Maybe This is Why...

...it took Dodgers owner Frank McCourt so long to hire a new general manager this fall?

Ol' Frank seems to have been preoccupied with matters other than baseball...namely, football.

The LOS ANGELES TIMES today quotes an internal memo suggesting that, if successful in his football proposal, McCourt could enjoy the "psychic benefits of being the guy that brought football to L.A." (Registration may be required by the L.A. Times.)

Especially given McCourt's rocky ownership history thus far, I think Dodger fans would much prefer that McCourt spend his time contemplating basking in the "psychic benefits" of being the guy who brought the World Series back to Dodger Stadium for the first time since '88.
