I wonder what he thinks he can accomplish. He knows by now he’s done as owner of the Dodgers. Does he think he can leverage more money? It’s all going to Jaime after most of it is spent on lawyers in the mistaken belief it’s NOT all going to Jaime…so what’s the point?

McCourt is horrible even by lousy rich-guy standards, which are already at an all-time low. He’s a FAKE lousy rich-guy.

He’ll never buy anything significant in the sports world ever again.

I believe multiple entities have already tried a 2×4, I suggest upgrading to a 4×8. Maybe with some rebar reinforcement, just in case. McCourt’s head is clearly composed of rocks, perhaps even solid rock.

“Thank goodness there are plenty of 2x4s laying around.”

Not enough, for this guy.

Frank McCourt could complicate a grilled cheese sandwich.

You forgot about Jim “Hacksaw” Dugan with his 2 X 4.

It’s not really about what makes sense for McCourt anymore. It’s about being so angry he lost the team that he’s trying to ruin things for the next owner. He’s acting like the foreclosed on homeowner who trashes the house before leaving, or, perhaps more to the point, like a man in a messy divorce who drags things out to make life as miserable as possible for his ex-wife. I guess that’s what happens when the bankruptcy gets tangled up with a divorce.

At the very least, Craig’s gonna miss constantly recycling that stock photo of McCourt baring his teeth like an enraged Rancor.

No one should really be surprised, I guess. It took a certain kind of person to get into this mess. He had custody of one of the golden geese of baseball. He looted the goose pasture and bankrupted the goose farm. The notion that he would suddenly start acting with some sense, flies in the face of how he’s behaved so far. He’s still under the impression that he’s a competent business man. He’s trying to do what he think other business people do. What he needs is huge kick in the seat of his pants. I nominate Yoennis Cespedes to go kick him in the arse. From the looks of Yoennis Cespedes, after that guy boots you one, you stay booted.

I picture Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson following McCourt, by court order, at all times with his “Walking Tall” big stick (i.e. 2×4). Know your damn role, Mr. McCourt…or else…

Craig, admit it, you will miss McCourt just a little after he sells the team. Think of all the fun you have had writing about him. Hell, even the pictures you post of McCourt scream laughing time.
