In court this morning, Jamie McCourt's bid to be immediately reinstated as CEO of the Dodgers was rejected. Frank McCourt's lawyer dismissed her former role as "ceremonial" anyway (something they never said when she was there, by the way), but argued returning her to the ownership suite would disrupt the team. There will have to be a trial to decide the complex issue of who owns the team, Commissioner Scott Gordon said. Neither battling spouse was in court, just lawyers.

Next up: a Dec. 15 hearing on Jamie's request for a sizable monthly support payment.
