It has been a long season for Dodger fans. The closing arguements of the McCourt divorce began  Wednesday in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom.  The battle between Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and his wife Jamie, has plagued the entire Dodger season with bad press. The couple disagree on the terms of a contract that was signed in 2004, which includes details of ownership of Frank's 10 homes, as well as half ownership of the Dodgers.

Meanwhile, the baseball team in question, is on a 3-game winning streak. With the win Wednesday night, National League West foes Colorado Rockies were eliminated from the playoffs.  The Dodgers were lead by Matt Kemp, who hit a grand slam in the 3rd inning.  "I am trying to give back to all the fans, man.  They deserve it..."  Manager Joe Torre said that the team's new goal is to try and finish the season at .500.
