What an ending for the Dodgers

Dear Colorado Rockies,

You’re welcome!

The Los Angeles Dodgers.

Two years in a row the Dodgers did their jobs right just a bit better than half the time. Don’t we all wish we could do our jobs right only half the time and get a raise every year?

Frank McCourt says he hopes he has learned something from this year’s fourth-place finish, yet he says he will keep Grady Little on as manager. It sounds to me as if he hasn’t learned a thing.

I remember channel surfing on the radio while driving home from work about six months ago and catching part of the Dodgers’ first spring training game (a game, incidentally, they lost badly). The announcers were marveling at the high number of scouts from other teams that were in attendance, indicating their respect, admiration and awe at the fine collection of veterans and new young players the Blue had put together, and how all the National League was watching them.

My question is: What are the current qualifications for employment as a Major League Baseball scout?

After the remarkable ill fortune of the Mets and Padres, perhaps Mike Scioscia’s refusal to count his chickens and talk about the playoffs when the Angels were nine up with 10 to play seems less trite and silly.
