And on Saturday, there was more alarming news.

According to the LA Times, Frank McCourt has secured a $30 million loan from FOX to meet payroll obligations, which according to the report will cover expenses into next month. It marks the second loan since the end of last season that the Dodgers have had to take on.

It's not hard to see where this is going.

Why would season ticket holders want to renew at a location that is rife with gang bangers and illegals?

I promise not to ping too often to the topic, but we know what they say about promises and this is the best comprehensive article out there on the situation.

On Saturday 31,614 in paid attendance was counted, the lowest attended Saturday home game since 9/7/02 vs Astros. Finally, Sunday saw just 27,439, or 49% of capacity. Through 8 games the Dodgers are averaging 40,270, a healthy number (now second in the league behind the Phillies), until you realize that that is just 72 percent of Dodger Stadium’s 56,000 seating capacity ...

In retrospect, it may be that we’ll look back and realize Fox and the McCourts were merely woefully inadequate placeholders in the transition from the successful regimes of the O’Malleys to Dennis Gilbert.

Have you seen this article from today? (Friday, April 22, 2011)

Fans stunned by the dark days of Dodgers baseball

Well, at least the Dodgers' organization did one thing right: They kept the great Vin Scully on as the Dodgers' announcer. May he continue to enjoy excellent health!
