Take The Plaschke Challenge!

Today, 6-4-2 entered this room of Dodger fans and replaced the real Bill Plaschke with a fake one! Can you tell the difference? First, here's Plaschke Number One:
So this is what it's come to.

The Dodgers heart and soul has been replaced by a machine.

A computer doesn't create team chemistry.

A computer doesn't replace great character.

A computer doesn't inspire teammates to play harder.

A computer doesn't lead.

But a computer told Paul DePodesta that the Dodgers most inspirational player wasn't needed any more.

Perhaps there was a faulty wire in the laptop.

And now, Plaschke Number Two!
It could be worse.

Paul DePodesta could also be your gardener.

The lawn needs trimming? Fire up the backhoe.

The trees need pruning? Timberrr!

In reshaping the Dodger lineup this weekend by subtracting strengths and adding questions and whiffing on Johnson, the Dodger general manager could be a genius.

Then again, he could be Edward Scissorhands.

All right, Dodger fans -- time's up. Did you guess which Plaschke is the real one? If you said number two, you're right! If you agreed with him, 6-4-2 has a baseball autographed by every single Arkansas Traveler Bill Stoneman didn't trade yesterday. If you didn't, you win a chalk pencil you can use to write Paulie's and Mota's numbers on your very own Dodger cap, just like Dreifort and Lima!
And a big tip of the ol' 6-4-2 Dodger cap to Dodger Thoughts reader Suffering Bruin, who came up with that. Simply hi-larious.

Comments:
I wasn't really concerned about the content of Plaschke's column as the manner in which it was delivered -- single-sentence paragraphs, which SB aped to great effect.
