And now, through the miracle of chronosynclastic infundibulum pre-view, here are some scenes from the October 31st hearing itself:

McCourt and Selig together on October 31? I’m sure one will be in costume pretending to be a fan-centric Commissioner and the other dressed up pretending to be an ethical, responsible business owner.
Too bad they lack the imagination for more interesting attire. I have a few suggestions….

This ruling just means that other teams’ payrolls and books have aren’t relevant enough to this bankruptcy proceeding.

Which makes sense. The other teams make payroll and aren’t in court.

Send him back to Boston so he can collect parking fares and never let him west of the Mississippi again!

That's Kama. But she has to know you like that sort of thing or she goes to work on something else that you do like.

This has no bearing on the Anti trust exemption. that would have to be appealed up the chain and or Congressional action

The MLB enjoys an exemption from anti-trust laws since the Supreme Court said so in 1922.

McCourt is the sideshow that needs to be closed…permanently.

I’m guessing that McCourt’s attorney will next argue that the bankruptcy judge is holding poor, poor Frank to a “different standard” as well, since, obviously, everyone is out to get poor, innocent Frank.

Karma Frank, it’s a female dog bitting your arse.

With the obvious caveat that I’m not a lawyer, could this be a boon for MLB regarding 30 owners/teams as individual “companies” in a possible anti-trust suit? Or am I reading way too much into this?
