MLB is bringing the excitment back to LA

Old happy days are soon to be back at Chavez Lavine.

Yesterday Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig announced the league will be taking over the Los Angeles Dodgers' financial management operations day by day.

Selig said he would appoint an person of his choice for this task.

The shock came after a endless bad output from Dodgers' owner Frank McCourt.

The team is underachieving, the games are not selling tickets and McCourt is in the most expensive divorce trail in California history and the Los Angeles Police Department has taken over Dodgers Stadium following a opposing fan was beat up in the stadium's parking lot on opening day where that fan is in a coma and is still fighting for his life today.

The Los Angeles Times leak the news about McCourt taking a loan out with the team's TV partner for he could have money to pay the Dodgers staff for the month.

There are also news of the McCourts taking money out of the team to put into their personal bank accounts.

Fans are feed up with the McCourts and yesterday's news was a excitement for them. The news spread wildly hours before the Dodgers took on the Atlanta Braves at Dodgers Stadium, as the Dodgers went on to win the game later in the night.

The news even overshadowed the Los Angeles Lakers playoff win over the New Orleans Hornets.

The reaction was obvious and not one fan was supporting the McCourts. Dodger fans knew something had to be done and that something has finally been done.

The Dodgers are a fine franchise team that is estimated to be worth in the Billions and it is not worth being thrown in the mud by the McCourt's divorce.

The next step for the Dodgers is too see when MLB will sell off the team to a new owner. Before MLB can do that, they have to wait and see how they are going to cut McCourt loose from the team.

Mark Cuban, a well-known Billionaire and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has expressed interest in owning a MLB team and he had attempted to buy the Texas Rangers last year before being rejected with his offer.

Whomever the next owner for the Dodgers will be--they must know they are going to take on a extraordinary franchise filled with history and success. The new owner also must know the Dodgers are in the second largest market in the US where they must make the team become what the Lakers have always been in LA--a championship team every season.

Do not stop believing Dodger faithfuls.
