08:08 AM ET 06.14 | A balloon payment of sorts places in jeopardy the Dodgers' ability to meet June 30th payroll obligations. Frank McCourt is expected to meet the Dodgers' payroll Wednesday, according to three people briefed on the matter but not authorized to discuss it. The Dodgers owe about $10 million in payroll Wednesday, according to one of the people, but that figure roughly triples for the June 30 payment as several deferred salaries come due, including more than $8 million to Manny Ramirez. The Dodgers appear to have "no chance" to meet the June 30 payroll without a cash infusion from a new television contract, according to a person familiar with McCourt's finances but not authorized to discuss them.

Loria can give him a run for his money. Oh, that's right, McCourt doesn't have any money.

I'm just kidding. A Yankees or RS thread always seems to draw the most comments, whether they're full of ire or praise.

I was fishing so I missed the game. From the looks of the box score, it was a good one.

True - but McCourt's mis management goes beyond on the fieled talent. He's bankrupted a team that in the past has been so profitable they almost printed money. These guys draw 3 MM a year easy.

I was glad to see that result. I was watching the Rays. They got hosed by the umps last night. Detroit's one run in regular innings was a double that actually landed foul. It kicked dirt into the chalk causing a puff, so the ump was fooled. But the awful call was later. Rays had a running trying to score on a fly. The catcher missed the tag by about a foot. The runner got around his foot and literally had his foot on the plate when he was tagged. He was called out. Just terrible. If the ump doesn't screw them, they win 2-1 in 9.
