Meanwhile, Up the 5 at the Other Place . . .

Will the Dodgers’ whining ever stop? So far, they have blamed losses on bad hops, bad breaks, cold weather, umpires, a fan in the fourth row, the stadium in Montreal and an organist in Philly. Now, Offerman (a million errors in ‘92, a .150 average in ‘93) is moaning about a “lack of respect.”

Gee, these guys aren’t just good, they’re really likable, too.
