Three quick notes on the Los Angeles Dodgers today: Steve Dilbeck of LA Times points out how Frank McCourt's sale of the team will make every other owner that much richer, despite their feelings of the man, James Loney's DUI charge has been dropped based on lack of evidence (lol), and Marc Hulet of FanGraphs takes a look at the club's prospects:

"So how could the man who mismanaged the Dodgers so badly that Commissioner Bud Selig had a lieutenant take over the team's daily control, who shamed the team by dragging it into bankruptcy court, who has become a local and national laughingstock and whose fans deserted him in record numbers act as a beacon to his fellow Major League Baseball owners?
