He must've been, because with tonight's win, regardless of what happens in Sunday afternoon's game, the Dodgers own the series. WooHOO!

It is a biggy. The seats we were in were $75 each on a season ticket. 4 of us and it included our parking. Craig and I did the math. $315 at season pass prices. A personal size small pizza...4 with tip was $40. 2 basic glasses of bud, a big water and 2 sodas for the boys $31.25. All told it cost me under the price of one seat for the munchies and drinks. It certainly would have been a lot worse if I had to pay the full price. It certainly does make it pricey for the average family to attend a game and AM so glad I was able to do it on free tickets.

(By the way, I get that same feeling when the anthem plays.) (rant) In past years, I used to attend 20-25 games per season. This year I've been to one, and that was the day before Opening Day. During every home stand, I think long and hard about going to the game. After all, the stadium is only 10 minutes down the freeway. So far this season, I've always talked myself out of going to the game, and just watched on television. Partly because I get Vin calling the whole game that way, and partly because of the money. Sometime toward the beginning of the season I did the math in my head: $30-$40 for a good seat ($15-$20 on the third deck up,) $15 to (f'ing!) park, nearly $20 for a dog and a couple of beers. $75 a game, and that's only if I go alone! What about families/guys who take their kids? Now I know it can be done cheaper than that, but it's all relative. I'd be just as pissed if I sat on the top deck and brought my own sandwich; sure it's half the money, but I'm far away from the game with no dog & beer. 25 games per season at $75 per game? I can think of many other places to put that $1875. F' Frank McCourt. (/rant) Sorry I missed it. Sounds like a good time was had by all. (By the way, I get that same feeling when the anthem plays.)
