La Gran Fiesta: Viva Los Dodgers

The Gran fiesta at Dodger Stadium was so crowded and a little disorganized.   Maybe the Dodgers were not expecting that many people.  They need to expand the area to accommodate the larger crowds.  The lines to get in were extremely long.  They checked your bags and checked that you had a ticket to the game.   After you got in you had to get in line for the autographs.  The lines for Cochito Cruz and Adrian Gonzales were unbelievable long.  They spilled way outside.  The problem was fans that were parking were just getting in line there.  The security guards were not noticing that.   Also I don’t understand how when we were in line outside before 1:30 at the gates by the Pasadena Freeway entrance, by the time we got out of the car the line to get in into La Gran Fiesta, the line circled around!     There were also some regular fans while we were closer to get in that their bags got checked and they let them get in right away.

There should have been a special line for Season Ticket holders.  For us that support the team all year around.      My friends and I (all of us season ticket holders) never made it to get Cochito Cruz or Adrian Gonzales.   By the time we got to the table, there was someone else there.  Fans were asking me who he was.  It was joe Moeller.     Later on someone asked me who were at the other tables.   I know fans should know but you had some fairly new fans, fans that is their first time doing that.   Maybe the Dodgers should have had large name tags made on the computer explaining who were sitting at the tables.

I did see Pepe Yniguez.   Jessica Rosales took this picture where Kenny Landreaux and Pepe were signing.  Thanks Jessica!  I also got Manny Mota and I showed him his picture when he was with the Houston Colts 45′s organization.  Picture posted in prior blog post.

Dodgers win consecutive game with another shutout.

Dodgers won against the Rockies on Friday 8-0 with a great performance by Clayton Kershaw.   Blanton pitched a shutout on Saturday with the score of 3-0.   Can the Dodgers pitch another shutout?   TrublueLa, Eric Stephen said that the last time the Dodgers had a shutout sweep of 3+ games was 1966, a 4-game series against the Astros.  Bob Timmermann followed my question of “was this at home or on the road” with  “It was at home.  Osteen and Koufax had shutouts and the other two were combined efforts”   Awesome!  I love these two with all their knowledge!

I settle for a win today no matter the score.   Is amazing how many players hurt the Rockies have.     I have not looked at the records but Dodgers don’t do well on day games so like I said I just want the W.  Go Dodgers!

Fan Appreciation Day

Is Fan Appreciation Day.   Among the prizes are a one year lease on a car.  It used to be that they gave you the car.   Also there are the two season tickets.   The only thing I have won thru all the years I have attended Fan Appreciation Day was a voucher for Panda Express.

I am just waiting for Monday.

I will explain that in my next post, but I am really excited and a little nervous  about this so yes, I am just waiting for Monday!  In the meantime I need to head to the stadium!  Running late so no pictures until my next post.
