Beat L.A.! (past tense)

PrintMan, it's a good feeling to take two of three from the Dodgers, putting them below .500, and essentially ending their playoff h...
What the? They're still only 1.5 games back? I hate this stupid division. I hate that I'm rooting for the Diamondbacks. I hate that if the Giants could have fielded a decent offense, they'd be right in the middle of a playoff chance. I hate that the Padres are somehow even worse than the Giants, and that they have even less of an immediate future to look forward to.
Wait, no. I love that last one.
And I love that, right now, Dodger partisans are dwelling on the wacky sequences of boots and flubs that allowed the Giants to win two straight come-from-behind wins. Gift-wrapped wins are just as sweet when another team gives them; they're even sweeter when they're given by the Dodgers.

Please consider moving there in late 2010 or early 2011. Thank you.

I was at the game on Friday and they lost. Then again I was at the game on Saturday and they won. Pretty sure that didn’t have anything to do with it.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I was at the saturday game
First time I had ever sat in the Club Level – 205 i think. Fun place to sit for sure. Was amazing to see bonds again.
Beat LA!

Yeah I dig the Club Level. I actually prefer the view from there even to lower deck. Plus the full bar inside is always a perk.

I had the best seats
I’ve ever had at the Big Phone…for Friday night’s game.
Went out of town Saturday, got back late last night. Missed Bonds, missed the come-from-behind victories, missed everything good and pure.
Folks, I’d be happy to go back to Carmel again if that’s what it takes.
No, my Crazy Crab bobblehead is not for sale.
My season tix
are the best seats in the house…in my opinion. I’m in View box 315, row 3, and I LOVE THEM. I have an incredible view of the bay, I can see the plays develop from up above, and I’m really close to the field.
Riddle:
I wear blue and white, I arrive to baseball games in the 4th inning, I leave in the 7th inning, my team's home stadium plays movie trailers between innings, I read magazines during the game, I play with beach balls, and I love the wave.
Who am I?
I sat at home and watched them on the computer
fun times. SIGH if only I lived closer to the teams I root for…
I was at Sunday’s game. I’ll take credit for that win since Goofus Jr, his friend and I had our rally caps on. Even Mrs. Goofus (whose dreadlocks don’t fit under a cap) went rally visor.
Great success!

I rocked the rally cap on Saturday

I wish I knew you were taking a picture, I would have smiled. Here’s me in the third deck.

Yeah dude, if you could try a little harder next time, that'd be great.

Ha! Forget smiling, I can’t believe you had your finger up your nose!

Yeah I know, not at my best but that booger found its way onto a Dodger fan as I taunted them out of the Big Phone.

Dodgers fans eat their young.

Wilson to have season ending surgery..

You too? I saw the headline and for a split second I froze. You’d think they’d have the decency to say RANGERS in all caps.

Hell. This officially makes this the crappiest fantasy season for me.

Everything comes down to poo
I did not realize so many of us made a reference to dung.

In a thread referencing the Dodgers
it inevitably comes down to dung.
