Actually there were 3 or 4 others

I was sitting near an annoying kid who kept hitting a water bottle on the seat....

….wanted to choke the kid.

low turnout

Both of our Sports South mouths said it was the lowest number they had seen!!!! I guess if not for the Atlanta Braves fans the attendance it would have been even smaller….my friend “Jay” went to the game…wonder where he was?

Playing @ home. Everyone was probably @ or watching the game at home

Also, when Chip and Joe were talking about it, it was in the early innings. The crowd there is famous for arriving late. I even saw on the Dodgers’ page were they were talking about the awful traffic due to the NBA game, not that they don’t frequently have awful traffic in L.A. Anyway, it seemed to fill in later, at least behind home plate, and I was please at the apparrently large contingent of Braves fans.

We got the park just at the time i took this picture, so we barely made it on time.

traffic is terrible

Nice seats

Nice ballpark, too. I’ll have to visit it some time – too bad it’s all the way across the country.

Awesome place to see a game.

I saw Lowe pitching for the Dodgers against the Cubs a couple years back, just a great time.

Great shot. Don Sutton made it sound like a paradise last night on the radio.

I’m sure he has fond memories from his pitching history there. Did you not watch the game on TV, or do you prefer Don and Jim’s call of the game. I used to work evenings for a very long time and had to listen to many games on the radio.

It’s a cool stadium. The only drawback seems to be a rampant infestation of Dodger fans.

I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.

you know what stadium looks nice on TV but sucks in real life? Angels Stadium. They don’t even have an HD screen at the park. How the hell did they get an ASG?
