Remember when the defining image of the Dodgers was of Kirk Gibson, struggling against his own body, doing the unthinkable and hitting a home run in the World Series against one of baseball's best pitchers? Or when it was the image of a brave African-American man breaking the color barrier and setting the standard for how baseball and the human heart should interact?

Welp, now the defining image of the Dodgers is of two old rich white people getting a divorce. Congratulations, McCourts, when the Dodgers go up for auction I'm sure we can get you a spot on the Real Housewives of Local Town.

This morning's Dugout follows.

Welcome to the Los Angeles Dodgers Spring Training 2011 Chatroom!

TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: look, after all we've been through, I'm ready to admit when I'm wrong. I'm man enough to own up to my mistakes.
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: Strange Luck was an amazing show and I'm sorry I never watched it.
FantasticMrFOX: apology begrudgingly accepted
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: great, now that that's taken care of, I need to borrow 200 million dollars
FantasticMrFOX: Yeah right, for what? It takes me almost an hour to make that much money.
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: I've been having some marital problems, and I really don't want to lose control of the Dodgers
FantasticMrFOX: Did you try asking another network?
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: I said something to the Food Network, but all they could loan me was a giant cake
FantasticMrFOX: What about Bravo? TLC? WE?
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: all cakes
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: I'm pretty sure all cable television is now is Mad Men and a sh*tload of giant ass cakes
FantasticMrFOX: I can't pay you in a cake that looks like something, all we have right now are popularity contests and Seth MacFarlane cartoons.
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: well how much do you pay him?
FantasticMrFOX: pay Seth MacFarlane?
FantasticMrFOX: does The Cleveland Show look it is made by someone getting PAID to be funny?
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: I guess not. Well, put me on one of your shows!
FantasticMrFOX: hm. Well, if you're willing to focus on dicks and farts, your marital troubles could be made into a sitcom.
TakeHamburglarToMcCourt: trust me, my life has been about nothing but dicks and farts
