Somebody buy that trash - the entire McCourt family - one way tickets out of here since they obviously can't afford their own... in the immortal words of Marcellus Wallace, "YOU'VE LOST YOUR L.A. PRIVILEGES"

What happens when the new owner claims keeping two teams in the LA market is not financially viable in the current economic climate, so he moves the team to Nevada?

I seriously doubt that will happen. Dodgers, even during terrible years, still ranked in the top 10 in attendance and keep breaking attendance records. McCourt really screwed up the finances...

Did AEG ever make a bid for the Dodgers when they were on sale in 2003?
