I have arrived at Dodger Stadium, for the first of what will hopefully be many times covering the team. I will post updates periodically before, during, and after the game, but in the meantime here are some photos:

A new entrance for me:

Getting goosebumps...

About to enter a new frontier...

Here is the obligatory shot of our website with the stadium in the background (this is an awful photo; I'll take another one a little later)...

Four hours early, what a trooper. Are you by yourself?

When I got here

there was only one other person.

Ken Gurnick and Dylan Hernandez are here (I haven’t introduced myself yet), along with about 10 others.

Awesome, Congrats!

I look forward for your updates. Good luck not cheering and acting professional. I would be a kid in the candy store right now….

Find out if the press box has an echo.

Wait, don’t.

Welcome to True Blue, I notice you didn’t bother coming here until ESPN got involved.

I intended to, but can't get to the computer often, since my husband blogs 24/7

I hope you wore your True Blue Hawaiian shirt today. Style points are important.

Barring continued performances like last night obviously, any chance we see Furcal go to the 7 or 8 spot?
