Dodger Blues
 Now that the Red Sox no longer wear the mantle of God's chosen losers, will playwrights, poets, and Boston barkeeps stop citing the team as a metaphor for existential angst? If so, the title of Most Downtrodden Fan Base could be up for grabs. Although the group of L.A. pessimists haunting Dodger Blues wallows in the perceived woes of their sun-dappled team like season-ticket holders waiting out a September rain delay at Wrigley Field (Cubs losing 8 - 1), we won't bedgrudge them their moment in the shade. Still, perusing these funny Dodger quotes, complete with sarcasm-laced annotations worthy of East Coast depressives; browsing the feature Frustrated Fan of the Month; and rummaging through opinions like "So the outfield sucks," we imagine long-suffering fans of the Giants (last World Series W: 1954) clenching their teeth at the self-indulgence. On the other hand, check out the L.A. roster and note the salary of ex-Giant Jason Schmidt (1 - 4, disabled). Now that's grumble-worthy.
