I'm not ready to give up this blog quite yet. Waiting on the new season, first full season under new ownership. Can't wait to see the latest renovations.

Matt Kemp - GQ model?!?

I love it! So kooky!!! Only in L.A.

Dodgertown!

OK, it’s still 4 days until the first Spring Training Game, but Dodger Stadium is keeping busy hosting college teams! My husband worked this event today, and I (sadly) had to miss it because of my work…still, love that the stadium is open for baseball on the last day of February…the regular season will be upon us soon!

Last night I was sweating it out like nobody's business...the Los Angeles Dodgers had to go THIRTEEN (13) innings against the Pittsburgh Pirates?!? Oh, NO!

Andre Ethier's 2-run homer in the THIRTEENTH inning actually brought a tear to my eye, and I heard more than a single tear in Vin Scully's exhausted eye AND voice...Un-fucking believable...Andre knows it's up to him...He can't get on base and wait for M.R. to do something/nothing....duh! Manny is done...I heard the boos last night - not for the ground outs or pop outs or fly outs that he had, but definitely, definitely for the strike out looking. UGLY, Manny, very UGLY...Juan Pierre on the other hand - a stand-up triple!?! Why does Torre not find a way for him to play every day???

Signed, Lisa, anxiously awaiting the post season!

Not Much to Say Lately

I was going to apologize for not posting for a while, but then again, what has there been to post about? The Dodgers are in a series with the Padres, who are so far out of it they might as well be on Jupiter. And they lost the first game to the Padres. And barely won the second game. And are losing the rubber match in the bottom of the 9th. Not acceptable...

Andre Ethier, you're our only hope....Andre Ethier, you're our only hope...

Damn, pop-up. What's next? Just 3-1/2 games over the Rockies....losing, losing, losing. What will happen in Arizona when this San Diego series should have been a guaranteed BIG sweep?!?

Dodgers narrowly beat out D'Backs

Thank you, our fine outfielders, Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and Juan Pierre...Excellent job scraping out the win tonight. (Yes, Manny played the whole game - Pierre only pinch hit, but he got the job done and Manny did not.)

Dusty's Sad Face

Well, I wasn't so happy seeing Dusty look happy playing game one of the late August series against our Blue. Not sure how the Dodgers could lose in Cincinnati, but it happened. Today's another story, and I do feel bad again seeing Dusty look so sad. Just like he did when the Reds were in Los Angeles. So, it isn't great seeing Dusty looking unhappy, but it is back to the natural order of things. Juan Pierre is in the game; all things are right with the world. Bottom of the 7th, Dodgers lead 11 - 4.

Final: 11 - 4, good enough!

Cubs Visit Los Angeles

Well, that's three down in the four-game series, and I'm pretty happy with the results so far. Interesting that Manny continues to do little-to-nothing, but the team is coming right along without him, just like they have the whole season. I swear, I've been watching him swing away for two weeks and that man is just not seeing the ball. On the other hand, Matt Kemp certainly is seeing it and feeling it: he hit a 449-foot homer today, one of the longest ever seen in this stadium.



The new pitching additions aren't hurting us, but I'll be glad when Kuroda gets back! He's doing OK, and chipped in $25,000.00, as did Bud Selig for ThinkCure. It's kind of amazing the outpouring and participation from fans, but then again, cancer is something that affects all of us, in one way or another. Looking forward to a sweep tomorrow!

Scott in Burnie's Seat

Hey, not sure whether Norman and Roy appreciated it, but they were very gracious about my cousin Scott coming to the game w/me tonight and taking the seat that Norman and I usually use for our bags and snacks.

Tonight was great because EVERYBODY got a hit:

Furcal singled in 4th and scored a run.

Pierre (playing Center field for an ailing Matt Kemp) doubled gorgeously in the 8th.

Ethier singled in the 3rd, tripled in the 5th, and doubled, scoring Pierre in the 8th. Great night for Andre, just short a HR for the cycle!

Blake didn't do much, even bobbled an easy catch TWICE, but he did single in the 5th.

Loney walked in the second, singled, scoring Manny in the 5th, and walked again in the 7th. Not a bad night for my young man, James!

Martin doubled in the 4th and again in the 7th, scoring Loney from First Base! Nice night for Li'l Russ...

Hudson singled in the 2nd, again in the 4th and yet again in the 5th, scoring a run (Loney).

Billingsly was pretty damned sound on the mound! Singled in the 4th to score Martin from 2nd base.

To top it off, Sherrill and Broxton did a fine job of wrapping things up for the Dodgers. A really nice night in baseball, all in all! Can't wait to get back to the stadium for the rubber match tomorrow night!
