Per Bill Shaikin's piece in the Times , but what's weirder is the by-now ridiculous comment from Bud Selig on the McCourt splitup: Mannion said the divorce has not affected the club's day-to-day operations. Commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday he believes the club is "in good hands" for now under McCourt, Colletti and Manager Joe Torre. Damning with faint praise?

"Obviously it's great company," Utley...
