2011 Dodger Caravan and Spring Training plans
Spring is in the air! Check out the flowers outside where I work. They are called Magnolia Alexandria.
The Dodgers Caravan will be February 14th to the 15th! This year is full of community work where the fans get to join in!.
My friend Lorena, Erik and I are thrilled that we were able to signed up for both days. February 14th it will be Cleanup our LA river and February 15th, cleanup the Bay (Santa Monica). I can’t wait!
The Dodger current and past players along with Dodger announcers will also visit hospitals and schools as part of giving back to the community. I think getting the fans involved is a great idea. Details here
Dodgers will also be at the Lopez Tonight show in Burbank on Valentines Day but I could not get tickets to that. Can anyone get us at the Warner Bros studios on that day? I used to know someone that used to get me VIP tickets but that person moved out of state.
My friend Lorena and started talking Spring Training games when we met at the Laker game last night. Yeah, Lakers lost to the Spurs but we had a good time.
We along with friend Margie decided on the first two games at Camelback Ranch. The first game is Sunday February 27th against the Angels and Monday against the White Sox. We might get there on Saturday or early Sunday. I can’t wait!

It’s The Worst Frickin Loss Of The Year
August 12, 2010 has to be the worst Dodger loss of the year.
Here is my feable attempt at butchering the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” much like Kershaw’s game got butchered last night.
It’s the worst frickin loss of the year
With the bullpen eight run giving
And everyone telling you to leave Kuo in
It’s the worst frickin loss of the year
It’s the sick-sickest season of all
With those trip to the mound and crappiest meetings
When Torre signals a call
Is the sick-sickest season of all
There will be wakes for hosting
Coaches for roasting
And b-itching out in the blogs
There will be scary Dodger stories
And tales of the meltdown
To tell for a long, long time ago.
Is the worst frickin loss of the year
There is so much cursing
And heartburns from the blowing
Of the win that was so, so near
Is the worst frickin loss of the year
There was Bellisario sucking
Blake with an error
And Broxton blowing another good save
There will be scary Dodger stories
And tales of the meltdown
To tell for a long, long time ago
Is the worst frickin loss of the year
There is so much cursing
And hearburns from the blowing
Of the win that was so so near
Is the worst frickin loss
Is the worst frickin loss
Is the worst frickin loss
Is the worst frickin loss of the year
A Split & 90090
We split the 4 game series with the Phillies! I watched 3 of the 4 from my beloved Dodger Stadium. I had to miss Sunday’s game as I had an early flight to N.H. where I am working this week. I will miss the two game series this week with the Padres. Dodgers have two days off this week (Monday & Thursday).
Andre Ethier had two Walk-offs! Friday night it was in the 9th inning and Saturday afternoon in the 12th innings! It was so incredible watching the walk-offs at the stadium and walking down the row hi-fiving everyone!
Earlier before the Saturday game, Dodger Stadium officially got their own zip code! 90090! After watching the official presentation on the field, I headed upstairs to my seat when I noticed that representatives of the post office were selling player’s stamps with the official zeal. I bought one from each player they had (9) and I also bought a cool envelope and a set of 50 anniversary Dodger postcards that I had them add the zeal. In addition, I had my ticket stamped. Check it out! I love, love this stamp collection!
I landed at Logan airport only to discover that my luggage did not make it. My co-worker’s luggage arrived but not mine. American airline (evil) said they’ll deliver it to the hotel which is about one hour away from Logan. They also said they stopped delivering at 11:p.m. so I bought me the essentials to get me bybut I am not happy 
. I sure hope my luggage is at the hotel by the time I get back from work Monday evening.
I Do Not Condone Steroid Use
Today walking around Dodger Stadium I noticed some fans wtih t-shirts saying “Free Manny” or “I Support Manny” Someone asked where they got the t-shirts and they said someone outside the stadium was selling them for $5. I was left wondering if those people bought the t-shirts because it was $5 or because they think is OK to cheat with steioids. I don’t condone steroid use, to condone it would be to say ”is OK to cheat.” Is it OK for kids to cheat on their exam? No! Is unfair for those that have worked hard to take those exams.
It is unfair for those players that have stayed clean and continue to stay clean even with all the steroids being used around them. It reminded me of what Jeff Kent said during his retirement speech when asked what he thought about this whole steroid issue. He said “The integrity of the game has been jeopardized for so many years, and I’m embarrassed about the steroid era.” He also said “I saw it around me what could I do but work harder to compete.”
If you have read my post you know that I met Manny and found him to be so nice. But just because he was nice to my friends and I does not mean he gets a pass with me. It also bothers me that he has not addressed his teammates. If he needs more time for that, Ok take it but do address your teammates.
I gave Barry Bonds and all involved with steroids a hard time and Manny is not getting a free pass with me just because he is a Dodger. I also hate that only after players get caught using steroids is when they apologize and they say how sorry they are. Are they truly sorry or sorry that they got caught? I am disgusted with all the players that have cheated this great game but especially with those that already had great abilities.
Is a sad day in baseball but like Vin Scully said today in his broacast “no one man stops baseball.”
Happy Jackie Robinson Day Everyone!
I hope everyone is having a beautiful Jackie Robinson Day! I am off in a few minutes to my beloved OLOCR (Our Lady of Chavez Ravine). I got my Jackie Robinson jersey in the car!
I am still high from the great Opening Day! After Vin Scully threw out the ceremonial first pitch, I could not stop the tears when I heard Vin say “Two things, #1 In all the years I needed you more than you needed me”. ”#2. Is time now for Dodger Baseball”. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Joe Torre. Joe came over afterwards and touched his face. Vin’s wife was wearing a beautiful baby blue dress.
The players were announced in numerical order with Tommy Lasorda being first with his #2 retired number. No, he did not have his uniform on. He only wears it during Spring Training. the players came out from the field level and the outfielders and pitchers from the left field pavilion. The last number coming out was #99 Manny.
We all heard O-Dog hit for the cycle, Andre hit two homeruns but Chad Billingsley cannot be overlooked in his great performance where he did not walk a batte rand he struck out 13. 11. Thanks LuvDodgers23 for the correction!
Wishing you all a great Jackie Robinson Day!

Blue Skies Nothing but Dodger Blue Skies…
Blue Skies Nothing but Dodger Blue skies smiling at me 
…Yes! Manny is back! .Here is Old Blue eyes who was a big Dodger fan singing Blue Skies.
I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Evry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but theyre not gray anymore
Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
Bluebirds
Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds
All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When youre in love, my how they fly
Blue days
All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies
From now on
[2]
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it cant be true
I should smile, thats exactly what I do
