Game is at 7:10 PM tonight at the former site of working family homes, Chavez Ravine.
Jered Weaver will be fighting for the little guy, Clayton Kershaw will be pitching for the big-money politico machine. Criticizing the very existence of this transplant franchise is so easy, I could do a Top 100 List... Anyone going to the game tonight? Have Dodger fan friends? Family? Co-Workers? Neighbors? I get chided at In-n-Out and our Magic-Johnson-Starbucks by the kids working there when I wear my Angels cap here in Souf Centrow, but I got the hat on this weekend. You?

This seems like an appropriate time
To repost the single greatest piece of journalism the OC Weekly has ever produced. (Language may be NSFW.)
ReggieBullits - May 22, 2009
That is awesome
and probably the ONLY good piece of journalism the OC Weekly has ever produced. I kid, I kid. No really, the OC Weekly is great if you like your news with gobs of sanctimony.
Higz - May 22, 2009
The OC Weekly is great i fyou like to wipe your ass with the newspaper.
firebird81 - May 22, 2009
altho, they did get that one right!
firebird81 - May 22, 2009
+1
clogs the toilet though
Higz - May 22, 2009
Gustavo Arellano is awesome
And they do some pretty good investigative hits now and then.
mattwelch - May 22, 2009
I read that rag every Friday...no idea why, sometimes. They should call it The Downtown SantAna Weekly.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
They have good concert listings
I’ll give em that
Higz - May 22, 2009
yeah but if they didnt list concerts,,,who else would?
hahaha…..
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - May 22, 2009
To be fair, they did uncover that whole Corona shit show.
Most weeks there’s bits and pieces of legitimacy, at least.
ReggieBullits - May 22, 2009
I like R. Scott Moxley and Nick Schou.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
True that
But only because the OC Weekly’s one mission in life is to smear the police. Nothing wrong with keeping the cops in check, but the Weekly’s OBSESSION with digging up and oftentimes REACHING for dirt is almost comedic. But hey, the sun’s ass shines on a dog every once in a blue moon, er, or something like that…
Higz - May 22, 2009
Sorry for the tangent
BASEBALL is the topic. baseball baseball baseball baseball baseball baseball baseball baseball
Higz - May 22, 2009

Figgi4life - May 22, 2009
Man, I hate Dodgers fans(not REAL hate, but you know what I mean). I have a couple friends that are fans of the Dodgers, and we basically just avoid the subject, like it was religion or politics.
I really hope we win this series.
Dodgers fans have the least intelligent and illiterate fanbase in all of MLB.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
I see your Dodgers....
…and raise you a Boston
The Limey - May 22, 2009
True. I did have NY and BOS in my head too, but for this series' sake...I decided to be inflammatory towards that other LA team.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
Rev, you live in souf centrill?
daaaaaaaaaaaamn…now i know why you got that tricked out Halos’s hat premiered a week back or so.
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - May 22, 2009
Santa Fe And Slauson
Just behind Andy’s Super Burgers which I never eat at.
Rev Halofan - May 22, 2009
so a little more central and a little less south....
still, you are all up in the mix of Los Angeles. I can see how it might be a bit hard to be sporting Angels gear in that hood.
I guess that is what Aybar is for though…biting the ass of intruding Dodger fans.
BryanHarvey'sMoustache - May 22, 2009
Don't think we'll see that happening anytime soon
I heard that Doyer fans taste like Mini Sirloin Burgers.
eyespy - May 22, 2009
I was born at one of the clinics on Slauson......in Culver city.
dont remember anything about it though……just that’s what my Birth Certificate says.
norcaliangelsfan - May 22, 2009
grew up in Santa Clarita before my move north in 94
norcaliangelsfan - May 22, 2009
My older sister bleeds Doyer Blue.
And was totally obnoxious about it through the dark years.
Back in the ’70s, the Doyers were OK to me, but no more…
red floyd - May 22, 2009
I call bullshit. Dodgers fans always say this, yet they don't really bleed blue. Angels fans bleed red, though.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
WORD
eyespy - May 22, 2009
I live in South Central... Orange County
Angel Country. My baseball existence is an easy one.
Higz - May 22, 2009
I really HATE them!
Especially all the idiots in the bleachers and nose bleeds …
red floyd, you’re right, back then they were ok. from the 90’s on, they have become intolerable…
Angel'sAngel - May 22, 2009
hey, I call icon infringement!
HaloDutch - May 22, 2009
i feel the same way
its like late nineties they’ve become more stupid. i think it was the Raiders leaving and the idiot fans needed a void to fill or something. i’m not hating on the Raiders because thats my team, but i know we have alot of idiot fans. i wish i can just move on to another team.
HALO_86 - May 22, 2009
Doyer fans are very unintelligent
when it comes to baseball. I coach a high school team and 90% of them are Doyer fans and it gets pretty damn annoying. But even if we sweep them or win 2 of 3 the Doyers are still the better team to Doyer fans. Annoying bastards.
angelskid2210 - May 22, 2009
Well, they must pride themselves on being unintelligent or something.
Almost every time I’ve gotten into the Angels/Dodgers argument, the Dodgers fan will refute my stats and baseball talk with “Oh yeah?! Well their name is stupid!!!! They arent LA…they don’t even know where they’re from, ey!!!!!!” Seriously, this has been their comeback 9 out of 10 times. One time a dude actually busted out some decent stats, and I bought him a beer. It was refreshing(a Dodger fan making a legitimate point…not the beer).
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
I'm sure the beer was refreshing, too...
red floyd - May 22, 2009
I like beer. And nachos.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
Just make sure you're sober when you take any more pictures
My eyes still haven’t recovered
red floyd - May 22, 2009
I'm thinking of going over to True Blue LA and posting it...I think it would melt their brains.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
nor porntrolling
please
Rev Halofan - May 22, 2009
I live in Wilmington, technically in the city of LA.
Lots and lots of Dodger fans. Every friend I have has to make the observation that “The Angels suck.” Went to see a Pirates/Dodgers game (I like the Bucs, but not as much as the Angels). The fans can be idiots. I blame the Raiders leaving.
moosemastr - May 22, 2009
WILMINGTON
I was at a punk rock show there in like 1981 and a riot broke out. Lotta cops.
Rev Halofan - May 22, 2009
credit card companies are located there… oops, that’s Delaware.
Downing Rules - May 22, 2009
Not much has changed, my friend.
moosemastr - May 22, 2009
i should have read all the post before posting
i feel the same way about the Raiders leaving
HALO_86 - May 22, 2009
My wife is a Dodgers fan
So we go to as many Dodger games as Angels games… Sometimes the fans at the stadium can be intolerable. Most people I know are more baseball fans than anything, so we usually avoid arguments.
chairmanofthebar - May 22, 2009
that has to lead to interesting family debates during baseball season!
wallispdub1 - May 22, 2009
Only when they play against each other...
But I have been a little “mouthy” this season since the Angels haven’t been doing so hot.
chairmanofthebar - May 22, 2009
I’ve never been to a Dodgers-Angels game in LA. However, my experiences at dozens of games at Dodger Stadium since I was a kid have been pleasant.
Only recently have my friends at work become a bit stand-offish about the “rivalry” (quoted, as I don’t view it as such). Prior to, say 2004, there was never any hostility, just poking fun here and there. Maybe it’s me. Maybe it is the fact that the Angels win more often now. Before we just rolled over and were comfortable playing second fiddle in LA.
Downing Rules - May 22, 2009
the problem with Dodger fans is that too many of them are also Raider fans
HaloDutch - May 22, 2009
Ugh
I think half the people with Dodgers and Raiders stickers on their cars aren’t really fans of either team. It’s a status symbol. A bad one.
chairmanofthebar - May 22, 2009
or
too many Raider fans are Dodger fans. :)
HALO_86 - May 22, 2009
My office is about half red, half blue.
The Dodger fan spectrum is covered by the two of them here.
One is my boss, Jeff, who considres himself a National League purist. He’s the kind of Dodger fan that sees his transplant team as the heir of all that rich Brooklyn history, all those retired numbers, etc. One of those amateur baseball historians who knows what I’m talking about when I refer to “dem bums.”
Then there’s Saul, who really has little idea who is on the 25 man roster, probably has no idea what team Brad Penny is pitching for this year, if he even knew last year. He’s not as bad as it gets – he doesn’t carry a switch and doesn’t start fights with strangers. But in the end Blue is just something he’s assimilated into. Perhaps he inherited it. I dunno.
I won’t be going to any game till Tuesday cause I’ve got a full weekend.
Zoe Necrosis - May 22, 2009
Ahhh yes...I've been given the "Your team has no history or tradition" line before. If I cared about history and tradition, I'd wait for sex until I'm married, I'd watch The Tonight Show every night, I'd buy a newspaper every mornin
If I cared about boring anachronistic tradition, I’d wait for sex until I’m married, I’d watch The Tonight Show every night, I’d buy a newspaper every morning and I’d be listening to Lawrence Welk on vinyl as I typed this into my Underwood Five.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
Your anachrostic post got stuck in a reverb chamber and "echoed"...at least part of it.
“…how about some Champagne bubbles?”
sothball - May 22, 2009
I turned down the reverb a bit, turned up the treble.
Mayheminthehood - May 22, 2009
There's an easy way to shut up 50% of Dodger fans
Ask them to name four players on the current roster besides Manchild Ramirass.
Just make sure it’s not a one of you and five of them situation. Like ‘Tater Salad’ said: “I don’t know how many of ‘em it’d take to woop me… But I knew how many they were gonna use.”
Zoe Necrosis - May 22, 2009
Good guys VS. Summertime Raiders
autry's cowboys - May 22, 2009
Going to the game tonight...
…tickets were given to me by a vendor. I wear my Angels cap wherever I go so…we will see what happens!
sothball - May 22, 2009
This article oozes of racism...
Shifty1 - May 22, 2009
umm, which article are you talking about?
linkbruin - May 22, 2009
Goin to the Latrine tomorrow.
So glad I’m not in the paviliion this time.
Maybe I’ll skip a few fistfights over beachballs
or couples dry humping on the bench
and obstructing my view
lightupthat420 - May 22, 2009
What are all those Dodger fans in attendance going to do when Vinny retires?
Who is going to talk to them over their AM radio headphones and tell them what is going on right in front of their very own eyes?
Stirrups - May 22, 2009
So in essence
when Vinny unplugs the mic, Doyer fans will go blind.
eyespy - May 22, 2009
I like Steiner a lot
Charley Steiner is actually as good a play by play man as any team has. He is a lot like Terry Smith but a broader range of references and a bigger vocabulary.
Rev Halofan - May 22, 2009
I HATE THE DODGERS!!!!!
There…it’s out of my system now.
linkbruin - May 22, 2009
How fitting
The Dodger jersey is # 13
Funke5ive - May 22, 2009
I have two friends at the game right now.
One was true to his team and wore the red and one was a total puss and refused to. Last year we went and there were three good fights in the cheap seats. Too bad they lost that night and we had to do the walk of shame wearing all red.
It was the first time in my life I couldn’t piss in public. All these big loked out Dodger fans were heckling me and pushing me while my fly was down.
