In the past few weeks, I have see several people wearing Dodgers shirts, hats, and even a jacket. It has been really weird. I don't know if they are true blue fans, or just think it is cool. At any rate, the season is drawing to a close, and the Dodgers are 2 games out of the wildcard race. Let's hope they can continue their 5-game winning streak.

I was reading Eric Neel's reviews of the big league ballparks and he gave Dodger Stadium a pretty good review. I agree with just about everything he says. Here's some of my favorite quotes:

"Signature concession item: It's the Dodger Dogs. Rumor has it they're soaked in beer, before being boiled, and then grilled. That's a lot of love for $3.50."

"Bathrooms: The park shows its age a little here. Some tile erosion, some dim lighting. Clean, but not plush. (And just so we're clear: Troughs never impress.)"

"Knowledge of local fans: The standard line is that the Dodger faithful are late-arriving, early-leaving, apathetic and uninformed fans. The standard line is tired and untrue. They're not apathetic and uninformed. (And they've got Vin on the radio.)"

I don't think I have ever left a game early, although I did arrive a few times late.
