Citizens,
Dark days lie ahead for the storied franchise we love so much. As sports fans we love to assign blame wherever possible. Usually that blame lies with the owner. Who can we blame here? The blame started with Fox and Rupert Murdoch, now the blame sleeps on the doorstep of each and every one of the McCourt residences. I would even bet that instead of the word "Welcome" on their doormats, they read "blame".
It's fair to say that Frank and Jamie have ruined a city treasure (hopefully only momentarily). It started by hiring Ned Colletti as GM. In fairness, he made one or two good moves. He brought Voldemort in Dreadlocked form to L.A., and brought in a few other good players. However, he has severely depleted a farm system that has perennially been heralded as one of the best. The few talents that the farm system does indeed have are years away from being Major League ready.
Apart from our on field play, Frankie boy has attempted to make the Dodger fan experience aimed strictly at the wealthy. The only significant changes to the stadium and game day experience have been to the field level and dugout club seats. Those tickets are extraordinarily expensive to the average fan. Furthermore, ALL ticket prices have increased. Lastly, as a diehard and lifelong fan I was mortified to learn that the only way I would be able to get tickets to see the Yankees come to L.A. would be to purchase a mini plan or season tickets. YOU MUST BE KIDDING!
There are many other gripes that can be made. Feel free to state your own. I implore you to sign the guestbook and submit your name to an online petition that I will be creating in the coming days. The petition will be simple. We will let everyone know that we want Frank and Jamie to get the McCourt out of Los Angeles.
Respectfully Submitted,
Dodgertown District Attorney

Citizens of Dodgertown,
I have elected myself as the District Attorney of Dodgertown, the symbolic home of our great and storied franchise. Unfortunately, Dodgertown has become a bad neighborhood, and we've witnessed property value plummet. I vow to voice my opinion and speak for the frustrated Dodger Fan everywhere.
The Dodgers Baseball Club was once a symbol of two things: family and pride. Let's restore those symbols together.
