| The Dodgers are a great historic franchise, and there are really only three things about them that merit criticism:  1) the fans, 2) the ownership, and 3) the team itself.
 The Fans:  They've never shaken or attempted to shake the "come late/leave early/baseball is just another form of disposable family entertainment" rep, except, of course, to cultivate a counterbalancing thuggishness.
 
 The Ownership  Dey took da team oudda Brooklyn.  More recently, they seem bent on giving the George Steinbrenner era a run for its money.
 
 The Team  Hard to tell from a distance, and it is the nature of the era, but is there anyone other than Kershaw that you look at and think "I can't imagine him in another uniform."
