And it's not THAT Schieffer that was involved with the Texas Rangers, either...
It's Tom Schieffer, and MyFoxLA's Jeff Michael talked to him...

Tom Schieffer Agrees to Oversee Dodgers: MyFoxLA.com
Here's the official statement from Major League Baseball...
"Pursuant to my authority as Commissioner, I informed Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt today that I will appoint a representative to oversee all aspects of the business and the day-to-day operations of the Club.
I have taken this action because of my deep concerns regarding the finances and operations of the Dodgers and to protect the best interests of the Club, its great fans and all of Major League Baseball.
My office will continue its thorough investigation into the operations and finances of the Dodgers and related entities during the period of Mr. McCourt's ownership.
I will announce the name of my representative in the next several days. The Dodgers have been one of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, and we owe it to their legion of loyal fans to ensure that this club is being operated properly now and will be guided appropriately in the future."
Selig has also thought of putting the Dodgers up for sale- using the "best interest of baseball" clause, but nothing has happened yet...
Frank McCourt is thinking of suing MLB for taking over...
Rebecca Hall has the background on that cockamamie idea...
