Extra innings = more for your money. Don't know how much you paid for your tickets but I wish we had about another 6 innings at our ticket prices.

I have pictures but Photobucket is being a rusty old hag.



Must have been fun!!

Fun was seeing Kershaw's face when my 8 year old told him "Ya know we don't boo you when you come here to play but I can't promise that for the rest of the Dodgers". He was a good sport about it, laughed and said that it was all good but he appreciated us not booing him. Lol

Arrieta told my boy he could be a Cubs fan just for the days he came out to play in SD. Funny side story, same year when the Cubs came to town and Arrieta started my son was the game ball delivery kid. He just did the same thing this year when Kershaw started a game here in SD.

Hey Hiram, was there as many empty seats as it looked like on TV? Kind of unusual for an all star game not to be sold out (?)

Priceless. Great memories for you and your son. Kershaw is one of the good guys.

According to a good friend who works for the organization the game was "oversold." He said seating capacity is 38,xxx if you include designated handicapped seating etc it jumps to 39,xxx. He said they sold almost 41,000 tickets. Not even sure how that happens. This isn't an airline flight.

Watched part of the game on TV. What was the deal with A-Rod walking onto the infield and conducting interviews with the NL SS/2B players while the game was still in progress?

Was this another shameless Fox Sports gimmick? Why not interview the on deck batter and/or the pitcher as well?

That's trying whatever they can do to get people somewhat interested in the game that means nothing.
