...need for four different Philadelphia pitchers and the power with which the Dodgers greeted each one seemed to keynote this contest, and unfortunately for the Phils, may keynote the entire series if they cannot come up with a mound humbler of some sort. Retread Dick Rutheven gets his chance against L.A. lefty Tommy John when the series resume in Philly tomorrow...
...similar retread vein is the road production of The Wiz, now at the Schubert Theater (where it will boogie until September 3). Again, this was one hell of a show four or five years ago. And you'll still have to pay grotesque prices to see this admittedly enjoyable production of The Wizard of Oz gone funky. Is it worth a $9 minimum? We think not.

Football retread Brian Buckley could bag his designated hitter chores to do some outfielding...
