Don Drysdale. Steve Garvey. Steve Sax. Kirk Gibson. Orel Hershiser. Mike Piazza. Paul LoDuca. Eric Gagne. And of course, Tommy Lasorda. Yuck. There are people who happen to be Dodgers, and then there are out-and-out Dodgers, no matter what other uniforms they don before or after the Blue.
Who from this year’s team is most likely to be enshrined in the Blecch! Stupid Dodger, Crawl Back into Your Lousy Little Hole Hall of Fame?

A few tidbits to amuse you while you watch, listen to or follow the game online this afternoon:
* Let’s hope Mets manager Jerry Manuel starts a major shift by saying this. (Link tip to Baseball Prospectus’s Will Carroll.)
* Shawn Hoffman, also of BP, takes a nuanced cut at the oft-repeated conventional wisdom that this summer’s trade deadline will offer several fire sales.
* Before you call the ump color-blind, take this test.
* RIP Harry Kalas. I hope Jon Miller doesn’t retire his spot-on Kalas impersonation.
