‘Boston pities us for what McCourt has done to Dodgers’
Bob Ryan has been ripping into Frank McCourt both at the Globe and on ESPN, prompting an L.A. blogger to headline a post, “Boston pities us for what McCourt has done to Dodgers." Here’s a transcript of Ryan’s brutally glorious takedown of Ballpark Frank on ESPN:
Always remember: Thank goodness Frank didn't buy the Red Sox.
P.S. -- Here's a prior post about my own personal stories about Mr. and Mrs. Ballpark Frank.

We in Boston tried to warn the good people of L.A. that allowing Frank McCourt to enter their lives was a very big mistake. We knew him for the charlatan he is - a parking lot owner and alleged real estate developer. . . How did MLB not see through him? … Now the War-of-the-Roses-style divorce of Frank and Jamie McCourt has brought all the sordid dealings of this disgraceful McCourt regime into public view and has accelerated the demise of the team. But that is actually a good thing, because with this action by the commissioner, the long, difficult process of extricating this golden franchise from these evil caretakers can begin. It takes a special skill to turn one of baseball's top 5 franchises into a dysfunctional mess of an operation. But Frank McCourt is a special man.
Always remember: Thank goodness Frank didn't buy the Red Sox.
