There is an AP story in the UT today by John Nadel. He's talking about how the Dodger fans left early last night and it cost them the ball game.
"Fortunately, where he hit that ball, there were three or four open seats," Gonzalez said. "it was pretty crowded out there early in the game. I got very lucky the fans at Dodger Stadium leave early.
"I thought it had a chance, especially with the way the ball was carrying today and the amount of home runs that were hit," Phillips said of his drive off Greg Aquino. "There's not one idiot out there that can reach over and grab the ball?"
"You just wish somebody would have forearmed him or something."
I wonder why Dodger fans don't support their team? Is it because Jason Phillips (El Cap and SDSU alum) calls them idiots or because they suck. Well I guess they don't suck just enough to take 2 of 3 from the NL West Leaders.
