Dodgers and the Playoffs!

Welcome To A Hot & Humid Chavez Ravine

I know I’ve been quiet lately, but I have to do a quick post here and cheer on my Dodgers! They are almost there and I’m really hoping they pick it up here and make it into the playoffs. I’m looking forward to it so much that I purchased tickets for both the Divisional Championship seriers and the League Championship Series! I got Field Box level seats for both games.

The good thing is that I wasn’t even sure what specific days these were but they work out perfectly with my schedule at work. I don’t have training on Oct. 2nd and on the 17th I should have already finished my training for that week, which means I shouldn’t have too much of an issue getting to the games, especially since Kelly should be able to leave work early so we can get to them.

Hardball Made Easy

I got to throw a shoutout to former LA Dodger GM Paul DePodesta for this link to the Hardball Made Easy with Ron Stilanovich that he had on his blog. This is one of the funnest things I’ve seen lately!

So i was going to post this yesterday, before the Dodgers fell to 2-1, but I wasn’t able to get to it.  Here is a picture of Russell Martin accepting his Silver Slugger and Gold Glove awards.  That doesn’t happy too often…

Pictures From Tonights Record Breaking Dodgers Game!

Here are some pictures from the baseball game held at the Coliseum tonight.

Dodgers 50 Year Anniversary

So we are going to the big game tomorrow night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. It should be a lot of fun, although I’m not quite sure how much I will enjoy the other 114,998 people that are there. But I can say I was there. I’m even going to wear my Los Angeles Dodgers 1958 shirt that my best friend Doug got me years ago. We were thinking about taking one of the metro lines in LA to the Coliseum, but unfortunately there aren’t any lines that are close enough to walk to and form and feel safe at 10 PM at night. LA parking it is! I’ll be posting pictures of the event on Sunday. I’m charging up my Canon Digital Rebel XT right now.

Let’s Go Dodgers!

I just wanted to let everyone know I’ve officially started my sports blogging career.  I’m planning to dedicate 4-5 days a week to posting on my Let’s Go Dodgers! blog.  If you are at all interested in following it you can either subscribe to get email from the site, you can signup as a user and subscribe (which would also allow you to post).  Also I have something called OpenID installed which means you can login with your Livejournal login and it will save your user on my site and log you in so you can post comments as well.  Or you can subscribe to the sites RSS feed.

I’d really like to get any and all constructive comments and criticism.   I’ve never claimed to be a writer, but I’d like to improve my writing skills in this area.  One of my first loves is baseball, and especially Dodgers baseball.  True I’ll never be a great blogger, but even if I only get a couple people to read my news and thoughts, I’ll be happy.  If you have any questions about the site you can post them here, on the site or email me at daniel@letsgododgers.com.

New TV

We bought a new 27in LCD HDTV for our bedroom today.  Olevia 227v is an awesome TV for the price $449.99.  Very impressed by the picture of the TV.  Now I just need to get another one of those cheap HDMI cables online so I can connect my Xbox 360 from time to time in the bedroom.

Other news, 49ers are 2-0!  Another close game, but I’ll take the win any day.  Unfortunately the Charges couldn’t get anything going and lost the late game last night.  And the Dodgers couldn’t get the sweep on the D-backs.  We need to get a winning streak, especially with only 4 series left, COL, ARI, COL, and finishing with San Fran.

What happen to Barry Bonds?  Ever since he broke the record I haven’t heard a single thing about him.  Is he still playing baseball?  I don’t even know what the home run record is.  It’s amazing how he’s dropped off everyone’s radar.  How about Frank Thomas and 3 dingers tonight!  And last but not least one of my favorite players of all time hit his 500th homerun, Jim Thome hit his 500th against the Angles yesterday!  Just an awesome feat.
