Pitcher Sues His Catcher - What's Baseball Coming To?

You just have to love the Dodgers; they're just a fountain of stories this year.  It will be almost a shame to see the McCourts divorce ever get settled.  Now, the amazingly bizarre stories have spread to the dugout.  Former Dodger pitcher Chan Ho Park has sued his former batterymate, claiming that catcher Chad Krueter stiffed him on a $460,000 loan. 

Park, now pitching for the Phillies, loaned the money to Krueter in 2005.  Krueter signed a promissory note but according to Park's complaint, made only one payment of $290,000.  Park wants the balance together with unpaid interest and fees totaling $226,358.76.

I wonder if the Dodgers can negotiated a bulk rate on court costs with the LA County Superior Court.
