Clo,

That was the absolute top story on the drive-time home tonight. It has been like a soap opera these past couple of years watching Frank McCourt make a fool of himself with his divorce and shady business deals. When he borrowed $30 million from Fox Sports to cover the payroll that was bad enough, but when it was disclosed that the loan was to HIM personally and not the team, meaning that he could spend it on whatever he wants to, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Major League Baseball Takes Over Operation of Los Angeles Dodgers

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig said Monday that he would
appoint someone to oversee all operations of the Los Angeles

is also strongly considering forcing the sale of the team by
invoking his "bests interests of baseball" powers to wrest
the team from Frank McCourt, the owner since 2004, who he
believes has mismanaged the franchise while enriching
himself.

Selig said in a statement that he informed McCourt of his
decision, which he said was made to "protect the best
interests of the club, its great fans and all of Major League
Baseball."
