08:54 AM ET 04.24 | Major league sources close to Dodgers owner Frank McCourt indicate he is flabbergasted by commissioner Bud Selig's actions, and that he has not been able to speak to the commissioner face-to-face to discuss the issues. A huge legal battle looming? Probably, unless McCourt finds a suitable end game in which he's allowed to keep his team.

On the One side: The Team, The Fans, the support personnel, the City of LA and Dodger Fans around the World.

On the Other: Frank McCourt - who if he does nothing else... will keep his team {baby crying in the background}...

The time will come (when Frank's Ego let's it - or Frank gets a big enough offer) that he will do
the right thing...

Until then, it's gonna be a long summer in LA...

Selig probably thinks Frankie is going to try to bum some money off of him.

Frank and Jamie McCourt could not afford the team, can not afford their 5 houses (monthly mortages are more than his yearly income without eating), Jamie, who was 15 years a corporate lawyer, seeing this, is looking for a way to cash out before it collapses. Jamie helped creat this financial disaster, and now wants the cash. The only way for the McCourts to keep their lifestyle is to borrow against the future of their MLB franchise. These 2 are going to be facing IRS penalties pretty soon as well. Selig should NEVER have let these 2 in the door. Frank was greedy, but Jamie and the banks are just as culpable.
