Dodgers CEO Fired after Marital Separation

(AP)  A lawyer for Los Angeles Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt says she has been fired after her marital separation from the team's owner.

Attorney Dennis Wasser says his client learned Thursday she was no longer employed by the Dodgers, who ended their season Wednesday in a National League championship series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

McCourt and team owner Frank McCourt separated earlier this month.

Wasser says Jamie McCourt is disappointed and saddened by her termination. He says she'll address her firing in court.

Jamie McCourt was the highest-ranking woman in Major League Baseball.

Talk about insult to injury? Next thing they will be blaming their flop on her leadership skills. Sorry Joe and Frank, it was not her fault that you guys got beat. The Phillies were a better team this year especially after that key pitching acquisition (Lee) you should have grabbed. There is always next year, 3rd time is a charm. You had a great year, a little nerve wracking but well done. You guys have the nucleus of a great team for years to come. Go Angels. (P.S. Who gets custody of the kids?)
