Comment on New Look at Dodger Stadium Attendance Drop by WildWilli

Attendance is largely a reflection of whether or not the team is winning and star power. I note that one day the attendance was 29,000. The next day, it was over 50,000 due to Kershaw being the picture. Yes, a few people may stay away due to McCourt’s situation, but let’s be truthful about this and stop exaggerating the facts.

fair point - although the title was not meant to mislead. I should have Stated "Dodgers Attendance Decline Worst in MLB for 2011". Their current avg attendace per game is about 35k or so according to baseball reference which ranks them 4th in the MLB. Their overall decline YOY, in absolute terms, is the largest in MLB.

Yet another misleading headline designed to grab attention. The attendance might be lower for the
Dodgers based on their previous numbers, but is still more than most clubs normal attendance.

Comment on Frank McCourt’s Last Straw by Michael_1812

Frank McCourt has been betrayed by almost everyone. By his wife Jennie, to begin with. Not only cheated she on him, but also slandered him whenever and wherever possible. I am not surprised, though, for this was a part of her strategy aimed at getting a bigger cut. Those who went through the torture of divorse, know how this works and how low some people fall.

What surprises me most is that Frank never said a critical word about his ex. He behaves like a real gentleman. I respect him simply for that !

Dodgers used to be an excellent team — until this filthy divorse started. The team even managed to make it to the playoff, more than once, — and it did this under Frank’s guidance.

…and now almost everyone, including Bud Selig, are against Frank. To me, this smells sordid.

McCourt and Jamie redirected some 100 mln from team revenues toward buying property. That was a mistake. But will you please remind me in whose hands this property is now? — aal the houses are in the hands of Jammie, while Frank is renting!! It has been agreed that she is getting all the property after the divorse. Why is everyone now blaming Frank??

Comment on A Dodgers Deal for Eric Chavez Not Dead Yet by Bob Kaufman

Bob Kaufman — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 17:59:35 +0000

If we signed Chavez, Blake is available for a trade. It was reported that the Cards were looking to move Pujols and that he would cost about $27M per year. The report was that the Cards did not think they could afford to re-sign Pujols, and did not want to lose him to free agency; that they wanted a proven starter, and solid backup at short and third (and, I presume, someone at first to replace Pujols).

The fact that the Dodgers — or anyone — could use Pujols goes without saying.

So here is the scenario. Give Dee Gordon a shot at second, and put Chavez at third. Carroll and Castro back up both. Get Pujols for first. Give up Loney, Blake, and Uribe, and let the Cards have their pick or Garland, Padilla, or Lilly.

The Dodgers take on about $30M/yr. in Puljols, Castro, and Chavez, and give up players getting about $22M. Therefore, it is $8 to get Pujols, give a great prospect a chance, see if Chavez is healthy (a huge boost if he is and a minor loss of Blake and Loney for Pujols if he isn’t, with decent backupat 2d and 3d.

Comment on Gibson’s 1988 Memorabilia Deserve to be in Dodger Stadium by Raedeane Bringelson

I would like to share my thoughts on Kirk Gibson selling his treasured moments with the Dodgers from Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. It is so sad to think that out of the blue Kirk Gibson decided to auction off this wonderful historical treasured pieces of history that are a cherished legacy to Kirk Gibson, the Dodger Organization and so especially to the Fans. If there was a misunderstanding between the Dodger Organization & Kirk Gibson I would hope they could sit down together and work this out so that these treasured moments in history would be a part of the Dodger Organization and for Dodger Fans for them to enjoy sharing in a history of a treasured moment in our hearts forever of that magical 1988 Game 1 World Series to pass down to generations of fans and their family’s.. I believe that this historical cherished moments of Kirk Gibson & Kirk Gibson’s Legacy belong to the Dodger Family and would hope that these memorabilia item’s will stay in the Dodger Organization. If Kirk Gibson should read this I would like to say how much and so dear that moment in history is a cherished moment for me and my family and now our grandchildren:) I have been a fan of Kirk Gibson for many years and a true blue fan of the Dodgers since the 50′s:):) I truly hope the Dodger Organization will not let this pass by and not try to reach out to Kirk Gibson and together work this out:) Maybe Tommy Lasorta can possibly step in and reach out to Kirk Gibson he is a wonderful ambassador to baseball and a very dear part of the Dodger Organization, & Dodger Family:):) Thank~you for letting me share my thoughts:) Hope your day is a lovely one:)

Warm Regards,Raedeane Bringelson
