"Los Angeles collectively has given us one big bear hug," Frank McCourt tells MLB.com.
Look, Frank - over here! Over here!
Yeah, that's right - me! The one with arms folded. The one not participating in your collective bear hug.
Oh - and hey, look - there's people on my left, people on my right, people in front of me and people behind me. They're not hugging you either.
Frank, I know there are people who have responded positively to your opening comments, who think that your trashing of Dan Evans' position as Dodger general manager despite the stability and discipline he has brought to the team is welcome, who believe you when you say you're going to bring a championship to Los Angeles.
But you insult us when you make statements that deny that there has been any skepticism and discontent greeting your arrival.
Don't start your ownership tenure by implying that Dodger fans who are nervous about you don't matter. It's not a good way to go.
