No wonder the Dodgers couldn't get past the NLCS in recent years:

Mismanaged financially during the Fox years, the team started turning a profit again. But McCourt, already heavily in debt from the original purchase, borrowed more money against the franchise to cover an array of expenses, some of which held dubious value for the team. He reportedly owes at least $450 million.

According to various published reports on the divorce, the McCourts financed makeup sessions for Jamie, a hairstylist charging $150,000 annually for regular house calls, and the services of a Russian-born "healer" named Vladimir Shpunt who watched games on TV and tried to channel his special energy to the Dodgers.

In the beginning, the McCourts spent freely on upgrading the team, helping the Dodgers reach the playoffs four times in their first six years as owners. But the club started cutting back on player development, a Dodgers specialty, a few years ago, and the major-league payroll dropped 21 percent from 2008 to 2010. McCourt needed a $30 million loan from his team's television partner to meet the payroll this month.

Vlad Shpunt? Really?

 

[Y2Kev]

Rasputin put a curse on Russel the Muscle!

Vlad Shpunt? Really?

Holy shit lol. That "healer" is probably banking.

 

[talisayNon]

Why does Lee hit 3rd? I can't stand these stupid managers.

 

[Windu]

gonna get delayed

 

[Y2Kev]

Why does Lee hit 3rd? I can't stand these stupid managers.

A healer? Really? Boggles the mind how someone so dumb becomes so rich.

 

[Jangocube]

Why does Lee hit 3rd? I can't stand these stupid managers.

Because he's batting .211 with one homer, that's why.

 

[talisayNon]

hopefully one of those umpires get struck by lightning. let's see who's there.

meh don't know anyone.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

good job twins!

 

[BertramCooper]

So apparently we can beat everyone but teams in our own division.

Lovely.

 

[The Frankman]

The Mets have activated RHP Chris Young from the disabled list, and he will start Tuesday night against the Nationals in Washington.

To make room for Young on the roster, the Mets have sent RHP D.J. Carrasco to Triple-A Buffalo, and he will enter their starting rotation.

Regarding Carrasco, Alderson said he is being optioned in order to get him back to the level where they feel he needs to be at.

Weird... did he have a short ST? Don't remember.

 

[Sharp]

Padres without AGon are :jakncoke.

 

[hemtae]

Crawford goes 2-4 yesterday and then hits a homer today maybe he's stopped sucking

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Weird... did he have a short ST? Don't remember.

Have u seen Matt Harveys statline in the minors? No earned runs in 22 innings, 27 ks and 14 hits. Only one of them has been an extra base hit. Promote him to AAA!

 

[sangreal]

amateur hour

 

[talisayNon]

Mark Reynolds defense :jakncoke

 

[Y2Kev]

The angels against the sox is just bendover central.

 

[ProtoCents]

Go to eat Easter dinner and the Yankees game goes to extra innings. Cano with a steal? What is this sorcery?

 

[ViperVisor]

Jesus Heyward.

Wish he came out of his egg last Oct vs SF

 

[Windu]

KAPOW! Godward, i knew if he threw that curve again he was going to crush it.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

I like how Heyward buckled at the first curve he saw and then homered on same pitch. What a beast.

Also Doc is a monster.

 

[Jubs]

delicious.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Oh Tomko...

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Rangers announcer ;"this is a storybook ending to a long comeback, one that he hopes last at the major league level for a long time." Cue three run shot by the Royals.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Rangers announcer ;"this is a storybook ending to a long comeback, one that he hopes last at the major league level for a long time." Cue three run shot by the Royals.

Yeah that was pretty fucked up.

This new announcer sucks

 

[ProtoCents]

What is Philly doing leaving Doc in? And they are using Bastardo to close? What happened to Contreras? He hasn't been used in days.

 

[Windu]

ok take Ascernio out please.

 

[Nobility]

Phenomenal performance by Halladay, too bad he could not get the CG.

 

[cashman]

Well that game didn't finish up too well, but I'll take the sweep

Yeah that was pretty fucked up.

This new announcer sucks

For real, Rhads is garbage. Bring back lewin.

but anyways

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The save goes to A. Bastardo.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Normally I'd yell for Asencio to be removed immediately, but is's Linebrink warming up. So who cares really.

 

[Windu]

anddd he is still in the game after walking in a run. why

Normally I'd yell for Asencio to be removed immediately, but is's Linebrink warming up. So who cares really.

well kimbrel or venters should have been warming up, but i'll take linebrink over this.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Well that game didn't finish up too well, but I'll take the sweep


For real, Rhads is garbage. Bring back lewin.

Lost my favorite announcer to espn. That's Lewin right? Rangers looking good minus Feliz and Hambone. Jays series should again be interesting.

 

[dantehemi]

cant wait for cards red tonight! good way to end the weekend!

 

[FrenchToastDisciple]

Wooooo Twins win. Maybe they're finally on the straight and narrow.

 

[Windu]

sigh

THANKS FOR TAKING HIM OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME



fucking dumbass

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Yes, Fredi. Wait until he completely blows a 3-run lead to take him out. Not after the bases loaded walk.

I understand the bullpen is crimped right now, but good lord.

 

[carlos]

I understand the bullpen is crimped right now, but good lord.

Bullpen had a day off yesterday, he could've brought in Gearrin, O flaherty or venters
just plain old stupid managing
the marlins were right in firing him

 

[dantehemi]

Wooooo Twins win. Maybe they're finally on the straight and narrow.

when is delmon gonna break out? hes killing me in my fantasy league

 

[cashman]

nah, Nolan didn't like him so he gave him the boot. Props to Michael young for picking up the slack with Hambone gone and Cruz cold. Only thing that has me worried is our awful bullpen.

 

[Corran Horn]

Oh man. One of those days.

 

[mYm|17|]

longo coming back on friday.............thank you lord

no more felipe lopez

 

[vas_a_morir]

This game will get rained out. First Sunday Night Game for the Reds in 6 years or so.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

nah, Nolan didn't like him so he gave him the boot. Props to Michael young for picking up the slack with Hambone gone and Cruz cold. Only thing that has me worried is our awful bullpen.

Can't believe that fucker got rid of him. Guy had a good voice and showed passion at the right times. You could tell announcing wasn't a chore to him like a lot of guys out there.

 

[Jubs]

if we don't score here, I'm going to be very, very unhappy.

 

[carlos]

if we don't score here, I'm going to be very, very unhappy.

same here, but it wouldn't surprise me either

 

[Jubs]

Nate Mclouth, hitting machine.

 

[Windu]

Thank god.

 

[Corran Horn]
