Now that Frank McCourt has agreed to sell the Dodgers, the New York Yankees have expressed interest in scooping them up.

Other potential buyers include Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and previous Dodgers owner Peter O’Malley, but neither is likely to win a bidding war against the deep-pocketed Yanks.

Historically, an entire baseball team has never been absorbed by another, but it actually makes sense in this case.

“We are going to get all their best players when they hit free agency anyway,” said Yankees GM Brian Cashman. “We figure buying the team now will just cut out the middle man.”

The Chicago Cubs fired manager Mike Quade today, and it didn’t take long for new President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein to find his successor.

“For years, Chicago residents have been blaming our team’s poor play on the curse of the goat,” announced Epstein. “This is why I’ve decided to bring in Billy.”

Epstein is referring to the alleged hex that was placed on the Chicago Cubs in 1945 when a man was asked to leave a World Series game because his pet goat’s odor was bothering fans. The team hasn’t won a championship since.

When told he’d be managed by a farm animal in 2012, starting pitcher Matt Garza seemed relieved. “To be honest, I was afraid they’d hire Ozzie Guillen.”

Just three days after leading his team to a World Series victory, Tony La Russa resigned from the St. Louis Cardinals today. The skipper came under fire for mocking Texas Rangers Manager Ron Washington at a Halloween party over the weekend.

“I didn’t have a problem with Tony dressing up as Ron,” explained Cardinals General Manager John Mozeliak. “I just think that fashioning a crack pipe out of a hollowed-out bat shows poor taste.”

The Rangers’ manager, who tested positive for cocaine in 2010, told OMGG.com he thinks baseball personnel are held to an unfair standard when it comes to Halloween.

“Fans even spit at me when they saw my costume,” said Washington, who went to a party in Arlington on Saturday dressed as David Freese.

According to manager Tony La Russa, a phone mix-up was to blame for the St. Louis Cardinals’ Game 5 loss in the World Series.

“I called over to the bullpen in the eighth inning and asked for superstar closer Jason Motte to get ready,” explained La Russa. “But (bullpen coach Michael) Rockliff apparently heard ‘when you have a minute, please warm up our sh*ttiest pitcher’.”

Tomorrow night, La Russa will be using two tin cans and a roll of twine to assure technology plays no part in the Game 6 outcome.

“It’s a fool-proof plan,” promised the third winningest manager in baseball history. “I’d prefer to use my iPhone, but it doesn’t get reception in the stadium.”

In the midst of the team’s historic September collapse, three Boston Red Sox starting pitchers drank Coors Light in the dugout during games, according to media reports.

“That’s a rumor, and those kind of lies can ruin a man’s reputation,” former World Series MVP Josh Beckett told OMGG.com. “I’d be willing to swear on a stack of bibles that we drank nothing but Guinness.”

The Red Sox, who blew a nine-game Wild Card lead in the season’s final month, say there’s no connection between their losing streak and the team’s mandatory pre-game cocktails.

Lefty Jon Lester, who gave up eight runs in two and two-thirds innings during a September 24th loss to the Yankees, says the flip cup he played moments before the National Anthem actually helped his pitching.

“I felt great on the mound,” recalls Lester. “My only regret that day was calling (home plate umpire Dan) Iassogna a whore.”
