Dodgers Pummel Twins; McCourt Better Watch It Doesn't Happen To Him

I wouldn't normally report on one single MLB game, but I thought tonight's Los Angeles Dodgers beatdown of the Twins was a bit symbolic. Could they have been picturing their owner's face on the ball itself?

15 runs on 25 hits was one of the best offensive games the Dodgers had played all year.  It comes on a day when their owner, Frank McCourt, had the Dodgers file for bankruptcy as an organization.

In a legal carnival that has lasted for months, McCourt has tried in every possible way to retain majority control of the once-proud franchise despite the fact that he can not finance the organization anymore.  He has spent almost all his money in a highly lavish lifestyle that he can no longer maintain, especially now that his soon-to-be ex-wife will be taking much of what he has left.

Because of his non-existent funds and greatly reduced income from ticket sales since this whole fiasco began, he can't meet the Dodgers' payroll.  He's been lucky to so far, but every month the players and employees have to wonder if they're going to get paid.  Millions are owed to players who have been traded or released. Even Vin Scully, Hall of Fame legendary announcer working for the Dodgers, is owed over a million dollars in salary.

The Dodgers are one of the most proud and storied franchises in the history of MLB.  Here's hoping this bum gets kicked out of the building soon and they change the locks.
