Lasorda offering love advice ... RUN!

deanna.jpgWhile the Dodgers are in San Diego today, ABC is taping an episode of “The Bachelorette” Season Four at Dodger Stadium. Contestant DeAnna Pappas is supposed to narrow down her list of suitors based on their performances in a home run derby.

Tommy Lasorda is also scheduled to be there, no doubt with some financial compensation, to "provide expert analysis" -- this, according to the Dodgers' daily media notes -- as the guys take some swings at love.

Issue No. 1: Isn't the 80-year-old freak better suited to give advice to the gentlemen .... such as, don't visit a Madame who's gonna put you misspelled name in her tell-all book?

Issue No. 2: Do they have a seven-second delay on the show, even though it's not live?

noproposal2.jpgThe "lucky winner" of the HR Derby (are we talking Whiffle ball and giant plastic bat just trying to hit it out of the infield?) is guaranteed some one-on-one time with DeAnna in a luxury suite.

The show is expected to air on Monday, May 26.

DeAnna, unfortunately, has apparently been through this charade before.

The 25-year-old was a contestant on "The Bachelor," and was one of the two finalists before she got dumped (as evidenced by this non-exclusive photo from that show). The Georgia girl is trying to make 25 men just as miserable this time around.

Just as long as she's not pulling Tommy along for another joy ride down to I-Like-It-Rough-ville.
