Dodgers' Web musings: Thoughts now turn to next season and the need for a major bat
Dodgers Blog | Los Angeles Times — Things are so bad for the Dodgers these days -- hey, I’m not even talking divorce court -- they’re almost as far out of the wild-card race (eight games) as the division lead (nine). They are down and not getting up. Further evidence for the bleeding-blue faithful is offered by SI.com’s Tom Verducci, who wrote that since the formation of the eight-team playoff format, only one of baseball’s 112 teams made the postseason after starting Sept. 1 more than 3½ games out (the ’07 Rockies were five back). Which immediately turns the mind to … next season. And a pair...

15 hours agoMcCourt reaffirms his claim to Dodgers
Orange County Register — LOS ANGELES – Former Dodger CEO Jamie McCourt didn't want to take the risk associated with buying the Dodgers six years ago and only started representing herself as a co-owner last summer when her marriage was on the ropes, her estranged husband...
17 hours agoFrank McCourt says in divorce trial that Jamie McCourt was wary of Dodgers purchase
Los Angeles Times — Frank McCourt testifies that Jamie McCourt repeatedly told him she wanted financial security and was adamant that she have no financial exposure when he was considering buying the team.The way Frank McCourt tells it, Jamie McCourt expressed her financial philosophy in the same words time and time again during a marriage that lasted nearly 30 years: "You can make a billion. You can lose a billion. I don't care. I just want my own nest egg."
18 hours agoPotential appeal could keep Dodgers in McCourt hands for years
Dodgers Thoughts | ESPN Los Angeles — There's an angle of the McCourt divorce trial that I think has been underplayed. From The Days and Tweets of Molly Knight: To sum up (if Frank is losing): either Frank pays Jamie off and keeps team--which would be the sane thing--or Jamie wins and Frank spends 2 years appealing. And also: Whoever loses on MPA is likely to appeal. With the logjam in CA courts now, that could take up to 36 months, I'm told. Worst case, obvs. It could be a while just to get a decision on this trial from Judge Scott Gordon, if there is no settlement. Judge will have 90 days AFTER trial ends in late September to m...
20 hours agoUnthinkable or thinkable: A Joe Torre-Derek Jeter reunion in Los Angeles?
Dodgers Thoughts | ESPN Los Angeles — This is not a rumor I'm starting. There is no evidence that this is being discussed or will ever happen. Everything I've heard is that the Yankee will finish his career as a Yankee. But that sort of talk has been wrong in the past. And so I submit to you that there are far more outlandish possibilities than Joe Torre returning as Dodger manager next season and successfully recommending that the team sign free agent infielder Derek Jeter.
20 hours agoThe Frank and Jamie McCourt numbers game: The bottom line is all bad
Dodgers Blog | Los Angeles Times — Numbers are the boon and bane of baseball. No other sport offers such detailed statistical analysis. The data can be clearly insightful and minutely cumbersome. But no baseball numbers are so overwhelming, so eye-popping, so ridiculous, and yet ultimately so enlightening, as the ones emerging from the McCourts’ divorce trial. I can figure an ERA and OPS, but I can’t begin to fathom the inner workings of the financial shell game Frank and Jamie McCourt have designed. My favorite number is 867-5309, but doubt a call to Jenny is going to clear this baby up. I get this number though:...

- Giants take late-season revival on the road San Francisco Chronicle - Reliever Guillermo Mota was spot on after the Padres took two of three from the Giants in San Francisco in mid-August.

- Rockies fall to Philly, drop 6 1/2 games behind in wild card Denver Post It was, in many ways, a strange night at Coors Field. It was a one-game homestand with too many hits, too many mistakes and too little Pepto-Bismol for the Phillies' nine-run seventh inning.
