From Yahoo news -

LOS ANGELES – A lawyer for Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt says she has been fired after her marital separation from the team's owner.

Attorney Dennis Wasser says his client learned Thursday she was no longer employed by the Dodgers, who ended their season Wednesday with a National League championship series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

McCourt and team owner Frank McCourt separated earlier this month.

Wasser says Jamie McCourt is disappointed and saddened by her termination. He says she'll address her firing in court.

Jamie McCourt was the highest-ranking woman in Major League Baseball.

This was a hot topic on the sports radio today,....

For those of you not subjected to the NY Yankees radio team, the announcer, John Sterling, is possibly the most annoying homer in the business. He has stupid nicknames/catch phrases for every player on the Yankees. (If I hear the "It's an A-bomb for A-rod" call once more I'm going to rip the radio out of the car dashboard) His color commentator, Susan Waldmann, is actually pretty knowledgable about the game, but has a really, really, annoying accent. Between the pair, it's tough to listen to a Red Sox-Yankees game out here (If you're a Sox fan).

I hated Charlie Steiner when he first came to the D's-he's a good announcer,

I cannot stand Chris Berman in any way shape or form. LOL, I always dream of meeting people (stars) on the street and letting them know what I think.

I want to put my foot in the tube when CB does the "RAIDUHS" schtick.

They are literally the raid DUHS!

I have to say that Vin Scully is the absolute best.

He's probably as impartial as he can be and he's a delight to listen to.


"Welcome to D Stadium tonight where the Dodgers have a date with the San Diego Padres. The Padres come in on the wave of a 5 game winning streak and for a piece of first place in the division....."

He makes it sound like you are really missing a great game and as he goes along he mixes stats with trivia that you really don't care about - but you are really interested in the player's career before he finishes.

Chick Hearn is still missed and the announcer for the El Lay Kings-Bob Miller- is another solid dude.



Chick Hearn-Lakers-40 years
Bob Miller-Kings -36 years
Vin Scully-Dodgers-59 years.


135 years of broadcasting! and it's all here in El Lay!
