Evils Has Left the Building!

As if a good fairy from a 60's Jay Ward cartoon flitted down and waved her star-shaped wand on Dodger fans everywhere, the Dodgers have been miraculously delivered from bondage from their ogre of an owner. The pointy-hatted sprite in question, Bud Selig, also seems to have sprinkled the Dodgers, themselves, with a mojo-packed pixie dust, evidenced by their 3 victories in as many days since the Selig Extermination Company came to the house. Ethier's 19 game hitting streak, Kemp's walk-off heroics and the re-emergence of veterans Uribe and Blake, along with stellar performances from Garland, Kershaw and Billingsley have made recently liberated Dodger fans actually wonder about the possibilities for not only 2012 and beyond, but for 2011. This is a good thing. Not that I'll go as far as to predict the team will finish higher than 3rd or 4th this year, but their chances of doing so have certainly been raised exponentially by the infusion of Selig's grace upon them. I would also continue to encourage fans to stay away from the ballpark until McCourt's office is cleared out and his ownership is entirely ceased to be. After all, we don't want to put any money in the bad man's coffers if we can help it.

Now to the shutting up part: Steve Soboroff, please shut up. You are an idiot. A rich idiot, granted, but an idiot nonetheless. You were stupid to accept the job as "Whatever, Whatever President of Whatever Dodger Operations" in the first place and now you're ranting about how unfair the Commish is being to your beloved new employer of all of a couple of days. Steve, you want to know why Selig is treating the cash-strapped Mets one way and the cash-strapped Dodgers another way? Because the Mets aren't run by douchebags, and the Dodgers are, that's why. Selig will never come out and say it, but plainly and simply, that's the reason. The Mets owners are being assisted by MLB because they were victimized by Bernie Maddoff and his Ponzi scheme. The McCourts ARE the Maddoffs and the Ponzis. Might I suggest, Soboroff, you jackass, that since you're going to have a lot of time on your hands, why not take a poll of Dodger fans who want the McCourts to remain the owners of the Dodgers? Hold on... Let's just find out what the population of LA County is... Ok, got it. You'll find the total will be 9,818, 599 - 6. So, that's 9 million, eight hundred and eighteen thousand, five hundred and ninety-nine people who want both McCourts to go, to six people- you, Josh Rawitch, Jamie and Frank and their undeserving sons. So, Steve, please, for your own good, just shut the hell up and go away.

And as far as the McCourts, don't you think it's time to take the hint? I'll quote the brilliant Dr. Seuss from "Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now?" ...

The time has come
The time is now
Just go.
Go.
GO!
I don't care how.

Frank & Jamie McCourt,
Will you please go now?

You can go on stilts.
You can go by fish.
You can go
in a Crunk-Car
if you wish.

Frank & Jamie McCourt
Will you please go now?

This is fun. Yes, McCourt, that litigious ass, will surely sue MLB and the Commissioner's office and he'll lose miserably while spending more money he no longer has. (This is if he doesn't wind up in jail) Meanwhile, Dodger fans can eagerly look forward to new ownership - god willing, ownership with a memory and a heart and, oh yeah... some cash. This is a good thing... to love the Dodgers again.
