Balls


, originally uploaded by Malingering.

Went to my first (any probably last) Dodger game of the season and it turned out to be a big to-do. Apart from the traditional rivalry, the game last night against the Giants also offered an opportunity for Barry Bonds to tie and even break Hank Aaron's home run record. Unfortunately, Bonds went 0 for 4. Fortunately the Dodgers won, scoring four runs in the eighth inning including a home run from Nomar.

Tonight Bonds will once again try for the record. If last night was any indication, there will be plenty of media at the game and even more rowdy fans. It was a fun game. What wasn't fun was the 1.5 hours it took for us to go from Sunset and Vermont to Dodger Stadium, a mere three or four miles away, and the one hour it took the get out of the stadium.
