Don't stop believing

Okay so I think all Dodger fans know of the nerdy guy that sings Journey's song in the eighth inning of the games. He started singing last season and every game he is at they seem to get the camera on him while he performs and gets the fans laughing and entertained. He usually can be found in the lodge section for the most part.
That being said, I was at the game on Friday and seen him during an inning in the lodge, as the eighth inning approached to my surprise he was located in the bleacher seats in the reserved level. I was very curious as to why they moved him there, are they getting bored of him being at the same spot all the time and want to freshen up the performance like a concert show, or was it that so many fans know where he is at and get in front of the camera to get their few seconds on the jumbo tron?
Don't get me wrong he is entertaining for a good laugh, but really, and I think I said this last season, it does get boring and to watch one guy sing. I think a few other fans like to be shown on the jumbo tron and the Dodgers should do more then just move the guy from one section to other to sing a classic song played at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers minor injuries and pitching

Unfortunately for the Dodgers their winning streak of nine games came to an end yesterday and for the most part it had to do with the struggling pitching they have. Last nights game the Dodgers brought to the mound Ramon Ortiz, who is ERA is 6.12, he has giving up 27 hits and 17 earned runs. Really Dodgers is this the best you can do for a fifth starter?
Are you really telling your fans that you can't afford a good starting rotation? granted Clayton Kershaw is coming around, John Ely hopefully is a God-send and that the others start improving, but if they don't where do we see the Dodgers coming into October?
Yes they have already made a push to keep a steady pace with San Diego and San Fransisco in the standing, but right now we have the pinkie injury of Andre Ethier and now this toe issue with Manny Ramirez, will the offense survive with them two out?

Hopefully this is something we can later laugh about, but come on Ned try and find some good pitching to go with the offense!

The best missed dunk every!

The NBA playoffs are under way and for some the games have been boring with not much challenge with the teams we thought would bring it. In light of that though basketball is an exciting fast pace game. Every move a player makes can be a highlight reel. Like this one by Shannon Brown, which made some people wow on what could have been.
I am a bring Laker fan but unfortunately due to work I was not able to watch the game last night and had to see this in the morning.
Brown all season long as entrained us with his solid defense and well amazing dunks too. He also was voted in to the all-star dunk contest.
Last night almost greatest dunk was missed midway through the fourth quarter by Brown. I like many other are amazed as how high and long that flight was to the basket. He was so close to making this the talk for years to come, well maybe it still will as they are saying to was the GREATEST MISSED DUNK EVERY!!!

Got to Love Kobe Bryant's expression

I'm back! done with school

Hello again blogging world, it has been too long since I posted. I am now back, at least for awhile since I am out of school. Plus I need to continue my writing even though this won't be edited to perfection!
As for me I have just finished my first full year at Cal State Northridge. To say my second semester was great, well it would be a lie. Don't get me wrong it wasn't a totally disaster, and the good parts weigh out the bad, but there was something that didn't sit well with me.
Bad part- My college life I have met some great, smart, mature people and I have grown around them. This semester unfortunately I felt at times I was back in high school. It was the most uncomfortable/annoying thing I've had to face in such a long time and it almost ruined my college experience. To think that people can still act immature, be jealous, and plainly rude is sad. This was the worst part, to feel that I didn't belong in a place that was suppose to be like family and enjoyable. The workload wasn't great either, I'm disappointed in myself for not doing better in my classes, but hopefully this was a learning experience that I can get over and work on.
The good part- This was my first semester on the Daily Sundial (the newspaper on campus) It was a lot of work and times I did complain to my editor, but his patients with me and help made me a better writer. I covered a beat that I never thought I do, which was water polo and it was great and I enjoyed the experience. I met a few great people during my time on the paper and I'm happy to say I will be working with some them again next semester. My advisor as well as editor asked me back to be assistant sports editor. I don't know how well I will do and I know it is going to be a lot of work, but with the friends I made, I know we will help each other out. My friend/editor has been very helpful and encouraging even though he takes no credit in helping me be better, but he has.
I also have been interning at Fox Sports Net/Prime Ticket as a production intern and it has been great. I have learned how games and sports segments get on television. It is amazing how quickly all these people work and get exciting footage of games on TV.
I am back and now it is time for the Lakers run for another championship and the Dodgers to try and get farther into the post season.

Half way done!

I am on Spring Break right now and trying to get a real break. Believe me I need it. Last week was horrible, but I am now set on new sites and getting ready for crunch time at school, I only have 5more weeks ahhhhhh. After that though my time is on my Dodgers, Lakers and Kings, who just clinched a playoff spot since 2002. of course my friends that I miss so much, but understand why I go in hiding when I am in school. Guys I LOVE YOU!!!!

I will hopefully have more time to blog as soon as school is over since I have been doing so much writing at school.

Eric Gagne back!!

I wake up today waiting to leave for school when I check the news (sports) and see that the Dodgers were in talk to sing Eric Gagne, one of their best closer in history. Now to say I'm not happy would be a lie because I can't stand Broxton, since down the stretch he sucks!!!! The only thing is Gagne is 34, and was released that he was on steroids. We already have Manny Ramirez, who was suspended for it, now we have two former druggies!!! hmmm I don't know about that one. Time will tell if Gange will fill our void of having a closer that can get the save. He gets a one-year deal $500,000 and had a chance to add other $500,000 with how he performs during the season.

Lets hope GAME OVER can last!!!!

Dodgers at Boys and Girls Club

Sorry I am late on this post, but been busy with school.
Anyway I was going to head over to ESPN Zone Tuesday, since I am only 4 blocks away, but I decided at last minute it really wasn't worth it..no no don't get me wrong seeing the Dodgers isn't a bad thing but I thought about it long and hard I seen all the players that were attending, have pictures with them, and most importantly have a few autographs by them, not just one. So why dig through everything I have and try to find something else for them to autograph?
That is what i decided plus homework!!!
well I also decided to head over to the boys and girls club that was by my house and have a few people I know there.
I headed over about an hour early before the players were suppose to arrive.
The Dodgers dream Foundation recently made the Boys and Girls Club on Pasadena Ave their 9th field out of 50 they plan on building around the community of L.A.
It is a very nice field, my parents and I waited, talked to some people, I pointed out Dodger personnel to my mom, then we heard the Dodgers were coming.

Tommy, Rudy Law, Kenny, Tommy Davis, and Andre passed me. I was gidding like a little girl myself awwww the Boys in Blue!!!!
Who wouldn't be greatful to meet the famous Tommy Lasorda!!!

Even Joe made an apperance

It turned out to be a great day!
