Speaking from experience?

And I mean, she had to have done something really +!%$#% up for him to do her like this. Considering that he's trying to publicly embarass her at hispoint, It's fair enough to assume she +!%$#% somebody. Steinberg?

Los Angeles · Oct 23, 2009

lol steinberg

caught cheating too many times, i fail at being sneaky.

i'm done, but seriously its the same +%#+ all the time.

you feed these weak women what they wanna hear especially when they're vulnerable as hell, ex jamie mccourt, who probably got no lovin from frankmclovin'

ooiron manoo · Oct 23, 2009

They are going to have to let the market for an Ace develop.

The market is thin right now.

John Lackey is not the answer, no thanks.

I wouldn't mind making a run at Erik Bedard.

Getting Joakim Soria wouldn't be bad either, but I doubt they will take Sherrill and what is the point of having three closers

As far as the McCourts.....mudslinging at it's finest.

p mac one · Oct 23, 2009

Logan White drafted Erik Bedard when he was with Baltimore, and he even suggested that Aaron Miller could be "a pitcher like Bedard" when we draftedhim this June.

Logan did say he would stake his reputation on Kuroda before we signed him.

I'd imagine we'll at least kick the tires.

I love offseason speculation, moreso than the transfer window in FOOTball . That's intense.

But with all of these shenanigans going on with the McC's -- it makes me uneasy.

dunkaroos · Oct 24, 2009

Like they used to say in Brooklyn: Maybe next year.

QFT

and explain to me why yall wouldnt want John Lackey?

cincoseisdos · Oct 24, 2009

Me personally, i'm a fan of the McCourts

From being with FOX to where we are now. Think about it.

sinser13 · Oct 24, 2009

Dodgers' GM Ned Colletti said he "doesn't anticipate any cutbacks in resources" despite the drama between the McCourts, according to the AP(via ESPN).
Dylan Hernandez of The LA Times says that impending free agents Orlando Hudson and Randy Wolf are expected to "depart to greener pastures."

I think he's good, but his name doesn't yell out "ace" to me. Is boras his agent?

Los Angeles · Oct 24, 2009

^Na, Bora$$ isn't his agent.

I do like the market though, its just really gotta play out:

Bedard
Harden
Marquis
Lee (Phillies gotta extend him after what he's done for them)

and the unpredictable dudes:
Webb
Sheets

Both coming off injuries, depending on what kind of contract they demand (incentives) they should be a low risk high reward type guys.

in yo nostril · Oct 24, 2009

john lackey, right now, is better than any pitcher on this team. whats not to like about that?

cincoseisdos · Oct 24, 2009

Bring on Webb, fat incentive contract.

I like Lackey.

Lee will have his option picked up by the PHils , i believe it's only $8mil

mfr3shm · Oct 24, 2009

Do you guys want Derek Lowe back he's on the trading block...

p mac one · Oct 24, 2009

^ He doesn't want to be here.

It's not that Lackey isn't good. It's that we don't have the money to pay $15 mil a year for a pitcher with all of the arbitration raiseswe're going to have to pay.

p mac one · Oct 24, 2009

My dream off-season:

Ned unloads Sherrill for 2 top 50 prospects, saving about 5 million.

Ned deals Pierre for something, anything.

Ned trades the prospects he got for Sherrill to acquire Halladay

We go into the season with the prospect of a Belliard/DeWitt platoon at 2B.

[h1]Romance in McCourt Divorce[/h1]
Posted Oct 25th 2009 2:30AM by TMZ Staff

Frank McCourt's wife, Jamie, may have unceremoniously gotten the ax as CEO of the Los Angeles Dodgers, but she is clearly trying to move on with her personal life.

We got these pictures of Jamie yesterday, lunching in Malibu with Jeff Fuller -- the new guy in her life. Now, in the awkward department, until recently Jeff was the Director of Protocol for the Dodgers.

We're told Jamie and Fuller began seeing each other after she split with Frank. Fuller was fired from the Dodgers in mid-October.

BTW, Fuller's late mom was an heir to the Pillsbury fortune ... translation, he's loaded.

As for Frank ... he was lunching yesterday in Laguna Beach with some dude at Hotel Montage.

Who thought this would end well for the benefit of the team?

TMZ is doing WORK, anything and anywhere they go / do TMZ will be there.

They've already gotten to the bottom of who her side piece is

Frank already in praying position.

laker4lifeman · Oct 24, 2009

For one second I thought that dude was Carson Palmer

.

Los Angeles · Oct 24, 2009

On point, I was thinking who he reminded me of

All I had was:

Spoiler [+]

[h1]Yusei Kikuchi To Stay In Japan[/h1]
By Zach Links [October 24 at 10:05pm CST]

Highly touted left-handed pitcher Yusei Kikuchi has announced that he will stay in Japan after meeting with eight MLB teams and 12 NPB clubs, according to Kyodo News. Kikuchi chatted with the Red Sox, Dodgers, Rangers, Giants, Indians, Yankees, Mets and Mariners before opting not to make the leap to the United States.

Leading up to his announcement, outlets in Japan claimed that the 18-year-old would state his desire to continue playing baseball in his home country. Earlier this month, Patrick Newman of NPB Tracker compiled a scouting report on the hotly sought-after hurler and noted that his dream is to pitch in the major leagues. We may still see Kikuchi in MLB down the road, but not in 2010.

Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports that Major League Baseball is monitoring the McCourts' battle in Chavez Ravine. Bob DuPuy, president and chief operating officer of MLB, says that the commissioner's office has not encouraged the McCourts to sell the team.

Shaikin also says that the Dodgers will not use freed-up cash in free agency, but will instead use those funds to retain their arbitration eligible core players. Those players include Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, James Loney, Russell Martin, Chad Billingsley, Jonathan Broxton and George Sherrill.
