Well, if you had Frank McCourt backing down from Bud Selig and slinking away from Dodger Stadium, you don’t know Frank.

Given the news Monday that a $3 billion bailout wasn’t on its way, McCourt – through his lawyers – on Tuesday threatened lawsuits challenging Selig’s authority, Selig’s behavior and Selig’s game.

I’ve heard that Selig voided a big TV contract between the Dodgers and a network. (Fox Sports?). The word was that due to financial problems, McCourt was counting on the up front TV money to pay expenses and meet the Dodgers June 30th payroll. If he can’t make payroll on June 30th, then he’s in deeper problems. We’ll see what happens.

When McCourt bought the team, he signed an agreement promising NOT to sue the commissioner..he has NO leg to stand on..
