Bud needs to invoke 'good of baseball' clause in LA

As the McCourts' divorce trial reveals new levels of greed, financial chicanery and more, one of baseball's most storied, and most important, franchises is at risk of moral bankruptcy, if not financial insolvency.

Bowie Kuhn barred George Steinbrenner from day-to-day operation of the Yankees in the wake of the Dave Winfield dirt-digging fiasco.

So, if current commissioner Bud Selig wants to push it, I believe he could force the McCourts to sell the Dodgers.

He should.

Now, if Peter O'Malley could just line up a consortium of buyers.

Proof that A-Rod disappears in the ninth inning

We all know A-Rod sucks in the clutch

And now, Jeff Passan spells it out in 100-point stats, not agate.

Well, A-Rod, your sugar dad Georgie-o signed you for a 10-year renewal a year ago, before son Hank could have him ruled non compos mentis, chloroformed, or whatever.

Looks like a shotgun wedding of nine more years of hell, unless Hank will pay about half your contract to some other team in the trade.
