Baseball's leading power couple is headed for a divorce.

Frank McCourt, the Los Angeles Dodgers' owner, and his wife, Jamie, the team's CEO, are in the middle of divorce proceedings, according to multiple major-league sources.
"Frank McCourt and Jamie McCourt confirm that they are separated," the McCourts said in a statement when asked for comment by FOXSports.com.

"This is a personal matter and they request that their privacy be respected. They will be making no public statements."

The divorce will not be amicable, one source said.

"They've already 'lawyered' up," the source said. "They're trashing each other terribly. It's going to be World War III."

Earlier this year, a divorce between San Diego Padres owner John Moores and his wife, Becky, helped prompt the sale of that club.

If either side thinks Dodger fans will stand for the same bullshit that is going on in San Diego, they better think again.

Impossible to accomplish when the bulk are pricey vets that no other team wants.

What are they going to do? Put together a lynch mob and storm McCourt's house with pitch forks?

I don't believe MLB will not allow a big market team with 3+ million in attendance each year to be ****ed over. It would be suicide.

[HollywoodLeo]

So, they're not going to stand for it by existing?

Gotcha.

[realmofotalk]

No, they're free to take the payroll down to $40 million as they wish.

Keep dreaming, asshole.

You said the Dodgers fans aren't going to stand for it. That implies that they're going to actively do something, something the Padres fans who apparently do stand for it didn't do.

I'm just curious what this course of action is because I, unlike most Padres fans, do not want to stand for a low payroll but I am at a loss for what I can do about it.

If there's something I can do so that I don't have to stand for it please tell me.

Where did I say that Padre fans aren't going to stand for it? Maybe they do, maybe they don't. I'm just saying the bullshit that went down with Moores isn't going to ****ing fly here. Just like it wouldn't sit well with Yankee fans or Red Sox fans.

How's that a power couple and who the hell cares?

The implication is there, don't play coy.

Well, there were Padre fans who were excited about getting four ****ing prospects from the White Sox, and seemed to shrug at the fact that the team just got rid of their former Cy Young winner. Yes, I admit you are not one of them.
