This is Becoming Sad

Anything bad that happens to the Dodgers makes me feel good. It's a part of being a Giants fan. The last four years have been spectacular for me. The Dodgers played in two straight NLCS only to be beaten by the Phillies twice. Then the Giants faced the Phillies in the NLCS the very next year, beat them, and won the world series while the Dodgers keep free falling into the abyss.

Then the McCourt divorce fell into our laps. Giants fans got to sit back and enjoy two phony's from Boston bleed the Dodgers dry of money to fund their own lifestyle while the baseball team fell apart. It was glorious.

Recently though the Dodgers are just pathetic. The fans despise the McCourts so much they completely quit going to Dodger Stadium rendering the old ballpark into Joe Robbie Stadium Sun Life Stadium. And now the ultimate indignity for the once proud franchise, bankruptcy protection.

"A mere three days before the payroll comes due — payroll that Frank McCourt can’t meet — the Dodgers have filed for bankruptcy, reports Richard Sandomir. With that, the legal game begins."

I used to enjoy the downfall of the Dodgers, but now this is just becoming sad. Damn you Frank McCourt for not allowing me to enjoy this! Hardball Talk has more on this could mean for the Dodgers and McCourt.

"Obviously the situation is fluid, and more details will stream in as the morning and day progresses, but for the time being, this could buy McCourt some time. Why? because a bankruptcy filing puts a halt on all legal action with respect to the bankruptcy estate (i.e. the Dodgers).  McCourt will certainly argue that this will prevent a takeover from Major League Baseball, though the court may decide differently when it gets a chance to weigh in, likely in the next few days."

Just sell the team Frank. You're broke. Your scheme has been figured out and nobody is feeling sorry for you anymore. Everything has been destroyed by your Tsunami effect. Your marriage, the Dodgers, Vin Scully's soul, and most importantly my hatred for the Dodgers. I hate that you made it for I actually feel sorry for the Dodgers and their fans. So do baseball and the Dodgers a favor and go back to selling parking lots in Boston.
