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.

Manny Ramirez 'El Maniaco' has retired

Just in: Manny Ramirez has retired.

After five games with the Tampa Bay Rays, Ramirez decides to hang up the cleats.

In the short sting with the Rays, he had 17 at bats to go along with one hit and one RBI.

Ramirez, 39, came off a productive spring training as he seemed to be determine to be fitted for the opening season and have a quality season.

He comes off a bad 2010 season where he battled injuries and was dumped by the Los Angeles Dodgers and picked up by the Chicago White Sox for the remainder of the season.

Going the long distances for the Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers have started its season on a slow pace, but with 14 games in the new 2010 MLB season and going 7-7 in them, the Dodgers look to its sluggers to lead them into the playoffs again.

Matt Kemp, center fielder, has been explosive in the early season, in the last 10 games, he has blown away seven baseballs over the fence for seven home runs.

Andre Ethier, right fielder, has contributed alongside Kemp, having four home runs and a walk off game winning hit thus far in the season.

Manny Ramirez, left fielder, has been batting .432, with a pinch hit two-run home run and multiple runs based in.

The three players have been caring most of the load for the Dodgers, with the role players like James Loney, Russel Martin and Casey Blake adding on the extra small stats that don't show up on the stat sheet.

The big bats must continue for the Dodgers if they want to make another chase to make the world series this year.

A reason why the big bats have to stay the way it has been for the first 14 games, because the Dodgers pitching is unreliable.

With a decent starting five rotation and a lousy bullpen, the Dodgers have to rely on its hits and runs to win ball games.

Manny is never boring

Without no time to waste in the first day of Spring training, "Manny being Manny," strikes again.

In the first day of the Los Angeles Dodgers Spring training, Manny Ramirez said he is probably not going to be with the team next year.

Ramirez said he doesn't believe the Dodgers want him back after his two year contract is over after the upcoming season.

All he has left to offer is being a slugger, because Ramirez is beginning the start of the end of his career.

With what Ramirez believes is just an opinion, has blown up out of prospective and people believe it is a shot at the Dodgers.

He is known for stirring up controversies, and everyone knows Ramirez loves to be in the center of attention, that is why his nickname, "Mannywood," fits him so perfect.

The season has not started for the Dodgers and Ramirez but if this is the start of many unexplainable actions Ramirez has up his sleeves, than it will be a long season for Dodger nation.
