Zelasko's pending Dodger debut reminds us all how shallow some can be when protected by anonymous comments
Jeanne Zelasko's first shot at doing play-by-play for the Dodgers tonight (listen on www.dodgers.com/win) is also previewed here on this version of Deadspin.com (linked here), which links to a lazy City News Service wire version that the Daily News' news section decided it needed to run today (linked here).
Prep by reading all the inane comments that readers actually put into print in the comments part of the story (linked here)

Seriously dude, ENOUGH with the Jeannie Zelasko butt smooching! For weeks you have been rambling about this mediocre at best broadcaster and what a shame it is that the Dodgers didn't choose her over Eric Collins, who has done a remarkable job. This has nothing to do with Zelasko being a woman, it has to do with the fact that there are many more deserving candidates. If she wants to be play by play go to the Minor Leagues like everyone else has to do. You don't start your play by play career in a market like L.A. doing Dodgers games. If she has the talent then let her work her way up.
Reminds me of the Joe McDonnell butt smooching Tom engages in as well. I agree with the above post. Jeanie needs to earn her dues. Terry Smith spent years in the minors and finally was hired by the Angels to do play-by-play on radio. Eric Collins is doing a good job. He just needs to stop saying "My name is Eric Collins." That is annoying. Why didn't Jeanie's hometown beloved Padres hire her? She could have replaced Matt V. who went to the MLB network. Jamie McCourt was generous in hiring her.
