The McCourt divorce, as expected, has turned rather ugly; Frank has accused his wife of damaging the Dodgers.

Frank McCourt has accused his estranged wife of undermining the Dodgers’ business operations, claiming in a court filing Monday that Jamie McCourt could “continue to seek to damage the Dodgers” so long as she presents herself as a co-owner of the team.

Of course, Frank doesn’t actually say what it is Jamie is doing to damage the Dodgers, and I can’t imagine it’s much worse that some of the transactions the Dodgers have made over the past few years.  Because unless Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier are fatigued from double-teaming her, Frank should probably look somewhere else to place blame for any Dodgers shortcomings.

I mean, the Andruw Jones and Jason Schmidt signings were pretty atrocious – it’s Colleti that Frank should be after, not his wife.

Either way, I’d love to see Frank bring in a cardboard cutout of his wife and peel away a piece of clothing from it after every Dodger win a la Major League.  And what’s the over/under on number of days before Manny realizes that it’s just a cardboard cutout and not a real person?  I say somewhere around 30.
