Cochitos everywhere at Cincinnati Congratulations to the Reds!
I have not been able to post here in Cincinnati. The connection at the hotel and at the ballpark has been horrible.
We saw lots of cochitos here
Too bad we did not get to say hi to Cochito Cruz, maybe when we get back to Dodger Stadium. I have yet to meet him.
We wont be at Sunday’s game because of the ESPN time change 😦 There was an Octoberfest festival across from the hotel.
Weather here was very cold.
We won one game and we lost one. We saw The Reds clinch here with their win. Next year it will be our turn!
Congratulations to Dusty Baker and the Reds! Good luck in the postseason.
Get Well Dusty!
Good luck Jonathan Broxton in the playoff
HAPPY BITHDAY MATT KEMP!!

After the Fireworks game, is off to the airport to start a four game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
WOW! a tough test ahead for Mattingly and the Dodgers. If they can turn it aorund and do well they can do this:
By then, Matt Kemp should be ready to come back and we can see him doing this:

Two out of Three from the Rockies. Here come the Reds!
Dodgers took two out of three from the Rockies losing the one where Octavio Dotel was so wild in the 10th inning that he had three wild pitches. Pirate fans: Has Dotel always been this wild?
Ted Lilly on the hand pitched a complete two hit shutout game on Thursday giving the bullpen much needed rest and us fans a relief.
I took this picture at the end of the game.
Tonight is 90’s night with an Andre Ethier poster night giveaway. Tonight is also “Take the jersey off their back” night and player baskets will also be auctioned!
Homer Bailey is on the mound against Monasterios. Don’t you just love the name Homer Bailey? Originally Padilla was supposed to be on the mound but he is going on the injured list. I was looking forward to seeing the “Soap Bubble” pitch or like Padilla calls it “Curvita Suave.” Que te mejores Vicente!
Here are some pictures from Dodger Stadium taken by me or brother Vic.
It was Matt Kemp’s bobblehead on Tuesday. OK, so I went a little beyond centerfield when I tried to position Kemp’s bbh. . Just think like he is jumping the fence to catch the ball.
I took a picture of Loney’s bbh too. Now, I did positioned him right on first base!
The Deuce is Loose dancing before the 9th inning!

The birthday girl on Wednesday. Too bad the Dodgers did not give her a win but she’ll take two out of three.

Here is season ticket holder Gilbert surounded by four FIVE of his little neighbors that he brought to the game on Wednesday. Every once in a while he brings them. They are very nice kids!
Thinking Blue for Upcoming Dodger Homestand August 17-22.
Billingsley will close off the four game series with Atlanta. How odd that the fourth game is on a Monday and that the game will be played at the regular time of 7:10 ET time. By the time the Dodgers get back it will early Tuesday morning.
Tuesday
Tuesday it will be Matt Kemp’s bobblehead night. with the Colorado Rockies in town.

Taking public transportation thru downtown LA, I have noticed the increase in homeless people. I am glad that Andre, the Dodgers and Farmer John are part of this.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and Los Angeles native Warren Moon will throw out a ceremonial first pitch.

I’ve bid on a couple of baskets in the past. Is always very interesting what is included in the baskets. One of the most elaborate baskets was Grady Little that included a ride on his motorcycle. Broxton has included a nice handmade wooden box. Inside the baskets you can find candy, a glove, batting gloves, shirts, movies, certificates, popcorn, spikes, a bat, etc.

The first “Bark in the Park at Dodger Stadium” will take place on Saturday presented by Dick Van Patten’s Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc. Fans that purchase an AYCE (All You Can Eat) ticket in the right field pavillion for $25 per human can bring their dog. I’ve never been to one of these events at other parks but why are the Dogers charging $25 per dog?
Sunday
Sunday is the usual Viva Los Dodgers Sunday.
God willing, I’ll try to make it to all the games. Go Blue!

Thinking Blue while Dodgers play Red Teams.
That was painful getting swept by the Angels. But at least Sunday, I can see some players getting out of their slump like Manny, Raffy and Loney. Now when Kemp, Ethier and the beared one join in, watch out!
This picture was taken by Dodger photographer Jon SooHoo. Thanks Jon for a wonderful shot!
Weaver had to come and bat against Jerred. Jerred in turn came to face Jeff. Originally they were not supposed to face each other but with Monasterios failing to make it passed the 3rd, inning, in came in Jeff Weaver.
Now the Dodgers are on the road to face the Cincinnatti Reds for three and then is off to Boston! Don’t look ahead to the Red Sox boys so play well in Cinci. I’ll see you all in Boston! Go Dodgers!
Honduras faces Chile tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM. Buena suerte Hondurenos!
Three more days till my friends and I head to Boston! I talked to Manny Sunday and told him that I hope he plays well in Boston. He said “Si Dios quiere” “Se lo dejo todo a Dios” “God Willing” “I leave everything to God”
