Thus we were ‘far more accurate. Also we didn’t hang around on any of those Wilponian posts days after everyone else had all moved on getting the last word and proclaiming ourselves the victor.

Maybe it’s for the best that no one volunteered to be Frankie’s mouthpiece. Only so much sanctimony, smugness and ‘LOL’ we can all take.

The funniest thing about the apologist telling us how wrong we all were is that the Wilpon deal ended up almost exactly how we all said it would. Weird.

In 2011, the devil came to collect and took the Dodgers from McCourt. They should let Matt Stairs change the locks on Dodger stadium just to bring this whole thing full circle.

Keep your fingers crossed Dodgers fans that Selig can keep his monkey wrench in the Fox deal long enough to keep it from going through to that Mc Broke can miss a payroll, giving baseball the right to seize the franchise.

No one loves McCourt. No one. When we get into a good session of Wilpon bashing we can semi-count on a certain apologist to turn up and point out in excruciating detail how wrong we are (LOL etc) and go on like he invented the law, editing, grammar, biochemistry, share trading and advanced economics; it’s like the Professor from Gilligan’s Island has joined us or something. But no one does that for poor old Frank.

Frank needs that guy. Anyone want to volunteer? These posts are so much livelier when a Professor turns up…

It’s Manny’s last act and this one thing should put him in the HOF!

Frankie, baby, it’s time to go.

Paul isn’t going to be happy about that.
