“ When the sun sets at Dodger Stadium, I am impressed first of all with the mountains because, at this time of year, they are fully defined. It makes me think of some of the great artists who did Western paintings — Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, Frank McCarthy, to name a few — because they must have been inspired by that.
And then the cloud formations. At sunset, they turn pink. And as it continues, the closer you are to sunset, the clouds are still kind of gold. Farther away in center field and right field, you’re away from the sunset and the clouds are turning purple. So you think of an artist’s palette with various colors, and it just takes your breath away.

Down on the field, a ballgame is just beginning. But the sunset becomes a major distraction because it’s so overwhelming it’s hard to take your eyes off it. And then the palm trees — there’s a group of palm trees on the hill behind left field — they are defined against the sky, and they are turning colors with the sunset. You can’t see that anywhere else in a ballpark.”

that guy was a rube & I know he got tossed. Bradley shoulda let it go.
but come on Yanks fans are hated the world around.
WHy?


So they are just pro war I guess. But why boo the worlds biggest warmonger?


How can you say your fans have class when they actually are part of the language with "The Bronx Cheer"

Roget’s II: The New Thesaurus, Third Edition. 1995.


Bronx cheer

NOUN: Slang. Any of various derisive sounds of disapproval: boo, catcall, hiss, hoot. Slang : bird, raspberry, razz. See SOUNDS.


That’s classy.

here's how i read this:

yankee fans are bad b/c they booed at someone who wouldn't stand during God Bless America. (i would've booed)

yankee fans contradict themselves by booing cheney (i would've thrown a bottle at him).

yankee fans invented booing.

was that it?

exactly, this thing's full of morons.

...and I blame ESPN. Seriously. For some reason, ESPN made a big deal of Cubs fans throwing opposing team home run balls back on the field. That kind of thing NEVER happened at Dodger Stadium. NEVER. Then all of a sudden people started doing it all over the place. Dodger Stadium, Candlestick, everywhere. I say it's a Cub thing. Let those stupid Chitown losers have their little bs ritual tantrum. Keep it out of my park. Next thing you know though, everyone is throwing shit on the field.

I blame Raider fan. You know who he is. You saw him and his buddies flipping cars a few years back after the Lakers won the championship. You've seen him throwing batteries (mainly D cells) at opposing players. He usually gets tanked in the parking lot, gets in a fight with some kid's dad in the fifth and is tossed by the sixth. He's generally got a shaved head, tats, and possible gang affiliation. IMO, he's the reason there's no football in L.A. I blame Raider fan.

Back to the topic. Yeah, that Dodger game was sick. I'm a little afraid of their tendency to have to come from behind, though. It'd be nice if they could get out to a good lead and keep it - that's pretty rare. It's going to be nice to see "the hated ones" in 2nd place in the West. What a classic rivalry.

Tuffy, I agree. It was classless, and Dodger fans used to be the exact opposite of that. I'll never forget when it changed though, and I blame ESPN. Seriously. For some reason, ESPN made a big deal of Cubs fans throwing opposing team home run balls back on the field. That kind of thing NEVER happened at Dodger Stadium. NEVER. Then all of a sudden people started doing it all over the place. Dodger Stadium, Candlestick, everywhere. I say it's a Cub thing. Let those stupid Chitown losers have their little bs ritual tantrum. Keep it out of my park. Next thing you know though, everyone is throwing shit on the field. D

dude, its a little bit different: a tradtion of throwing the opposing teams HR ball back onto the field vs. throwing bottles, chairs, etc.....

As a life-long-die-hard Cubs fan, I resent the bogus comparison

I know. I was just ripping on the defenseless.

It's a tradition over there and that's fine with me. But that doesn't mean everyone has to do it. Sorta like it's funny if Bobby Knight throws a chair, but if someone else does it it's exceedingly stupid.

And while I'm being a curmudgeon, wtf is the deal with God Bless America being sung during the seventh inning stretch. It's just one more reason to hate the Yankees. You know what? For the last 70-80 years, Take Me Out to the Ballgame has been sung during the 7th inning stretch at every single game ever played. It's a part of baseball, like the national anthem. Speaking of which, isn't that good enough. Nooooo...the fucking stupid pinstripe wearing shitheads have to bombard people with even more nationalistic propaganda at the exact moment when beer sales stop. That's just un-American I tell you!!!!

Here's a great article on the Bradley incident:
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1891679

Bradley got a 5 game suspension. He didn't offer any excuses for his behavior and is finally talking about dealing with his anger issues.

As for the fan:
"Mario Garcia, 33, of West Covina, who allegedly threw the bottle, was detained and arrested early Wednesday, LAPD spokeswoman Adriana Sanchez said. Garcia was charged with throwing an object on the field with the intent to interfere with play or distract a player."
