Gonna be a long season

The baseball season just began today and the Dodgers can't even lose their first game until Monday. But Sports by Brooks reports that Long Beach Press-Telegram columnist Doug Krikorian already called on his radio talk show for new owner Frank McCourt and general manager Paul DePodesta to be hung in effigy. DePodesta, by the way, was on Dennis Miller's show on CNBC earlier this week. Mercifully, a dreadful hockey season in L.A. shrugs to an end on Sunday.
