Sources connected with Frank McCourt tell TMZ ... the L.A. Dodgers owner has his lawyers preparing a case against Major League Baseball as well as Commissioner Bud Selig.
Sources
familiar with the case tell us ... Frank's lawyers are researching and
preparing legal docs so they can go to court and ask for a mandatory
injunction, forcing the MLB and Selig to reinstate McCourt as the man in
charge of the day-to-day operation of the team.
Our sources say the essence of McCourt's case -- that Selig was
allegedly "arbitrary and capricious" in yanking McCourt's authority.
We're told one of the arguments -- that Selig and the MLB have tolerated
bigger problems with other teams, including the New York Mets, which is
reportedly $450 million in debt.
Our sources say legal action "is not imminent" -- meaning it won't be
filed today. But sources say it could still be filed as early as Friday.

Why is Frank McCourt's left eye wonkey? Looks like he had a stroke.

The Mets might be in debt but they have operating cash to make their payroll. This guy cannot even make the first payroll of the season. Is he going to borrow money again to make the second payroll?
MLB is one organization that don't like to get involved in anything. The fact that they got involved means that the Dodger financial situation must be really bad.

McCourt don't you get it its fan like my self that will not go to another game till you sell the team, I was at the game for Fernando Valenzuela blanket night because one of your employees game me the four tickets. so i didn't spend a single $ of my hard earn money. Wednesday was a sad day in Dodger Nation but now that MLB took control i will return to the place i called HEAVEN ON EARTH to support my team...GO DODGERS!!!

I'm no Frank McCourt fan, but I'm a on his side because I'm against strong-arm tactics. Besdies, I doubt anyone would like it if their property just gets taken away.

It's a shame. Baseball used to be "America's favorite passtime"
Kids wanted to be ball players like DiMaggio when they grew up. Now it's all about money and drugs.
It's not a family thing anymore

No surprise. McCourt never had enough cash to run a MLB team. He is in debt up to his eyeballs. Talk about living above one's means. McCourt is the poster boy for that one. The Dodgers cash flow was the way McCourt, via good tax lawyers, was able to suck the Dodgers dry to spend millions on personal property. To all Dodgers fans that have helped pay for his crazy lifestyle I say: suckers.
Joe Blow
And how exactly he is planning on paying these lawyers?

I am so fed up with this balloon knot! The actions he is taking reflect his basic M.O. A few years ago I read an article which outlined this man's shady busines practices (I wish I could reference the article here). I am hard pressed to believe he has any present partners from his past. If he does, they don't like him. He is a shister, plain and simple.
