Well, we hate to bring you bad news on a Monday, but we do have to keep you abreast of the luxury news no don’t we?

So baseball player turned restaurateur Steve Finley is sadly having to sell of the BRG Restaurant Group after filing bankruptcy. BRG is the company that owned Finley’s upscale Flight Restaurant in San Diego. The business started having problems last year when he handed out paychecks that bounced, oops.

Finley is blaming bad management and a poor economy on the bankruptcy liquidation, but either way, we’re sad that a dream has failed.

I feel bad for the kitchen staff and other employees that Finley bounced checks to. Six months later, despite assurances from Finley, they have yet to be paid.

That is pretty sleazy.

They screwed a lot of people – should have stuck to baseball…

Dbacks are still in desperate need of a centerfielder (c’mon back!)
