The McCourts: Trouble in Dodger paradise





The day after his team lost to the Phillies, Dodger chairman Frank McCourt fired his wife Jamie McCourt as CEO of the team.

An ESPN report stated that the McCourts are going through a divorce and the team is one of the things in limbo.

Previous reports stated that by Califorina law, the team could end up being community property with each party owing half of all assets acquired during the marriage.

After news of their separation last week, L.A. times reported that Jamie McCourt might try to gather investors and buy out the team.

One tiny ray of light in this situation is that Frank McCourt said that this would not hurt the Dodgers financial means, personnel moves or management.

They can only hope he's right.
