We don’t know how long they will last (at least the ones that have more than a passing resemblance to the Dodgers logo), but if nothing else, it’s taking a bad moment for the Dodger faithful, a good play on words, and turning it into a great piece of merchandise.

The LA Dodgers might have a paycheck issue on their hands on Thursday, June 30. That's because the team has filed for bankruptcy,shocking but true it was reported by NBC Sports. Owner Frank McCourt cannot meet the said teams expenditures, including being able to make payroll for players and employees. I found this here: Los Angeles Dodgers file Chapter 11 bankruptcy
