Nice job, Cards. Great series overall. And congrats to Furcal who finally gets a WS ring.

Morbid prediction: Tony LaRussa's Hall of Fame induction will be posthumous.

Strangler Lewis · 10-31-2011, 09:32 PM

The article I read said he's up for consideration in 2013 along with Joe Torre and Bobby Cox, so I guess the five-year rule does not apply to senior citizen managers.

Alex · 10-31-2011, 09:51 PM

Yep, just looked it up. Did not realize that the 5-years retired rule gets reduced to 6 months if you're over 65.

The rules don't mention that specifically for players, I guess we'll know the chemicals are winning when it becomes necessary.

Guess I'll have think about my prediction (though he won't be inducted until 2014 since the committee for managers is bi-annual).

Three Gold Gloves announced for LA and McCourt finally agrees to sell.

It's a good day to be a Dodger fan.

It keeps getting (potentially) better: Peter O'Malley joins list of potential bidders for Dodgers

Strangler Lewis · 11-02-2011, 10:04 PM

He should move the team. Los Angeles just isn't a supportive enough baseball market to support that many teams.

Alex · 11-02-2011, 10:26 PM

Back to Brooklyn I say.

The other encouraging rumor is that Steve Garvey and Orel Hershiser are trying to put together an investment group.

Moonliner · 11-03-2011, 08:05 AM

So who gets the keep the (estimated) $1,000,000,000 from the sale? Is McCort the sole owner or just the lead figure in a consortium?
