Maybe its time Kirk Gibson bailed us out of this one too. Even so, fist pumping and all probably wouldn't send bankruptcy woes out of the park like game winning home run balls.
Last Thursday, July 7, the Los Angeles Dodgers were denied access from gathering information from MLB Commissioner Bud Selig in U.S. Bankruptcy Court by Judge Kevin Gross. U.S. Trustee Roberta DeAngelis argued that the Dodgers request to borrow upwards of $150 million from JPMorgan & Chase Co. should be dismissed. "The debtors did not properly disclose a significant fee that is both material and essential," she said.
The Dodgers exhausting pickle is all thanks to the McCourt divorce that wedged a wooden stake in the heart of Chavez Ravine. The split, more damaging than the 1994 Northridge earthquake, took out half of Los Angeles and left the Dodgers filing for bankruptcy protection on June 27.
Center fielder Matt Kemp seems unshaken from the aftershocks as he hit his 23rd home run and 71 RBI last night. Kemp and crew maintain a five-game winning streak spanning through the Midsummer Night Classic into the second half of the season.
As the dust settles, Manager Don Mattingly picks up pieces of rubble with high hopes of seeing the October sky. Like firework shows after games, hopefully this season won't blow up in Mattingly's face. Because even Dodger Dogs sometimes get overcooked.
