dodger-mania...or last night's dodger game

so apparently the Dodger's all you can eat pavilion is not all the frills and thrills they lead you to expect when you combine baseball, the human wave, and all you can eat dodgers dogs/nachos/peanuts/soda. But what the heck, "take one for the team man" was our attitude, so Linda and I decided to check it out yesterday and get our 50th anniversary dodger blankets in the process.

Well, i should have thought that "all you can eat" would entice all the gluttons, and sure enough it did. These are the portly guys and gals who take up almost 2 bench seats by themselves. Also, this being a special promo night, everyone came out to pick up their "free" blanket. I emphasis "free" because the blankets aren't free, after spending $85 bucks on tickets, $15 on parking, and $20 on beer (beer ain't all you can drink...dammit) we already spent $120 bucks by the time the first pitch was underway. Anyhoo, after 3 innings, we were already missing our season loge level seats. The crowd was so ghetto, they were throwing chewed hot dogs around, people were fighting over seats...just ridiculous, pure mayhem. Don't even get me started on all the little kids running amok, jesus h. christ parents, CONTROL YOUR KIDS!!!.

So 3 innings is all we could take, we packed it in, headed out and watched the end of the game at a local brewery. Moral of the story today kids is STAY AWAY from the all you can eat pavilion. Probably stay away from the stadium as a whole, their new parking system still sucks balls and is too much effort for what's its worth sometimes. But oh well, time to write a letter to Joe Torre.
