I already read Deadspin, which is the Gawker media sports blog, but now here's this charming post from Jezebel, on the Dodgers needing a mom to explain baseball to ladies.
From the LA Daily News article, we get such sweetly condescending quotes as:
One specific example occurred during a recent run through when Sweeney made references to the six hole, Zelasko said.
"I know what that is in the lineup, but I said to him, `Mark, tell people what you mean.' It's the sixth spot in the lineup," Zelasko told City News Service.
Zelasko said that in their goal of educating fans, "we're not going to talk down to people."
"If we miss a pitch, its going to be OK if we're educating people," Zelasko said.
and
Zelasko, the mother of a 7-year-old son, Trevor, and a 3-year-old daughter, Isabela, said she "might include what kids are saying at school" and "what moms and dads are saying" when they pick up their children in the broadcasts.
"Sometimes as broadcasters we almost lose touch with the people that are actually out there watching and listening to the game," Zelasko said. "I'll have an ear to the ground, just being a mom and being out there."
All I can say is, Alyssa Milano will not stand for this.

Casey Blake is still a douche
Casey Blake officially responded to the media in regards to his mocking Brian Wilson. "I was excited. I got out of my box a little bit. Apparently they got real upset over it. Whatever." Whatever? Really? I know that Blake was more than likely unaware of the meaning behind Wilson's gesture, but come on really? I cannot wait until August when we get to play the Dodgers.
