This Week Of The Dodgers: A Boycotter’s View
Published on July 30, 2011 by sportsadmin · 15 Comments
This week in Dodgerland had name calling, Jihad references, millions of dollars in legal fee’s and a bobble head night. And the best is yet to come!
Just when you think the situation of the Los Angeles Dodgers couldn’t get any crazier Frank and Jaime McCourt up the ante. The two were at it again this week fighting in court over every hard-earned Dodger penny. We give you a Boycotters Point Of View of This Week of the Dodgers!
Frankie Frankrupt Vs. The Screaming Meanie: A couple of weeks ago Frank petitioned to lower his spousal support to Jaime due to his deteriorating financial situation. This week Jamie, A.K.A. “Screaming Meanie” gave her rebuttal and I must admit it is quite funny as she stated Frank rather fund his personal “Jihad” against MLB than continue to honor is personal obligations. I don’t think the position of Frank McCourt has ever been stated so perfectly, but the word “Jihad” may be an understatement in discribing Frank’s stance against MLB. So we will have wait to see what Judge Gordon says about the recent filings of Frank and Jamie. But not that it matters anyways because nothing moves swiftly with these two as legal fee’s add up to the most costliest divorce in California history, $35 Million, not bad for a couple of kids from Boston huh! Too bad they couldn’t through some of that money at Cliff Lee or Roy Halladay a couple years ago when the Dodgers had the World Series within in their grasp.
Bankruptcy Court, Fox to the rescue: Its funny how the whole Dodger saga has evolved over the last year and a half. First it was “Jaime the Villian” as allegations of infidelity and revelations about the miss-use of Dodgers funds flew around in the media. Then it was “Jamie the Savior” as she tried to force Frank into selling the team. Fox in the beginning they were the “Evil Empire” keeping Frank afloat as his Jihad raged against Selig and his Jedi Lawyers. Now Fox is backing MLB in their fight against Frank because Frank has thrown Fox under the bus like he has done to everyone else not named Frank. Frank is trying to persuade Judge Kevin Gross, Bankruptcy Judge, to allow a auction of the Dodgers television rights a year before the Fox contract expires. Fox contends it is a breach of contract, which it is, and does not want to allow Frank to milk them for more money. Fox also states they will sue Frank if the auction is allowed. This is just another example of how the worst human in the history of Los Angeles, Frank, turns his back on another partner after he juiced them for everything. More litigation and heart ache to come for the Dodger Nation.
The Boycott, bumps in the road but still rocking hard: The boycott is alive and well as reported by Steve Dilbeck at Latimes.com. In his recent article he states “Buoyed by a pair of 50,000-plus bobblehead crowds (for Andre Ethier and Fernando Valenzuela), the Dodgers are averaging 36,623 per game. That’s 8,102 fewer fans than last season, and actually better than the 9,319 it was down earlier this season. The Dodgers’ total attendance is off 453,694 for the season.” And the funny part is the actual attendance is a ghost number because to the naked eye you can tell when the Dodgers say the attendance is 31,000 the truth is 20,000 or so. But one thing, Bobblehead Groupies you need to suck it up for one season and stay away from the stadium when Frank tries to seduce you with a cheap version of Andre Ethier with a huge head. How much is your soul worth? When you give Frank money you are killing the Dodgers and the tradition they have built over the last century. So is a bobblehead worth killing the Dodgers to you? Please have more respect for yourself and put your the price of your morals higher then this free piece of ceramic that is broken half the time you open the box anyways. The Dodgers are at stake so take some personal responsibility and say no to the Bobblehead!
The Team, they are still there: With the trade deadline looming my stomach is starting to turn because the Dodgers are usually buyers, but not this year. And the year they should be sellers so they could stock up on prospects, they wont trade anyone of value. Frank will limit trading anyone because if he folds his cards he may lose a couple more fans a game. And a couple more fans is more then Frank’s checkbook can take. The team has won 6 out of the last 8 and looks like it may be turning the corner. Matt Kemp is on a MVP tear as he is playing with his hair on fire. But in all honesty it is hard to watch on TV as this beleaguered Dodger Fan would rather be at the stadium. Go Dodgers, Go Away Frank.

I’m happy that I’ve noticed this blog. Finally anything not junk, which I read very frequently.
The reason I like serif fonts is because I have read that engravers and painters used the serif as a graceful way to extract the brush or chisel from the media with which they were working. Thus it imparts a clear indication that a letter is an uppercase I rather than a lower case "L". In some non-serif fonts the distinction is difficult to make. Times New Roman does not present that problem.
Not that Michigan should have any beef w/ getting denied again. 3rd place in a meek B1G TEN, no significant out-of-conference wins (Kansas would be it), but many losses (AM, Iowa St, Xavier, and Marquette). Quality losses? Sure, but still losses. Plus, there was that U-Detroit debacle.
That cannot be true; if you can know that murder is wrong without God, then God does not need to exist for OM to exist. Which kind of paradoxes your case.I thought you said God had to exist or else morals couldnt exist?
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
In a sense, I believe the ending will will be totally in Jack’s control accept destiny or “save†his friends.

Romans 9:29, where the Greek work Sabaoth is used, says And as Isaiah predicted, If the Lord of hosts had not left survivors to us, we would have fared like Sodom and been made like Gomorrah. This example clearly illustrates Gods power both to protect us, as well as to defeat the enemy.

On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?

I wish people would leave the poor woman alone. She cant prevent illness. She did her best to beat it, but it wouldnt go away. Lay off. She is being rideculed just like Janet Jackson and i wish people would stop crticizing them. The media fucking sucks; they honor Madonna like shes some kind of Queen, but shes a fucking cunt.
I dont think theyll start Harden. They use him in a Ginobli way. Not gonna happen James.
Also, Ferris Bueller. Yea I guess I can under a 90s kid not being as attached to it as those of us who grew up in that era. So Ill forgive you and not call the lynch mob just yet lol
Gays can get married. They do it quite frequently (although not as frequently as they would, I think, if it were an actual legal statement instead of a legally meaningless ceremony); the only difference is that it is not acknowledged by the government. The only difference here is the governments definition of marriage; it doesnt matter what marriage is about or what the point is (to bring two loving individuals together to produce or adopt children and raise them in a loving and nurturing manner show me how a gay couple is not as inherently capable of this as a straight couple), the technicality of but its between a man and a woman! is said to overrun all of the other aspects of marriage. If we say that marriage is invalid solely on the grounds of the same-sex couple.then marriage is not sacred at all, for we have reduced it to a union of two separate genitals, not two human beings. By making the statement that same-sex couples are only less valid than straight couples on the grounds of their gender, one reduces it to a matter of gender. Just as, back in the day, it was reduced to a matter of race.
