Good Journalism Can Heal

       Yes, the Dodgers lost big 9-0 to St. Louis in their last game of the National League playoff series.  It was humiliating, disconcerting, and deeply sad for Dodger fans.  Two days later Plaschke spoke, ok wrote, in the L.A. Times, acknowledged the worst of it, and then brought us back to the joys, the craziness, the fun, the spiritedness, the team camaraderie, of the regular and post-season all the way (almost) to the end.

       A great sports writer, Plaschke was absolutely in the hearts, minds, and mood of Dodger fans everywhere.  I wrote him these words:

       "Plaschke, You know how to put salve in our wounds and joy in our hearts again."
