According to Deadspin, McCourt gets to be a minority owner of the parking lots. The hell? Why does this guy get so many concessions in the deal?

The parking lots were a separate business entity from the ball club.

Ugh, suddenly the Dodgers will be big spenders again.  Great job, Nats!  Way to ruin your window of spendability.

Can't wait to get my Dodgerdog at Dodger Town.  Too bad Mannywood went away.

Be careful with your avi, fella.  Bulger may be in jail, but he may have some friends left in the FBI (certainly not among the Angiulos or the Winter Hill gang)..

When the Dodgers are the toast of Lipstick City again I wonder what PA's tune will be?  I seriously doubt Magic "No Glove No Love" Johnson is going to be a cheap miser and field a AAAA at best team.

"We fell short in other ways," Kasten says.

When asked to explain what that means, he says, "It means what it means."

And what does that mean?

"Just leave it at that," says Kasten.

Now when you can't explain the small stuff, what happens when it comes time to comment on monumental decisions?

The future of the Dodgers rests with Kasten, the new owners say. So knowing that, I wondered why he left the Washington Nationals. The Nationals appear to be an organization on the rise, but when Kasten's contract expired, he was gone.

"When my obligation was over I chose to leave," says Kasten. "It was for personal reasons."

Talk around baseball is Kasten was at odds with ownership, which could be pertinent here down the road if true. When I ask if he had such problems, he says, "The reasons I left are personal and you will allow that I can keep them personal."

Rizzo was a better baseball guy, and the Lerners don't seem like the types to pay a team president to do nothing. If you look at their executive titles, they have a bunch of vps and two coos, but no president or ceo

Rizzo seems like he's not really a schmoozer or a polished 'people person' ('used car salesman') like Kasten is.  I think Rizzo or one of his people has gone to Boz more than once in order to try to force the Lerners to agree to something whereas Kasten would have tried to keep something like that in-house and to sell it to the Lerners on his own.

Rizzo didn't replace Kasten, he replaced Bowden.  Feffer replaced Kasten.
