WEST COST GEORGE

The other day I mentioned that Frank McCourt should become the WEST COAST GEORGE.

The more I think about it the more sense it makes.

The historical traditional rivalry between the Yankees and the Dodgers is a classic rivalry that should be rekindled and nurtured.

The Yankees and the Dodgers need to be in another World Series and the fastest way to make that happen resides in the bank account of Frank McCourt.

WEST COAST GEORGE can bring Los Angeles into the next level of the financial sports fiasco by simply accepting the reality that not only can he be the WEST COAST GEORGE...but he owes it to the city and to the fans that support the team....and the fans support the team no matter what they do....so imagine what could happen if he decided to become WEST COAST GEORGE.

If the Dodgers payroll doubled to 200 million, which is Yankee territory, the following things would happen.

A ROD would be a Dodger
Curt Shilling would be a Dodger
Milton Bradley.....just kidding
Aaron Rowland would be a Dodger
Andrew Jones would be a Dodger
Parking at Dodger Stadium would be $50
All you can eat Right Field Pavilion seats would be $100
Those seats right behind home plate would be $1200 a game
Nolan Ryan would come out of retirement
Alyssa Milano would become the new Mrs. McCourt after a bitter divorce
Programs at the games would be $25
Dodger Dogs would be $25
Cokes would be $15
Beer would be $20
Using the restrooms would require tokens that are sold on line for $3
Vin Scully would start charging for each word he spoke

BECOMING THE WEST COAST GEORGE IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO BECAUSE IT'S TIME THAT LOS ANGELES SHOWED NEW YORK WHAT IT MEANS TO SPEND MONEY AND THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT IS BY BUYING STUFF.

A BEACH HOUSE FOR $33 MILLION TO GO ALONG WITH A $25 MILLION DOLLAR HOME IN HOLMBY HILLS.
(ALREADY DONE)
A MANAGER FOR $4 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
(ALMOST DONE)

Why not just take it to the next level and elevate LOS ANGELES to a place that makes NEW YORK look like the wannabe when it comes to living lavishly.

I honestly think Frank McCourt would like to be the WEST COAST GEORGE but he's afraid the fans won't buy into it.

I'M HERE TO TELL YOU FRANK.......WE ARE ALREADY BUYING INTO IT.....AND THE ONLY WAY WE CAN PROVE IT TO YOU IS BY GIVING YOU MORE MONEY.....BUT FIRST YOU'VE GOT TO SPEND MORE MONEY.

SPEND MORE TO MAKE MORE....now isn't that the American way?

FRANK.....YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND THE FIRST STEP IS IN DECIDING TO BECOME THE...

WEST COAST GEORGE
once you make the decision we can change your name from
WEST COAST GEORGE
to
McCOURTLAND
or
MALIBUMcCOURT
or
FRANK'SVILLE
or
any clever name that your publicity department comes up with...

I THINK YOU CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN SIMPLY BY ACCEPTING THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION.

YOU CAME FROM THE EAST COAST AND NOW YOU ARE A WEST COAST GUY AND YOU NEED TO CARVE YOUR OWN NICHE AND THE WAY TO DO THAT IS BY PUTTING THE YANKEES IN THEIR PLACE REGARDING SALARIES AND PAYROLL.

SHOW THOSE CONCRETE MONKEYS WHAT IT MEANS TO GO HOLLYWOOD!

AND FOLLOW UP THE JOE TORRE DEALIO WITH

A ROD....

AND DON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT IT...THE PITCHES AND CATCHERS REPORT TO SPRING TRAINING IN FOUR MONTHS......

TIME'S A WASTING

BEE ALL YOU CAN BEE

and that's my lead in to Jerry Seinfeld's animated new film which attempts to address Colony Collapse Disorder...which I will discuss tomorrow.
