If Tommy Told You to Jump Off a Cliff....

I did my best to stay interested in the Dodger Game this afternoon -- the Dodgers refer to their weekday, day games as "A Staff Meeting."

But if even the ultimate cheerleader Tommy Lasorda is on his cellphone in the middle of the game -- how am I supposed to remain riveted as the Dodgers lose again to the National League Central Division Basement Dwelling Cincinnati Reds?

I shouldn't be critical. Maybe someone, somewhere in the world needed a pep talk right then. Or more likely Tommy was making dinner reservations at some Bucca di Beppo.
