I just read every bit of that link and all i have to save is; WOW, .. and Met fans thought they were screwed!

The Dodger’s are going to take a generation to recover from these imbeciles. Man I wish he brought the RS. Now it’s more clear why Selig “bag jobbed” the RS to John Henry.

In theory, but that harkens back to the Eddie Murphy bit (in “Raw”?) where he wanted to marry an African woman straight out of the bush so she would not give him a hard time. As I recall, the bit ended up with Umfoofoo demanding “Half! I want half, Eddie!!” So, the best laid plans and all that…

Or make sure you execute a valid Pre-Nup and/or Post-Nup. If either were done properly, the gold-digger would be on the street and the moron would be in control.

Hey Bud, put the beer down and do ONE decent thing in your worthless and ruinous tenure as Commissioner, and make McCourt sell the team. And, this time, to someone who has actual money, not theoretical or Monopoly money. You know, an owner you can be “proud of” rather than, well, this.

“Yeah, it seems that, given that the Dodgers are community property, Jamie McCourt has an interest in all of that and a right to obtain any information she can about the would-be deal.”

Jamie continues to allege that the Dodgers are community property. Frank continues to allege that the Dodgers are his separate property. No court has yet ruled in either party’s favor. The finding that the marital property agreement is invalid helped Jamie’s case but did not resolve the matter. There remain viable theories for Frank’s position. Until a court says that the Dodgers are community property (or the parties settle), please do not mischaracterize the Dodgers as community property.

This fiasco with the McCourt’s reminds me a of song the first 4 lines of the song say it all.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Granted she’s no raving beauty but as they used to say when I was younger “go ugly early”. Unfortunately for Frank it’s a lesson he never learned.

Even boneheads are able to buy baseball teams. What a country! I hope he’s fleeced for all the money he doesn’t have. The Dodgers would be in more stable hands if he sold the team to Charlie Sheen.

Two rules here. First, don’t get married. Especially if you are rich. Second, don’t do it in a community property state. There are 6.9 billion people on this planet. Over half are women. So the odds are good that most men will always have at least one. Why commit your life and your wealth? That is the true lesson here.

This is purely speculation on my part but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if there is a complete majority ownership change in both the Dodgers and the Mets (in 2 of the largest markets in MLB) within the next 18 months.

Why in the world did he put his money in there? Safer than an IRA I guess.
