Couple of baseball notes

I really enjoy going to games at Citizens Bank Park. It's a very nice place to watch a baseball game, and I love the energy of the crowd. Last night I really loved the "You take steroids" chant with rhythmic applause. Pretty funny. I could easily do without any chant that ends with the word "sucks." I will plead guilt to being part of crowds in Yankee Stadium whow started it all with their classic "Boston Sucks" chant. But it's enough already. It's boring and unpleasant and not focused on the game. In the beginning, when we chanted in New York it was never during the game. It was something to do on the way out of the stadium after you won. So I'll stick with "Beat LA" and "cheater."

Regarding the baseball itself, I think that there's now tremendous pressure on the Dodgers to win both of the next two games. Even if they split and get back to LA, they still would have to beat Lee in game 7 and they didn't look quite up to that task last night. And don't think he wouldn't have stayed in the game if it was 1-0.
