Money Can Bring Out the Worst in People

OK, Jason Reid, we get it! Kevin Brown makes a lot of money. How much? Oh yes, $105 million. What, we may not remember this sum? So you’re going to tell us how much every time he pitches? Thank you, we wouldn’t remember without your constant reminder.

Your precious column inches would be better served by reporting that he keeps the Dodgers in every game he pitches and, when provided adequate defense, gives the team the opportunity to win each outing. This is what the Dodger brass is paying him the big bucks for and he’s earning every penny.

Well, I watched Kevin Brown today [May 2]. Poor guy! We need to give him more money maybe? Or buy him his own private jet? Or maybe extend his contract until he can collect Social Security? We have to do something! I can’t stand any more games like the one I saw today, unless I move to Philadelphia.

Kevin Brown lost big to the Phillies and Davey Johnson blamed the loss on the wind.

Isn’t that amazing, each time Curt Schilling pitched the wind stopped.

Carlos Perez’s odd knee injury: It buckles in the sixth inning.
