From The Sports Desk

Bums moving on radio dial:
The organization has agreed in principal [sic] to a multiyear deal with KLAC 570-AM, leaving KABC AM-790 after three seasons, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Fine by us. Now we won't turn on the radio & accidentally hear one of KABC's drooling would-be fascist talkers because we didn't change the station after the game. We'll get some of the buffoons who sport-babble on KLAC. A slight improvement.

Said former Brooklyn Bums failed to break 3,000,000 suckers at the Stadium for the first time since 1992. Whose fault would that be? Oh, right. His.
Major League Baseball on Friday asked a federal bankruptcy judge to order the sale of the Dodgers, arguing in court papers that Frank McCourt's plan to retain ownership of the team is "dead on arrival."

MLB does not intend to approve any sale of television rights that would help McCourt maintain ownership of the Dodgers, according to the filing, and the league could enforce its ability to strip McCourt of the team once it emerged from bankruptcy protection.
Best part of the story:
In a separate filing, the league asked that the Dodgers' bankruptcy attorneys be disqualified because they represent the interests of McCourt rather than those of the team.
May we run his ass out of town on a rail? Tarring & feathering optional.

And not from the Times: Doesn't appear as if the real Steve Harvey will be providing Bottom 10 rankings this football season, unless the Times is doing better at hiding the column than at almost anything else they do. We understand there's someone at ESPN.com or somewhere who does the same thing, but c'mon.
