Dodgers Vs. Diamondbacks

Continuing with our recent baseball theme, we went to the Dodger's game last weekend. While the Angels game was a family-friendly wholesome outing, the Dodger's game was more of a spectacle in debauchery. First, we went to this bar near the stadium. There wasn't any sign at all on the building but, luckily, Raul and Audra had been there before.

When we left, I tried to take a picture of this "BAR" sign because I though it was somewhat funny--the only sign of what was inside. However, I kept accidentally taking people's pictures as they came out. This is Melissa, who didn't mind too much.

However, this stranger was no too pleased. At least she didn't beat me up. We were in LA, so maybe she thought I was paparazzi.

Inside, they were serving $2 PBRs.

The bar was crowded but we found a place to sit.

Audra was in a hurry to get to the game so we had to chug our beers.


We walked over to the stadium which, unfortunately, wasn't very photogenic. Here is the "Think Blue" sign, the equivalent of the Citgo sign in Boston.

The stadium.


Inside the stadium we found our seats after crawling over several tolerant people.

We had to take some funny pictures.

I always think it is funny when everyone at the ballpark wears team gear--like they are huge baseball fans (even when they aren't at all). So, when Raul and Audra showed up all decked out in Dodger blue, I had to make fun of them, dubbing them "Fake Fans." However, they claim they are "real fans." Raul is from Idaho and Audra from Arizona. You decide.

And the game was good. Derek Lowe (a former Red Sox) pitched a great game, and the Dodgers won.

And, of course, there was another former Red Sox in the house: MANNY!

All these references to the Red Sox, from someone not even from Boston?? Seems questionable. You decide...
