- "The blog post Vin Scully will hate: Let L.A. show its love," via Steve Dilbeck at the LA times.
I’ve written this many times before, because I believe it to be the unmistakable truth: Vin is the single most beloved person in Los Angeles history. That’s not a slight on John Wooden or Shirley Temple or whoever else would make the list. It’s simple testament to the way this man has touched three generations on a nightly basis. He’s part best friend, part lovable grandfather, part favorite teacher, all treasure.

- "Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly faces tough choices for playoff roster ," via Dylan Hernandez at the LA Times.
"There'll be guys that probably won't be happy about not being on the roster when it gets down to it," Mattingly said. "There's going to be some guys that have been around awhile and they're all involved, all competitive and all have made big contributions to what we do. But in the shorter setting, shorter number of games, days off, you go a different route."
- Urinegate? "Breaking a promise, and correcting an error," via Tony Jackson at Dodger Scribe.
The reason I am doing an about-face here is that it has come to my attention that one of the Dodgers players who jumped in the pool — and I will do him the favor of leaving his name out of this for now — openly and loudly bragged after leaving the pool about having urinated in it.
