Replacing Chick is hard to do

The Lakers invited their TV game-caller, Paul Sunderland, not to return next season. Turns out he was not the second coming of Chick Hearn. Next!

Also: I hope that someone at Channel 9 took sports guy John Ireland aside after last night's newscast and filled him in that the Washington Nationals, who are visiting at Dodger Stadium, are not a new expansion team. He repeated the gaffe a few times.
