On buying the Dodgers

So apparently the current owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Frank and Jamie McCourt, are getting divorced, and there is an outstanding court order for the immediate sale of the team. This poses a problem, but first things first- it's too bad that they're getting divorced. Really, I would never wish that upon anyone and I wish both of them well. However, on the up-side, THEY DON'T HAVE TO OWN THE STUPID DODGERS ANYMORE. Herein lies the problem: someone is going to purchase the team, and that's a bad move because they suck. Really, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO BUY THAT FRANCHISE?!

I have compiled a list of better things to do with the money. Let's call them potential business ventures:

- Buying the remaining stock in Enron
- Buying lots and lots of candy
- Giving the money to me (because then it would go into an actual investment)
- Putting it into a banana stand (Arrested Development anyone?)
- Donating it to any charity :)

*Please note that this blog was written with extreme fan bias (Go A's and Giants!). However, from a business standpoint, I cannot commit to saying that the purchase of this franchise is a smart decision and would strongly advise against it.

Beat LA!
