Baseball Readers in Midseason Form

If the Dodgers feel at this early junction that they can pencil Kevin Brown and Darren Dreifort into their five-man starting rotation after their frequent visits to the disabled list, they have a common bond with the Braves and Indians: They are all off their Rocker.

I too am tired of Kevin Brown wasting the money Dodger fans plunk down to watch games. But I don’t care much that Tommy Lasorda feels the same way. How do I know that? Because if Bill Plaschke talks about something with the Dodgers, Lasorda’s lips move.

Darren Dreifort comparing Kevin Brown, a guy who has never delivered the goods as a Dodger, to Nolan Ryan, is like comparing George W. Bush as a wartime leader to FDR. Please.
