Ok, so I've been very critical of the Dodgers in the last week so its only fair to give praise when it is also due. I was at the Jackie Robinson celebration last night and had pretty much the complete opposite experience as I did O-Day. Of course, parking is still $15 and I was mobbed by about 12 yellow jackets as soon as I pulled in, tried to avoid their placement parking and take my own "good spot" by an exit, but after threats of arrest subsided and I agreed to move, things went smoothly.
(Note to fans, this is something we really should all embrace and try. When you pull in, just ignore the parking tools and park where you want. If we all do it, they'll have to change it eventually because they cannot keep fighting ALL OF US.)
The game was a sell out but I made sure to get there before 4pm to avoid the parking drama. Sat in the loge section and had quite an enjoyable experience. Of course, when the Dodgers beat the Padres and you spend 30 minutes honoring one of our Greats, it is hard to go wrong. Also, I tried the Stadium Grill, which is down in the left field corner of the loge level and it was quite good. Prices are too high but the burgers looked good, my BBQ chicken sandwich was great and my brother wolfed down a steak sandwich without breathing. Nice to see a positive addition.
On the field, Pierre still looks like crap. I don't know if he's just trying too hard or what but he's losing the battle with the Mendoza line and constantly bounces throws in from the OF. Lets get it going Juan! Grady might want to drop him to 7 or 8 to get him going. Wolf didn't look great but he survived and we finally put up some runs, so it all ended up ok. On to AZ for a battle for First Place!!!
