Things Are Going Swimmingly For Jamie McCourt

Jamie McCourt scored a big victory today when Judge Scott Gordon invalidated the 2004 marital property agreement which had separated the assets, including a little franchise called the Dodgers, of Frank and Jamie McCourt. Keep in mind this is only a step, one of many in a process that may continue for months or even years. From Bill Shaikin and Carla Hall of the LA Times:
The ruling is not expected to have an immediate impact on the day-to-day operations of the team. Frank is expected to employ other legal strategies to dispute his ex-wife's claim to co-ownership of the team.
Frank could decide to appeal Tuesday's ruling. He already has notified the court he wants to use a different legal strategy in another claim to sole ownership of the Dodgers, one based on the concept that he bought the team with a company he established before his marriage to Jamie.
As usual, Josh Fisher of DodgerDivorce.com has keen insight:
Think of this as the beginning of the end, although the end might take longer than the beginning.
Which, I suppose, makes today the beginding.

Thought that was either Danson, or James Coburn.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
It looks
more like Coburn than Danson, but Coburn is dead so it must be Danson. But it doesn’t look like Danson either.
Actually he looks like a Secret Service agent.
Nothing is ever easy.

But any money he has when he gets married is community property, right? Therefore, any purchases he makes would also be community property, no? This just seems so asinine. "Honey, I realize I bought the bread for us, but I’ve had that five dollars since before I knew you, so you don’t get any toast and I’m not sharing.
Disregard females, acquire currency.
Money he has when he gets married is community property? I would think it would be any money that he made after he got married would be community property, but that would make too much sense so it is probably wrong. :)
why would your single assets remain separate when you get married
you do everything else together. You file taxes together, have a joint income, why would you have two single accounts and a married account?
Disregard females, acquire currency.
Why
I am just playing judge judy here, not trying to be all legal begal. But if I had a million dollars in the bank. Got married and made $100K, including interest on the million and got divorced. I would think the fair thing is to only split the $100K. That’s probably not the law, because it makes too much sense. But that is what I’d make the law if I were king.
That’s assuming that somehow, your wife did nothing to help the company. Jamie McCourt was an employee of both the Frank McCourt corp and and the president of the Dodgers. Don’t see how this argument is going to work.
An employee could sue for severance pay I suppose.

In this scenario she did nothing to help the first $1M. In Frank’s case I don’t see his argument working. #straws #grasping #FireSale
I think at best
Frank would get what he had in monetary terms before he got married out of the Dodgers. If he sold the parking lots for $50M then parlayed that later after he was married into the Dodgers, he should get that $50M and the rest should be split. If I were king of course.

That elderly lawyer that messed up
the documents is probably going to have a rather large malpractice lawsuit coming against him.
Is that how`
we are paying for our offseason?
LAST SEASON, I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!
I don't think much will happen to him
The bench is packed with attorneys. Legal malpractice has to be pretty horrific before it becomes actionable.

Nope
her status with the club probably remains the same, she is co-owner in the sense that if and when they divide the assets, the Dodgers are part of that equation (see below).
If DeJesus has a great ST
I can see Uribe playing a lot of 3B this year, because I remember the Dodgers have already put it out there that they want to transition Blake into a part-time player/super sub. It’s not likely now though, also because they have Gibbons in that role and Russ Mitchell if he makes the team. So I guess they decided they can live with Blake playing most of the games at 3B considering all the other holes they had to fill this offseason?
Overqualified in an underqualified world since 2008.
In this scenario
I am going to define “great ST” as .800/.875/1.450

I think DeJesus could hit .500 and make every play on the field and he is still going to AAA.
He's just a Furcal

You can be (incompetent and a nice guy), you can be (competent and an asshole), but if you are an (asshole and incompetent), your only future is to be Keith's boss otherwise you are unemployable
No, that's too good
it’ll be dismissed as being park factors or a sample size or facing minor leaguers in the later innings or just being on a hot streak for a couple weeks or…
if he’s .320/.370/.390 he’ll get a nice look.

In the "OT but surprising to no one" section
Albert Haynesworth has been suspended for the final 4 games of the regular season. Poor Washington…I really thought they had a shot with McNabb this year, but it always seems to be something with them.
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
I like it
I don’t remember Werth being a douche, though…do I just have selective memory?
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
Just because Jamie is the "co-owner"
doesn’t mean anything changes with the current structure of the team, all this ruling meant that is when the assets are divided, the Dodgers are part of those assets.
If Frank loses all of his attempts to reverse this ruling, the divorce case will move towards that step of taking all the assets and liabilities and dividing them up.
Since the Dodgers are the largest asset (and there are not enough other assets to balance it out), at that point, after a valuation is made, then the Dodgers may have to be sold if no settlement is reached.
But didn’t Frank fire her from the CEO position? Can you fire a co-owner? This would have little ruling on the final settlement, but she can annoy Frank by getting her own job back.
Sure you can
Depends on roles within the company of course though.
by Eric Stephen on Dec 7, 2010 10:33 AM PST up reply actions
She's not a co-owner in that sense
I am guessing all the Corporate documents and all the agreements with MLB state Frank is the owner.
Judge Gordon’s ruling affects the family law case regarding the assets of Frank and Jamie McCourt.
This was not a takeover bid from a group of shareholders.
Since Dodgers were also linked to him as "interested"
fwiw… How is Bill Hall’s OF defense? I recall him being a crappy infielder but assume he’s not as terrible in the OF…
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Plus/minus is all over the place
with some small samples:
2007: -1 in 1022 innings in CF
2008: nothing
2009: +3 in 178 innings in LF, +2 in 108 innings in RF
2010: -9 (!!) in 341 innings with the Green Monster, 0 in 40 innings in RF
My guess is average-ish to below average
by Eric Stephen on Dec 7, 2010 10:39 AM PST up reply actions
Nick Eustrom via twitter also sent me this
Hall is a + UZR/150 defender just about everywhere. In LF I’d imagine he’d be well above average
And Dave’s tweet to me was along your lines
SSS 1770 innings in OF,0.5 UZR/15per fangraphs, but best numbers in CF
I’d take him over our other options.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
just saw that
The more I think about it, the more I like Bill Hall as a decent fit for the dodgers. He can platoon in LF and fill in for Casey Blake on days against righties. The only problem is…add him to the list off dodger that will probably hit 15 HR at a .300 OBP.
But hey, he has 0.00 lifetime ERA!

spent a lot of time as the last comment in the last thread. Hate to see all those keystrokes get wasted.
I spoke with someone recently who just moved to FL from LA
and he is a High School Baseball Coach. After a couple of in depth conversations with him I have now become extremely optimistic about Zach Lee. He went on and on and on about his makeup and his ability to hit spots. I have learned that most prospects don’t pan out but I still believe that Zach Lee is special because of his athleticness. Scratch Golfer, Football Star etc. If he comes close to his ceiling I think he would be an AWESOKE compliment to Clayton Kershaw. I also want to get excited about Sands but I do see his flaws which need to be mended. That being said, 35 HR’s is something that doesn’t happen that often and he is still young. We need power in a BAD way and I don’t see our farm producing all that much of it. Russell’s K numbers are horrendous and he would be lucky to produce a Rob Deer statline so I don’t see him making the big league club. I still have all my cards on Dee Gordon, I love that kid! As for our pitchers on the farm I know they have nasty stuff but is it me or do they all seem to have control issues? Is there anything Management can do to fix this? I know Hough does a great job but this common trend concerns me since we never seem to be in the mix for top free agent arms like Cliff Lee. Any thoughts? Also I really want to see us do something about our future behind the dish….obviously Barajas is not the answer. Other than the Yankees do any teams have a plethora of catching depth that we can trade for?

From what I understand, MLB does have the power to do it, but it would take a legal fight as long as the McCourts divorce proceedings are likely to take. There is some history of this, the Expos, Red Sox, Marlins, ownership trade for one, and the NBA just took over the the New Orlens Hornets. But in both cases, the owners were on board, swapping or being bought out. \
Frank McCourt would have to be convinced it would be in his best interest to sell.

Gordon and Griffin looked great last night but Gomes gets the game ball for keeping them in the game early.

no MLS? it’s on hockey’s level attendance-wise

They don’t have it on ESPN but I found it on another site. Looks like it’s right up there with Hockey/Basketball in several markets. Although the tickets are generally a lot less expensive.
sure, but that’s also cause soccer stadiums are being built in the suburbs, while hockey/basketball arenas are usually in urban areas (Sacramento excluded)
I think soccer has a bright future in the US, but I think they still need to make a lot of tweaks to their system and the level of play really has to improve.
They only play 30 games though
NFL attendance looks crazy on a per game basis, until you realize they play only 16 games.
LAST SEASON, I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!
getting 20k people in the US to actually show up to a soccer match
is a good start though

36k average in Seattle! I wonder if that will hold up, I bet it does, the fans seem pretty devoted up there.
and they travel well. they took up a whole lotta space in HDC when they were down here, and they’re loud.
When I was playing ball at CSU Dominguez Hills
our girls and guys teams always seemed to run the DII table until we got to the finals/semi-finals against Seattle. They always had a ton of fans down here to play against us and always played us tough. Maybe its just a regional thing?
Disregard females, acquire currency.
Met some of those fans when I was in Seattle. They were fanatical.
They couldn’t give less of a shit about losing the Sonics.

More Nats moxie
They are in on Greinke, sort of:
The latest big name they’ve inquired on: Royals right-hander Zack Greinke. And while it doesn’t seem likely that the sides will agree on a deal, the mere fact that the Nationals showed real interest is the latest indication that the last-place Nats want to be considered serious players.
