Pictures from my first game of 2008

Yes, Russ ... it's quite nippy for March, isn't it? But I'll keep you warm ;-)

First glimpse of Andre! I think he's signing some baseballs for someone
Go long! Go long!
Glimpse of Russell in the bullpen...


This is in the left field pavilion, on the way to the bathrooms


So close ... yet so far away


Wonder what's on that TV


They circled Furcal and they were like hopping around. It was funny and cute ... wish I had gotten a picture or video of the thing


Loney and Kent during the National Anthem


The Dodgers' dug out


The rest of the Dodgers. How many cane you name?


Russell's first at-bat


Juan Pierre threw a ball into the stands and it landed on the lap of guy on the right

Russell avoids getting hit by a pitch


Furcal is wondering how in the world did he get caught stealing second to end the inning while Andre Ethier is in the batter's box

Hooray! Happy days are here! Pierre is gone and now Andre is in left field!

It's probably colder now than it was before


Run Andre run!

Andre slides into second, he's safe but Hu's out at first


He needs a moment


Recovering from the slide


I'm sure the guys around him need a moment too


Yay! Andre scores the second run of the game (off a double by Jeff Kent)!

Yes, Andre dear ... that's what happens when you slide. Your uniform gets dirty


Okay, I know I know ... lots of pictures of their behinds. That's what happens when you're sitting in the pavilions and all you see is their back


I apologize for the grainy quality of the pictures. But that's what happens when you have to zoom in tons and don't have any telephoto lens. Sigh. One day.

Maybe now I won't feel so bad

I figure I'll get one or two mean/rude customers a week. Yesterday I got two in one day. Fortunately, I only had one today and it wasn't till the end of my shift. Well, I got home and I saw I had an e-mail from Groupon advertising their special for Dodger tickets for the two day games on Wednesdays during the next homestand. I thought about it. Last time I checked it out, it came up to 13.90 just for my ticket. I coughed up the $14 for the Saturday game anyway at the Stadium. If I go to the stadium to my tickets, I can get top deck seats for $12 instead of paying $14 for the reserve ticket. The Groupon says it's $7 but there's about an additional $7 in fees you still have to pay. Plus, if I go when the team is on the road, I get to see my favorite ticket seller. While on Groupon, I noticed an advertisement for a competitor's deal. I checked out the competitor and looked at their FAQ, prices, and "reviews". Then I went on Yelp and really looked at their ...

Talk about a Manic Monday

Long long day today. Where do I begin? First off, I had to report for Jury Duty today. As I wrote earlier. They let us go for lunch around 12. I went down to the Los Angeles Mall because there was a Carl's Jr in their food court. Line was too long by the time I got there. I even skipped taking the elevator down to the ground floor by taking the stairs instead. No wonder my calves were hurting! They still do a little. Add the new shoes that aren't the best for walking shoes plus lugging my laptop bag around... I ended up getting spaghetti that came with salad and a slice of wheat bread. Too bad I didn't walk around the food court more. I would've found the Sbarro and gotten that instead of the random little cafe type place I ended up at. I should found Ruth and asked her where she was going to lunch. Turns out, one of the ladies from church was in the same jury pool I was. She caught me during the break but when they dismissed us for lunch, she left before I could find h...

Argh! She's back *WARNING * WARNING * LONG POST / RANT * WARNING * WARNING

SOOO.... the lead sales associate (Mariam) has been gone since before Thanksgiving on a leave of absence. Hooray! Let's all throw a party! Well, she wasn't supposed to be back until almost the end of this month. Unfortunately, she came back early and came back to work on Sunday. Boo! On her second day of work, tensions are high and so are emotions! My boss (the store manager) came in and asked how were things going. I told her, that was yet to be seen. Later when I talked to her on my way out, she said she could sense that things were tense. First, let's start with the whole "I'm not capable of being in petite" attitude Lesa has towards me. Every time. I was already in petite and Sarah was in front. So Mariam was supposed to be in front right? Not according to her. She sends me up front with two bags of shipment (which by the way, I only finished like half of one) while she rings people up. When I went on my break, I told her that I had TWO customers in the fi...
