Pregame Distraction!

Frank and Jamie McCourt have been the face of the Dodgers for six years, but the McCourts may now turn the Dodgers into part of a divorce. Frank and Jamie McCourt filed for divorce late Wednesday, right before the Dodgers NLCS Opener.

Jamie McCourt doesn't own the Dodgers, but she is Chief Executive Officer, while her husband owns the team.

Six years after the McCourts bought the Dodgers from Rupert Murdoch, things may not have gone well at home, but they have gone well on the field as the Dodgers have Manny Ramirez and are playing in the NLCS for the second year in a row.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the McCourts were not sitting together during the NLDS series against the Cardinals and have rarely been seen together all season, so the divorce filing comes as no surprise.

Looking at other posts on the web, everyone wants to know what effect the divorce will have on the Dodgers in the post season?  That has to be the stupidest thing I ever heard of. As long as the divorce doesn’t affect the player’s paycheck, why the heck would it be a distraction for the players during the game?

The Dodgers will either win or lose the series, but neither one will be because of the owners divorce. - Blake Kearny
