TBLA Dodger Stadium Outing - May 1st, Saturday Night

Our first of several games this year will be on May 1st, Saturday Night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. For the first game we are going the cheaper route, Lower Reserve.  The full TBLA crew will be on hand to handle all the heckling you can throw our way.  Last year we clinched the pennant on TBLA game night.

Here are some photo's of last years event

We currently have reserved 32 seats in groups of eight so we are not strewn all over a row. Reserve your spot as soon as possible, if we need more I can add them. El Sid (Sherril's Brother) and Skunkburner might be in town, and you just never know what special event we might be able to cook up. You don't want to read about it, you want to experience it.

Where - Chavez Ravine

When -   Ma y 1st, Saturday Night

Who -     Pittsburgh Pirates

Seats -   Lower Reserve, Section 40, Seats 1 - 8 for Rows G, H, I, J

Cost  -   $12.00

How  -   Leave a comment below with how many. Must be a TBLA member to participate.

Payment -  Tickets will be mailed, I'll trust you to pay me either via Paypal or cash at the game. No checks, I'll only lose them.

Extra Info - Last year just about everyone got a prize, don't expect that this year.  I will however have a 2010 2009 Laker World Championship ring you may take a photo with.

Looking forward to it

You bet your ass I'm gonna be there.

Sec 22 row B. Wish I’d known, we’d come over and sit with you. Maybe I’ll just stop by and say “Go Dodgers”!

by Skunkburner on Mar 16, 2010 2:48 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

Say something different like “Go Pirates” so we can distinguish you from the crowd :)

by Eric Stephen on Mar 16, 2010 2:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

Completely off topic

but I thought this stat from last night’s Lakers/Warriors game was interesting. From the Kamenetzky Bros:

Fun facts via Elias III: LA = 56-25 rebounding advantage, or 69.1% of available boards. Highest % for LAL in 24 second clock era. BK

by Eric Stephen on Mar 16, 2010 3:15 PM PDT reply actions  

Lakers commit 24 turnovers in the game, Warriors 5
Evens out?

by 68elcamino427 on Mar 16, 2010 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

Darn

I will not be able to make this one, up here in Mammoth that would be opening day for LL and it would not look good for me to skip out on my team (Dodgers of course) also I am a past president and current board member.

Hope all of you have fun, and look forward to the pictures.

SF giants 5th starter candidates

Bumgarner has ZERO STRIKEOUTS… through 7 innings in Spring training….

Todd Wellemeyer has 1 K through 8 innings…

Phil:

Put me down for 2. I may up that as time goes by.

Phill do you have other days in mind already for future outings? I would love to go May 1 but its a crazy day for me I have USC spring game I’m going to then I’m rushing home to catch the Kentucky Derby and I’ll finish my day watching the Mayweather/Mosley fight and Dodgers game

by Dodgermanramon on Mar 16, 2010 4:10 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

Not yet

but probably one in July and one Sept. We shall see how this one works out.

Jamie McCourt

had some real ambitions.

Having affairs is how junior Senators behave so that must have been the overriding reason behind the Fuller Brush affair. Proving to the world she has what it takes to succeed in US politics. Who knew it would be so easy to make Frank look the good guy?

Joe Mauer

is only hitting .600 this spring. Are the negotiations screwing with his mind?

by meercatjohn on Mar 16, 2010 4:39 PM PDT reply actions  

I am hoping for the back to back as much as anyone butt.....

I will however have a 2010 Laker World Championship ring you may take a photo with.

that will be quite a trick as the playoffs will not be over until about mid-June

by MammothDodger on Mar 16, 2010 9:00 PM PDT reply actions  

Since Phil wrote the column, Phil will reply

Sometimes I like to put throw away lines like that to see if anyone actually reads until the end. Since we went 20 comments before someone mentioned it, I guess the answer is clear.

However in this case I did make a mistake, the year is 2009 and you will have to come to the game if you want to see what I mean.

Judging from the number of replies in the other topic, they do.

I just thought “2010” was funny.

by David Young on Mar 17, 2010 8:51 AM PDT up reply actions  

I'll go ahead and go +1

I can pay $24 even if I have to burn one of the tickets.

Can we pay in advance so I don’t forget about it like I did last time?

by Jacob Burch on Mar 17, 2010 12:35 AM PDT reply actions  

I would think there is nothing that would stop you from Paypal-ing him today, other than not having a Paypal account.

Not having a Pay-pal account could make it very hard to Pay-pal the money over :)

Plane tix are booked

so…I will be there. Not sure where family sits for Dodgers games. Never been to the stadium anyway, so it will be new all around.

by elsid on Mar 17, 2010 1:23 PM PDT reply actions  

Great, looking

forward to meeting you. I plan on leaving a few tickets unsold so we have room for those who already have tickets to come by and say hi.

by meercatjohn on Mar 17, 2010 1:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

One for Me

Unfortunately the Husband is working but I would love to go.

by Lidlbit on Mar 17, 2010 6:28 PM PDT reply actions  

Hmmm

I just started dating a girl with season tickets so I might be relegated to coming up and saying hi, but as of now I’d go with a tentative 1. Is there a deadline?

by overkill94DT on Mar 21, 2010 6:55 PM PDT reply actions  

Hmmm

What was the attraction?

by David Young on Mar 22, 2010 1:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

Count me in

for one ticket!

Who is Karim Garcia? Who is he to challenge me?

It might not be Star Wars night...

… but i still want to go! count me in too!

Count me in

for two tickets. not sure if my email is attached to my screen name on here, but you can email me at blennox@deloitte.com for my address

by Brandon Lennox on Apr 6, 2010 9:57 AM PDT reply actions  

Should be a hell of a time.

Pre-game beers anywhere?

interleague scheduling question

Besides the rivalry series, how do they determine matchups? I thought it was division vs division, but I see we are playing East and Central teams this year.

by CarolinaDodger on Apr 6, 2010 10:15 AM PDT reply actions  

You know what, I’m been waffling, but I’ll take one ticket for me.

by Tripon on Apr 6, 2010 10:31 AM PDT reply actions  

JJ

I’ve already got ElSid, Skunkburner, and Bhsportsguy planning on doing the same. I was going to hold out some tickets so they would have a place to sit. Are you planning on buying a seat or hoping we will have some space for you?

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen

by Phil Gurnee on Apr 6, 2010 11:15 AM PDT up reply actions  

Don't worry about saving a seat for now.

I’m not 100% I’ll be able to make it. If I do, I can just stop by in between innings to say hello. But count me in for any pre game festivities or post-game drinks.

by JJ 24 on Apr 6, 2010 11:42 AM PDT up reply actions  

Sell the tix if you need to.

I’ll come by and meet everyone then who knows. I’ll prob have a child with me so I’ll be up and down.

by Skunkburner on Apr 12, 2010 4:29 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions  

Is there any pre or post game festivities?

If so let me know. We’d love to hang out for a bit. We mght have the childrens with us, but they don’t mind as long as they have a juicebox. You can listen to he 3 year old call out most of the roster.

by Skunkburner on Apr 6, 2010 12:22 PM PDT via mobile reply actions  

we did that with the DT crew not too long ago

and it was a blast.

Who is Karim Garcia? Who is he to challenge me?

by Who Is Karim Garcia? on Apr 6, 2010 3:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

I played in that game

and have been wanting another game for the past two years :)

by JJ 24 on Apr 6, 2010 3:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

No BlueBleeder

or Kevin, so hits would be plentiful:)

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen

Bluebleeder was

minotauresque.

by Who Is Karim Garcia? on Apr 6, 2010 4:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

Damn, I get no respect. My pitches were not as fast, but I was like Maddux out there inducing outs galore.

by robotmadeofnails on Apr 7, 2010 9:37 AM PDT up reply actions  

pre-game wiffleball would rock my world

by mintxcore on Apr 6, 2010 4:39 PM PDT up reply actions  

Don’t count me out yet

by robotmadeofnails on Apr 7, 2010 9:37 AM PDT up reply actions  

and by "not too long ago"

do you mean, like, 2 years ago? ;D

by mintxcore on Apr 6, 2010 4:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

Sorry I can’t attend. I live out the area and it’s impossible for me to make it. Next time.
