yup… still going

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Dedicated to a Kindred Spirit:

I have popped a number of beach balls in my time. My first was in 2003. My record is 4 in one game on August 16, 2004. And no, despite the pleadings of those around me, I will not stop.
1) The beach balls are a distraction from the game. If […]

Manny’s back

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

From PetCo Park in San Diego, July 3, 2009. Yeah, I forgot to post them earlier. Whatever. This is why I will never be able to have a blogging career. I’m too slow and lazy.
Anyway, onto Manny’s first game back.

Andre Ethier at BP.

Matt Kemp.

Russell Martin tries to catch a fly out.

Manny came back but didn’t […]

Dodger Stadium drops the ball

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

So after all these years, I was told yesterday that my Nikon D80 with my 80-200mm lens is not allowed in Dodger Stadium anymore. Security dude said it’s not permitted. I told him that was very strange, since I’d brought that camera and lens to a total of 100 games over the past 3 years […]

not to get all TMZ on you but…

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

…I think this would have been funny if it were non-famous people too. Rick Fox and his woman Eliza Dushku were at the Dodger game last night watching my boys in blue go down to the evil OC empire. Of course they were in the $500/seat section, and around the 8th inning they’d had enough […]

if I were a sports photographer, I would have better seats

Friday, January 30th, 2009

That would be sweet. I wonder if I can get a media pass for my own blog. Then I could see the game up close. Like these people.

Not that I’m complaining, because I am very fortunate and lucky to get to go to the games at all. But I think it would be totally awesome […]

ninth inning win - number two

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

The Dodgers must know that my life’s been difficult right now, because today Nomar pulled off a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth to cheer me up. Sigh. I love them.

this is why I need better season tickets

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

Too many people in front of me. They block my view of the winning run with a play at the plate. So fucking annoying.
Anyway.

Last night’s game was fun. And had a walk-off hit by Ethier. Thank Vin for good baseball. It’s been a rough week.

They keep hitting Manny. It’s getting ridiculous.

Thank you, Dodgers. You have […]

dodgers vs. braves

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

The pitching has been fucking awesome this week. Tonight Lowe pitched a perfect game into the 7th. Wow.
Final score: Dodgers 2, Braves 1.
And a few photos from tonight:

Matt Kemp hits a home run to score the first run of the night.

Andruw Jones breaks up a double play by mowing down 2B Johnson.

Stupid Braves outfielder Francouer […]

I admit it

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I don’t want them to fix the “broken bat problem.” I like the maple. Because then I get to try to shoot broken bats, and that makes me happy. Plus I don’t sit close enough to get impaled.
