Possible Good News,
Not That One Should Hold One's Breath In Anticipation

From LAObserved (their emphasis) quoting ESPN The Magazine's Molly Knight:
Not one source was surprised when the split was announced." They hated each other from the moment they set foot in Los Angeles," says a former high-ranking Dodgers official. "There was a saying in the front office that the three worst days of our jobs would be when Vin Scully died, when Tommy Lasorda died and when the McCourts decided to split. There was never any question it was gonna go lethal."
Fucking social-climbing assholes. (And knock on wood w/ Vin Scully dying, OK?)

Oh, the good news?
* Also Wednesday: Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon, tired of hearing Frank and Jamie's lawyers bickering over money, said he might have to order the Dodgers sold to resolve the couple's pre-trial squabbling.

Granted, the chance of a not-asshole purchasing the team is highly unlikely. But:
In the six years he's owned the Dodgers, Frank has borrowed an estimated $390 million against the team, Knight says.
Mostly to finance their six (or so, can't be arsed) local houses. They also seem to have just given Dodger salaries to their mutant offspring. No new owner could be any worse. (You could look all this up in the L.A. Times Sports section, if you gave a damn, but we know you don't.)

While we're on it, this came before our eyes yesterday,
