    So can anyone explain why just about every other sports icon or celebrity has their ``baggage'' exposed on espn.com -- yet tommy lasorda is left unscathed? Could it be that there are so many baseball apologists working for the site that they conspired to keep lasorda's dalliances out of site?

    Yes, that's it. Don't tell anyone, but there is a whole list of guys who are NEVER to be touched, under any circumstances. Lasorda's not even in the top 10. They've also decreed to not print any negative stories about Sparky Anderson, Ron Cey or Don Zimmer this week.

    I heard Steve Balboni is untouchable, too, because he plays on an ESPN company softball team. He plays first base, wears the No. 69, and swings from his cleats every at bat.

    Add Rusty Meachem to that list too.

    Hmmm -- did Steve Balboni or Rusty Meacham every pay $1500 to pop in porn and get oral sex? -- after they bragged they are so wholesome--criticized drug users--and declared themselves an ambassador of da game.

    Hell, that's nothing. You should see the John Wooden story they've kept buried for a year. I believe Peter Golenbock broke it.

    So why do you have a vendetta against Tommy Lasorda? If you answer that for us first, maybe we can answer your question.

    Some busted Hollywood Madame has a book, in which she is supposedly going to name him as a john.

    That's fine and it should be a story, but why is this guy so concerned about it? That's all I'm curious about.

    He doesn't have Anna Nicole to worry about anymore... Tommy Lasorda is as good a new cause as any.

    That would be pretty funny if the real Howard Stern had an axe to grind with Tommy Lasorda.

    no vendetta--just want everyone to be treated fairly? everyone is all over me -- yet tommy remains unscathed-why? or better yet, could he post the video to raise money for charity?
