Last year was a boondoggle b/c of the divorce but I don't think that constitutes running the team into the ground
Yeah but how are they doing in the all important stabbings/yr and fans-beaten-into-a-coma metrics?
I went to one Dodger game and made the mistake of sitting in the bleachers with a 10-yr-old kid. Never again.
Until they clean up the atmosphere at the stadium and get rid of the gang-bangers I don't see them having much of a resurgence.
