The Dodgers entered Wednesday night at 20-23 and are currently averaging just over 36,700 fans down from 43,979 last year. The team’s finances are currently under the watchful eye of MLB and Frank McCourt is making it known that he doesn’t know how he will make payroll come the end of the month.

It seems only right that the next move would come from Jamie McCourt as she has been sitting back waiting for the right time to strike.  According to Bill Shaikin of the LA Times, Jamie is expected to ask a Los Angeles Superior Court judge to order the immediate sale of the Dodgers. Her opinion, is Frank has endangered the value of the Dodgers as he looks for every last drop of money (TV deal with FOX) that could help him save the team.

Jamie will go before Judge Scott Gordon tomorrow who will then set a date to hear her argument. Essentially, she will ask Gordon to act before Selig can seize the Dodgers so that the couple, not the league, would control the sale process. Judge Gordon  who according to sources close to PRO Rumors is a Dodger fan, can not be very happy with the direction the team has gone under the McCourt regime.

With Jamie set to ask the court to force her ex-husband to sell the team, it could benefit Bud Selig and MLB as they will not have to intervine any further by seizing the team from the McCourts and selling the franchise.
