Do McCourts Have Something to Build on?

Tell me it isn’t so, Joe. Twenty-five years with the McCourts? More like five more years of minor league baseball until they develop the land then sell the team and land for a run at the Red Sox.

Any housing built in Chavez Ravine should include a significant affordable component. Beyond the dire need for such housing in the city of Los Angeles, it would serve as a symbolic replacement for the Chavez Ravine housing stock destroyed by the city prior to their essential gift of the land to Walter O’Malley in the 1950s.

The last time I went to a Dodger game, the hallowed history of the Dodgers was pictured on the outfield wall. Now we have the hallowed history of every advertisement Frank McCourt could sell space for.

If McCourt owned the Yankees, he would rip out the monuments and put in a Denny’s.

I know what’s next: a Wal-Mart across the Dodger Stadium parking lot in the center field background.

Heartfelt thanks to the clueless Paul DePodesta for systematically destroying my team. I’m particularly embarrassed to sport my Dodger blue after Wednesday’s debacle. As if the weekend in New York watching Jose Reyes and the Mets run wild on our catchers and pitchers wasn’t bad enough, Wednesday was the final insult, with Ryan Freel given virtually free rein on the basepaths, leading to another excruciating loss.

Thanks again for trading our No. 1 catcher (Paul Lo Duca) and our No. 1 catching prospect (Koyie Hill). You had to get rid of Shawn Green too, so at least let us see what Dioner Navarro can do. DePodesta is delusional if he thinks we’ll be fine when Jose Valentin returns, and J.D Drew in September.

But he can trade Jeff Weaver any time now.
