Dodgers Lose, Dodgers Win. Check out this MLB All-Star FanFest Special!
I did not want to blog after the Dodgers lost that heartbreaker in the 9th to the Yankees. We all left the stadium so demoralized
Hey Torre: Did you fall asleep in the 9th?
But we won last night against the hated ones on my birthday!! YEAH!!
Young John Ely goes tonight against Cain. Let’s see what this game brings us. Truebluewill was reminding me of the Dodgers record against the NL West! 19-5! We swept the Padres earlier in the year so yeah let’s play the NL West!
MLB All-Star FanFest Special courtesy of Pepsi!
I went to the Vons and noticed this special last Sunday. Checkout the voucher!
If you spend $20 in qualifying Pepsi products, you can earn two free tickets to the MLB All-Star FanFest. The tickets cost $30 each so this is a pretty good deal. Thanks Pepsi!
I don’t care for Pepsi, but I bought products made by Pepsi like Gatorade and Aquafina water. If they don’t call me to volunteer for the Fan-Fest, then I already have a voucher for tickets.
Woohoo!! I just got the email that says “Congratulations!’ You have been accepted to the 2010 Major League Baseball All-Star FanFest Volunteer Team!
The Cactus League and AMY (Arizona Museum of Youth)
When we went to Mesa to watch the Cubs play against the Dodgers, the game got rainout.
so what did we do? We headed to the American Museum of Youth (AMY) a few blocks away (Although we did not know it at the time so we took the long way there. I think we took the freeway there 
).
The Cleveland Indians and the NY Giants were the first ones to set camp in Arizona. Cleveland Indians owner Bill Veeck convinced NY Giants owner Horace Stoneham to also bring his team to Arizona. Sounds kinda of Deja vu
Did you know that in 1951 the New York Giants and the New York Yankees exchanged Spring Training facilities?
The Red Sox also played in the Cactus League. The price of the program in 1964? 50 cents.
Women Softball teams in the 40′s. Why was this team called the Cantaloupes Queens? Because they were sponsored by a Cantaloupe growers. A young woman named Rose played with the Queens. Rose Mofford later became Arizona’s governor!
Wish I had that 1988 World Series yellow button when the Oakland A’s faced the Dodgers!

Dodgers Damaged Goods… Spring Training plans! Get Well Roberto.
Took this picture back in December when we went to Dodger Stadium to do a little Christmas shopping. We thought it was funny finding these two t-shirts in the box.
Spring Training plans this year:
My friend LTD23 and I settled on the dates we will be at Camelback Ranch! We will be there the first weekend in March and the last weekend of March. YIPPY!!! I can’t wait!
We will see our beloved Dodgers against the White Sox on 3/6 and 3/7 and Monday at Scottsdale against the hated Giants. On 3/27, we will see our bums against Seattle at Camelback Ranch and Sunday we will travel to see them against Cincinnati and Monday travel to see them against Cleveland. I hope, I hope I hope I will see Bob Feller!
Get well Roberto.

9/11, Southern Cal Fires updates, Andre Ethier, Giant vs. Dodgers!
On this day 9/11, I want to give a big thanks to all firemen in this great country! to the police department, to the ones that were and are in the military, and to the many people that do volunteer work. Thank you!!!
Is hard to believe that this happened 8 years ago.
This morning I heard that the fires here in Southern California were 70% contained. that is great news! Our firemen and all the ones that came down here have done an excellent job. I am glad I got to tell that to a few firemen the other night as I was coming out of Dodger Stadium (there was a small fire outside the stadium). Their response was “Thank you Ma’m” “Did the Dodgers win?” They did win that night!.
Driving on the Foothill freeway you can still see some smoke from the lingering fires. We are so due for rain here.
A friend sent me this link from Boston.com They have some incredible pictures here

I went to Virginia’s blog and saw her final list of the N.L. West Cuties! It reminded me of this photo of Andre. What do you think Ethierholics?
This picture was taken at the Carne Asada event last this year by my good friend LuvtheDodgers23. thanks LTD23!
Andre is leading the team in homeruns with 28, Doubles with 39 and is tied with James Loney with 60 walks.
Hiroki Kuroda is on the mound tonight in San Francisco! He faces Matt Cain.
Good luck Kuroda-san!!
Let’s Go Dodgers! Let’s Go!!
I got a question: Why do pitchers shag baseballs in the outfield? I am asking because last week Kershaw hurt his right shoulder during BP going after he hit the scoreboard. He had to skip his turn and is still up in the air for his next start. What is the point of them shagging baseballs in the outfield? Thanks
I am a happy Camper!
My Dodgers swept the Giants! Billingsley was lights out! Kershaw struck out 13 while giving up only 1 hit (a homerun). Stults got out of trouble and got the win! Life is good. Now the Rockies are in town and our blogger Tom should also be here. I am looking forward to meeting him. Tom: Email me!
tonight is 70′s celebration at OLOCR (Dodger Stadium) so I am dressing like the 70′s. I needed some earrings so I went to this beauty supply store close to work that carries some other stuff like earrings. I have been there before when I went to pickup a rental in the same shopping center for one of my trips to Camelback Ranch. the owners are a charming older couple that when they saw my Dodger bagpack they told me that they are big Giant fans. We started talking that day about our respective teams and old players. They even offered me a ticket to a weekday game at Scottsdale but I ould not go during the week.
Anyway today I returned to look for a pair of earrings! I found a blue pair of hoops with matching necklace and bracelet. The man kidding around told me he did not want to talk about his Giants! but we still talked about our team and no I did not get on his case for losing the series. He told me he was at the Home Opener. I wish I would have known! I gave him a Giant hat I had from a game I had gone to San Francisco last year. I was saving it to give it to a friend of mine that is a Giant fan but she moved away.
Tomorrow the game is at 12:40 p.m. pacific time. Tom: If you go to the game don’t forget the time change! . FOX Sport picked up the game. Also before the game is Photo Day so I will be there at 11:AM to go on the field and take pictures of my boys in Blue!! At night is the premiere of the movie “Bluetopia” which I have an invitation to watch the screening! busy, busy weekend! Sunday’s game is regular time (1:10 p.m.). Monday is a day off and then my boys in Blue head to Houston, Colorado and then San Francisco. KingofCali: Are you going to any of the games?
I’ll post pictures over the weekend! If I find Tom I’ll take pictures of him!
