Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports that Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt hired a Russian emigre by the name of Vladimir Shpunt who calls himself a scientist and a healer to "think blue" and channel his thoughts and positive energy towards the team's success as he watches them play on television.
Mr. Shput lives near Boston and apparently knows next to nothing about baseball. It is believe that he has been compensated in excess of six figures for his "services".

Now who would have thought that Manny* would be the fourth most bizarre person in that organization.
*Bud Selig denies this but there is "Topps" evidence that on at least one occasion, umpires did not show up at the park and the game was called by computer.

"Now who would have thought that *Manny would be the fourth most bizarre person in that organization." So true.
About that Mr. Shput, I watch 95% of the Yankee games. I can think positively about the Yanks for a cool six figure salary.
