Selig’s decision to pull the sale from Thursday’s agenda upset Moores so much that he was the only one of the 30 owners to vote against Selig’s two-year contract extension.

I don't think that's going to help much.

What? I thought this sale went down a couple years ago. Who owns the team? And if Moorad doesn't own it, how does he get to vote against Selig.

I think Moorad's group is majority owner, but another owner owns the rest. I think this deal is about Moorad's group taking complete control.

From TFA, Moorad owns 49% now, and he and his group is trying to own 100%.

Oh shoot, when I first saw this I was both sad and excited. Excited because I thought Moorad was selling the team, but sad that my interest in the Pads has waned so much that I didn't even know a sell was going down. Oh well if baseball is really looking at theses things closer that's a positive.

Yeah, but was he really doing that badly before? It would have taken some serious due diligence to uncover the Madoff scheme before hand, and, while the McCourts are a certainly shady, they'd still be owning the Dodgers with no obvious issues if it weren't for the divorce. There are some filthy stinking rich baseball owners, but not many who can buy a former spouse out of their $1B+ baseball team (as I recall, the Padres were sold to Moorad for the same reason, just not such a public and ugly manner).

And if Moorad doesn't own it, how does he get to vote against Selig.

He didn't. It was Moores who voted.

Does anyone else think Moores may be wearing a toupe ?

Fantastic hair piece. Plumage AND aggression.

Commissioner Bud Selig is not convinced of the net worth of Moorad’s limited partners and is putting them “under a microscope,” Forbes reports.

I think the fact Jeffrey listed Eric Byrnes as contributing $30M in equity in return for a 3 year IOU was Selig's tip-off.
