Around SBN: How Not To Criticize Tom Brady For The Patriots' Loss

Dodger Stadium Last Night

After frying up some fish, and trying to watch last night's awesome win, (mlb.com was HORRIBLE for me last night) my friend and I turned on the Dodger game to see if they could knock off the Brewers. We had talked about going to the game, but it seemed like a hassle, and it looked like we would watch from home. However, in the 1st inning, mt friend said, "we could be there by the second inning...", so off we went! I am so glad we did!

A good friend of mine is the field level security mgr for the stadium, and I have a standing invite to attend any game. we got there in the 4th, in time(almost) to see a Dodger hit a homer to left. Not sure who it was, all I could see was a fly ball passing through a slice of sky, and heard the roar of the crowd.

We got seats in behind the plate, and 2 rows back of 4 Brewer fans. They took quite a bit of abuse, while I, on the other hand, got a lotta love for my Cub gear. Prince Fielder was the butt of many jokes, particularly after diving for a bunt. the earth quake comments lasted for at least 2 batters! All in all, it was a BLAST!!! What a great day of baseball! Hope it doesn't happen again any time soon, I don't think I could survive!  GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Casey Blake homered for the Dodgers in the 4th last night.

That’s the HR you saw.

The ESPN guys had fun with Fielder's dive

They were grateful it was not on a fault line as it might have caused a 5.5

Wow, that sounds like fun.

Let’s hope the Dodgers can do it again tonight.
