Thread: The June Dodger Thread

I had to fetch security last night to keep a Cubs fan and his girlfriend that were doing nothing more than enjoying a baseball game from being harassed (death threats included) by a pack of idiots. And guess who else got death-threats? Me. Yeah. That's right. Because I went to get security.

When I went to Wrigley a couple years back, we were treated like GOLD by every Cubs fan we interacted with. Everyone was happy to have us in their home. I felt so bad for the Cubs fans who had their visit to Dodger Stadium ruined. That's not the way anyone should be treated. Period. Baseball fans are baseball fans. Razz all you want. Boo all you want. But NO ONE should be threatening anyone or laying a hand on anyone else because they're fans of another team. That's just ****ing beyond idiotic.

It's the second time in three games that I've been in the middle of problems like that, and the umpteenth time in I-don't-know-how-many-games I've seen that kind of bull**** in my section. I'm sick of it. I'm disappointed that I can't feel safe taking my four year old kid and 71 year old mom to something that's supposed to be a family-friendly experience.

I doubt highly we're renewing next season.

Move closer to the field. I know it sounds bad but you start to weed out the idiots that way.

Vin did mention last night that the crowd felt like a Friday night crow i.e. a bunch of idiots, its a shame the Dodger experience is being ruined, I would cringe if Dodger fans would be considered on par with Raider and Laker fans, unfortunately its heading towards that scenario.

Completely agree with FBJ. Now I pretty much only go when my hookup has freebie seats down low. Otherwise it just isn't worth it.

Even the Giants fans at the telephone booth were mostly friendly. I'm eager to see what the new DC park is like as a road fan in August.

Yep. Unfortunately, the same economic factors that keep the idiots out of those seats keeps me out of those seats. They're just too damned expensive these days.

Start cringing...It's already happened.

I'm in the middle of writing Frank McCourt. I imagine it will be read by one of his lackeys, but if I don't get some sort of positive response from my correspondence, I'll be writing an op-ed piece and submitting it to every newspaper and website I can think of.

In my view, there's several things that absolutely have to happen in order to bring back the family-friendly atmosphere. Every one of them would bring about big improvements. Unfortunately, the McCourts are part of the big "PC" crowd, and would probably institute none of them.

What other Dodger-related topics can we complain about? It's been a while since we've talked about parking.

Sad times.

And yet I'd take THIS over that little blip I call 97-03. AKA "The Black Hole"
