There is little doubt any longer that this situation will be anything less than incindiery. Watching the high-strung Brand blow apart is like watching a top fuel dragster blow its motor half-way down the track, with the exception that the Brand's situation will unfold more at the pace of a train wreck.
We might as well have fun watching that spectacle while the team goes into lock-down mode. I figure Frank will have to make someone a sorta team caretaker while he focuses on the catapults and siege engines in his war with Hot Lips. She meanwhile figures to be busy building tunnels and trying to poison his water supply.
The team figures to stay in limbo for the next 18 months or so.

Eighteen months? It will take that long to figure out who owns more of the Dodgers, Bank of America, Fox or those kooky McCourt kids. Keep in mind, papers have not even been filed and given the siege mentality by both participants coupled with the fact that both see their only way to stay in the media spotlight is to play this game, they may not get filed until the interest in this thing wanes. Hell, I am figuring this thing will make the Hundred Years War look like a long weekend.
The bad thing about this game they are playing is that only the Dodgers and their fans will suffer. Again, must thank Bud Lite in person for forcing these clowns down the throats of the Dodger faithful. Kudos, Bud. Hope you get a flesh-eating bacteria on your gentlemen's luggage.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...The other shoe dropped. According to Bill Shaikin, Hot Lips is already looking for investors to buy Frank out. Knowing the way the woman schmoozes, I am sure she can find five or six well-heeled investors who can buy out Frank for pocket change. The problem is, Frank honestly believes he is sole owner of the Blue. Both of them are delusional. Hot Lips thinks Frank will sell and Frank thinks he is doesn't have to share his toys. This is gonna be must see entertainment once the papers are filed.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...I guess if they each get enough firepower from outside investors to buy out the other one that could actualy bring this to a head even quicker. All they have to do is agree that one of them says a price and the other has to agree to either say I buy or I sell at that price with no negotiation. Case closed.
It wasn't the Dentist after all, according to TMZ the guy in question was the former Director of Protocol for the Dodgers... his name is Jeff Fuller... Turns out he is LOADED (mom was an heir to the Pillsbury fortune) so it sounds like Jaime has a new "Sugar Daddy". Here is a link to the story w/ pictures TMZ

It does say Size 0 hooked up with the Doughboy after she split with Frankie. It would still give credence to the charge of inappropriate behavior with a subordinate spelled out in her termination letter.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Wow, is this unfolding quickly. Hot Lips hooking up with a guy loaded with old money is an interesting plot twist. If he has a lot of connections to others who inherited well, Hot Lips may have a leg up on putting together a valid ownership group.
Poor Frank has probably been limiting his dalliances to poor starlets.

Hot Lips may have more than one leg up...

Still haven't talked her into that swim, eh?

I hope she has more than a leg up. Hot Lips is doing all Cougars proud. Kid can't be more than 25. Hot Lips may have said inappropriate stuff but she knows her way around money. I am expecting that Frank may get an offer he can't refuse. Hell, if Hot Lips asks nice, I will rent her Vinnie and Guido to make the proposal.

Does the Redhead know of this infatuation? Honesty is always a good idea. Herself knows of my infatuation with Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba. She is okay as long as there is a 300 mile buffer between me and them.

Hey, Hot Lips was the one giving me the eye. I suppose if I told the Redhead about it we might be able to skip the swim.
Poor fella, he has no ideaKeep in mind that she would have to be voted in by the other MLB owners. Do you really think the good ol' boys will allow Frankie to get screwed like that? Do you think they all don't despise the way divorce works so blatantly in favor of women in this country? Jamie would never get approval.

No, that guy looks like he's in his 30s. He looks very familiar--I think I saw him at the stadium this year.
I just wish both of the McCourts would get out of town. I figured there was more embarrassment coming at their hands, but I never imagined this. Thanks again, Lizard Lips Selig.

She is already the "owner" of the Dodgers, the old boys will never vote her out. The minute they did, you can expect several thousand congressional subcommittees, protesters and folx like Fox, TNT and ESPN taking it in the shorts. I am still waiting for some crap to hit the fan about Kim Ng.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...The way I heard it Grabs is that according to the MLB Frankie is listed as the sole owner under the MLB paperwork, so as far as they're concerned he's the owner (thus why he could fire her and keep her locked out). California won't see it that way but that's the current position of the other MLB owners.

I figured as much, but it would be interesting to see if they try to keep her out of the men's club if she is able to buy the team from Frank. They didn't mess with Marge Schott and I gotta think that Jamie will be well-represented if Bud & Co. try to exclude her from the smokers and guy's night at the Palomino.
I'll play the radio on Southern stations because Southern Belles are Hell at night...Now Jamie's calling 911 on Frank? Good lord, every time I think this can't get uglier...

Coming in late on this one, but I can see it getting more and more comical by the minute. Why do I see Bud Lite taking over the day to day operations of the Dodgers by Christmas, if not sooner?
Wow, Jamie brings her boy toy to Frank's house, then calls 911 when he catches her in his swimming pool. Can we say staged for PR value? Ludicrous doesn't touch it anymore. Boy do I miss Uncle Rupert and minions.

I am still trying to figure out how Jamie can call 911 when she was trespassing at Frank's mansionette? I guess California law has changed the trespassing statute or something. From now on, I best have a bowl of popcorn around for the daily dose of Frank & Hot Lips.

My guess is unless there's a restraining order, the only thing keeping either one of them from doing that would be common sense. I heard common sense died a lingering death about the same time as when the last passenger pigeon croaked.
"I know, everybody funny, now you funny too."Yeah, this reeks of setup for the divorce proceedings ...

Half a million per month? Sweet mother of pearl! Frank, a little advice, settle quick or you will be as penniless as you are portrayed by Simers.

I would repeat what I think my grandmother would say, but I promised to keep the profanity to the minimum, this winter.
