Dodger Blues...

Lets rewind real quick. Lets turn back the time to May 18th 2011 when the Dodgers played the Giants.. their biggest rivals. Now every time I step foot into the stadium when the Dodgers play the Giants, the arena is packed, there's hardly any room to move, so when my good friend Minh drove me to the game I anticipated the arena to be filled up. The worst image I could of seen as a loyal Dodger fan, the arena was barely half filled up. There are hardly any Dodger fans. I saw our ace Clayton Kershaw pitch against Giants pitcher Matt Cain. Not only did Kershaw give up four earned runs, but when we made a nice comeback against one of the top tier closers in the league, Mr. "Fear the Beard" Brian Wilson in the 9th inning we ended up losing when our then closer Lance Cormier gave up three earned runs. I know what your thinking, just another baseball game, isn't there over 100 other games? The thing that disturbed me the most out of this game was the fans there. . "Frank McCourt is totally screwing us over" "Dodger fans don't deserve this" You know what! I totally agree. Its time for Frank McCourt to let go. However we are at a Dodger game and we'll suppose to be talking about who the heck is Lance Cormier? What's going on with the Dodgers? Wheres Johnathan Broxton, Hong-Chih Kuo, and Vincent Padilla? How did we blow this game against the Giants?! Instead we'll talking about Mr McCourt.

Bud Selig and Frank McCourt aren't the closest of friends

Sad thing about this mess is that he won't let go. Not without a fight at least. What your probably thinking is, when is this finally going to end? When are we going to be contenders again? What is going to happen to Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp once they become free agents? Are we going to resign them or just let them leave since we don't have any money to keep them? This is a HUGE mess and trust me when I say it, it's only going to get worse. You think we hit rock bottom with the Giants on top of the NL West standings and us stuck 12 games behind, think again! The best thing Frank McCourt could do is to sell the Dodgers, get whatever he could get and just let go. If you look at the numbers and the situation at hand, you have to believe that he doesn't have much of a choice but realize that its over. Without the Fox deal, which MLB has denied already, he doesn't have the money to keep the Dodgers afloat. Now what are you thinking? If Frank McCourt does not have the money to pay the Dodgers payroll, whats going to happen to the Dodgers? Basically MLB will make the payroll for him, which will allow MLB to take over the Dodgers baseball team and force Mr. McCourt to sell the team. Now are you thinking this is the best scenario? Wait just a second!! Who owns the parking lot in Dodger Stadium? Mr Frank McCourt. Who owns the property the Dodger Stadium is built on? Mr McCourt. Basically imagine this, your worth multi billion dollars and you love sports and have money to spend ::cough:: Mark Cuban ::cough::. Would you want to buy a team like the LA Dodgers and deal with the property owned by the bitter previous owner? Why deal with that, shoot if I'm worth billions, I don't have to deal with this. That's basically what baseball has to deal with. Unless Frank McCourt gives up and finally lets the Dodgers go, I don't see this team going anywhere and being owned by anyone else.

Don't leave us..

What does this mean to us Dodger fans? This basically means that help isn't coming. This basically means that we won't be in the trade market to improve our team. This means that when Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier are both eligible to be free agents, I doubt the Dodgers will have any money to keep them. What about the Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols sweepstakes this winter? Seriously? The Dodgers are struggling, and there isn't help on its way. When we look back at everything the McCourts have done for us, such as bring Manny Ramirez, Nomar Garciaparra, Jeff Kent, and Joe Torre to us, its understandable that he really did care about the Dodgers and wanted to help us win. The problem is that he has to realize now that his time with the Dodgers are over and its time to let us go. Unless he wants to join Donald Sterling and become one of the most hated owners in Los Angeles, just sell us. You made your money, and the Dodgers are worth a lot more than what you paid for it (430 million in 2004). When Frank McCourt realizes this and lets us go that's when the Dodgers fans could finally breath a sigh of relief and anticipate the next owners and see how he/she helps us, but until then, Frank McCourt will keep fighting and the Dodgers blues will just keep on rolling. Dodger fans deserve more than this..
