And not one BlackBerry post while at the game. ToddFail.

Who did you get a foul ball from? What section?

it was too cold to type and what energy i did have as spent taking pics and uploading 2 of them to facebook.

i was in 109, right field. manny hit the ball, it went over me, i look down, and the ball is lying there. i pick it up and start screaming and buddies go nuts. my first foul ball ever. i felt like a 2 year old.

"heres the throw to the plate, not in time!"

the ball didnt even make it out of the outfield. what a farging buffoon. he sucks so much.

Good stuff. AT least you didn't roll out in the top of the 8th like some guy on PhilaPhans did.

the people i got the tix from left early, but they had a legit reason. i didnt see too many people leave. the bottom sections were still pretty full. some at the top were emptier, but it was hard to tell because so many people never sit there to begin with so they can stand closer or in ashburn.

i left the todd pratt walkoff against boston game early. since then, no sir. and it was a 1 run game. game 4 of the nlcs. like really. who leaves early.

I listened to Franzke's call from the start of Rollins' at-bat to about 15 minutes afterward.    Gotta love MLB.TV with the replays and shtein.

How a few Dodgers fans feel about CBP:

2- As the Dodgers were taking the field in the bottom of the 7th, the jumbotron in left field played the steroid commercial with the crumbling statue. Of course Manny had to walk straight in that direction while the stadium filled with 'steroids' chants. Truly classless.

It was just shocking to see that stadium when contrasted with Dodger stadium (at least from the organizational standpoint) which tries to create a less farged up atmosphere.

Last comment- Philly is such a piece of shtein organization that they don't even have a "Let's Go Phillies" chant, it was always "Beat LA". That phrasing makes you think that the philly org (and really ANY org that ONLY chants Beat LA) has a severe inferiority complex. The Dodgers are clearly the historically superior team and so for philly fans, the 'big feat' would be to beat la, not just win. It's true and it ties back into what everyone else was saying. The fans just seemed too nice when it came to personal interaction. I felt a sense of self-entitlement and no one took that away from me, not even when they were up 11-0 and throwing a 3-hitter. I couldn't tell if I was at a Nationals game or if I was in the Stepford Wives.

That's all for now.

PS- About half my section left at the end of the 7th inning. School night? Blow out game? farg you philly fans, it's game 3 of the NLCS. Phillies fans will forever have the stigma of leaving early as far as I'm concerned.

farg YOU Hoyda!  Oh and "Phillies Suck" is so original.  Go suck on a mimosa you queer.

Big mahalo to my boy Seabiscuit for keeping me updated on my blackberry from the 4th to top of the 8th inning.  Had our first day of basketball practice and I blew off last year's first practice as it was on the same day of Game 5 WS part I.  The girls know I love the Phillies so they kept asking me "Coach, are we winning?"  I love it.  Wednesday should be equally as stressful.

friggin awesome.

Oh and that dude from LA is just ja hell ous.

Franzke's call...


Ha.  Bandwidth will undoubtedly be crushed by tomorrow but farg it.  It's stolen anyway.

Larry Andersen is hilarious.

Did Caray say something along the lines of "The Dodgers only need 5 more outs (when there were 8 outs left for them) because Broxton has the 9th inning and is automatic"?

I thought I heard something like that last night, but I want to make sure.

It was the third guy in the booth, can't remember what his name was, but he 100% said something along those lines. Fargin Hilarious and sad at the same time.

It was Buck Martinez.  He does the show on XM in the morning and a caller from Philly called him on it this morning.

You'd think Scott Graham (his partner) would have slapped him but they're too busy making googly eyes at each other for that to ever happen.
