"Anyone is better than Frank McCourt.

Listen to me — I'm starting to sound like the Screaming Meanie.

But in truth, we don't know.

The new owner of the Dodgers will not be selected because he considers the team a local treasure.

It will not matter if he's a good guy, makes himself available to the fans like Arte Moreno or treats the Dodgers like just another investment in his portfolio.

There's no way of knowing whether he will be from New York and have the Dodgers wearing their Brooklyn duds more, spend like the Red Sox or replace Nancy Bea Hefley with a mascot.

He could be the guy who owns the Rams, and how good were they this season?

Right now, we just don't know because the only thing that matters is how McCourt benefits from someone else becoming owner.

So with the second round of bidding underway, I was wondering if anyone besides McCourt is really assured of being better off with such a change.

Certainly not Page 2.

Unless the new guy turns out to be a bigger Bozo with Kim Kardashian as his wife — now there's someone who really could be the face of the Dodgers — it's just not going to be as easy pickings without the Parking Lot Attendant and Screaming Meanie.

And no way of knowing yet if you will be better off, no matter what you think of the Parking Lot Attendant.

Some folks probably thought the Dodgers could do no worse than Fox's ownership."
