZ, the Dodgers owner maintains his wife signed over her interest in the team, in return for getting sole ownership of more than $100 million in homes.
Frank claims in legal papers Jamie never wanted to buy the Dodgers in the first place. According to Frank, Jamie felt buying the team in 2004 was a “risky business venture,” because the Dodgers had been losing millions and the deal was insanely leveraged.
Frank says Jamie — a lawyer who has drafted marital agreements herself — was more than happy to sign the marital property agreement that gave Frank the team and gave her all the homes.
But fast forward to 2008 … the Dodgers became profitable while the value of real estate began plummeting. According to the docs, Jamie came to Frank with a proposal: “If we’re going to be life partners, we’re going to be business partners.” Frank says Jamie wanted him to give her half interest in the Dodgers but she would keep most of the homes herself. Frank smelled a rat and said no.
Frank claims Jamie was stricken with celebrity-itus and wanted a piece of the team, calling it “her ticket to become the mayor of Los Angeles, the Governor of California, and maybe even the President of the United States. To create the fairytale of ‘Brand Jamie,’ she recognized she had to rewrite history.”

I think you are starting to get a glimpse of what Frank’s case is going to look like, and Frankly (no pun intended), Jamie is probably going to be toast!
According to Dylan Hernandez of The LA Times, Hiroki Kuroda has had difficulty adjusting to pitching every five days (instead of six in Japan) and had essentially abondoned his forkball (which was his best pitch) because the American Baseballs were “slicker.” He received some sage advice from Hideo Nomo about both and may be back on track. Am I the only one who thinks Kuroda could win 15-17 games with a mid-3.00 ERA? Lawrence Delevingne, a writer at The Business Insider, sent me this link to his article The Nastiest Billionaire Divorce Ever: Jamie And Frank McCourt. It deals with the facts and not the rampant speculation that some of you state as facts. It’s a worthwhile read, if you want to know all the players in this process.

My 2 Cents:
Baseball seems to put Spring in your step when Spring is in the air. It’s been a long, cold winter here – I usually enjoy the winter, but my surgeon told me that the first winter would be rough on my hip and it has been a bear. Stiff, sore and constantly aware of it, I am. I am counting the days until Florida – March 7th, and then Camelback on March 20-27th. I will have the Spring back in my step when the Boys of Summer start reporting tomorrow.
“Pitchers & Catchers, Start Your Engines.”
Here are a few things to chew on until then:
“The reason (we didn’t offer arbitration) was we thought he would take it. At $12-13 million a year, we weren’t prepared to do that. And you know what, the people I’ve talked to since, that are very close to him, say that ‘You know what, he would have taken it.’ And I wasn’t prepared to pay him $12-13 million for one year, nor was I prepared to pay him $8 or $9 million for three years.”
Now, I suppose if you have been in the camp where you have accused McCourtof being Cheap and now wanting to sign draft picks (which is absurd) you now have the options of choosing one of three responses in order to save face, especially after what happened with Orlando Hudson:
You pick it!
Gagne received offers from the Dodgers and Colorado Rockiesafter separate throwing sessions in front of club officials, although multiple sources said his session for the Rockies was underwhelming. Not that it mattered, because Gagne had made it clear to the Dodgers that he preferred to pitch for them.
The move carries virtually no financial risk because it includes no guaranteed major league money unless Gagne makes the club in spring training, and it is difficult to envision him accepting a minor league assignment if he doesn’t. The deal contains an escape clause, allowing Gagne to again become a free agent if he doesn’t make the team, something that is fairly standard for minor league deals signed by major league veterans.
They say you can never go home again! Who is “They?”

His Game IS Over...
apathy, then you are at the opposite of love. Look, I don’t know who did what to whom… and I don’t care. Move along. Get on with your lives and quit acting like idiots. It’s all very boring to most of us.

Sure, Frank is probably no saint, but Jamie is a total idiot! I am not even going to get into it, and this is my final word on the subject until it’s finalized. What a waste of time and speculation!
