Game 72: Dodgers vs Seattle Mariners 4:2 (game report by Kristin!)
Enjoy the first game report by Kristin. Way to go!
**************
What a great win for the Dodgers last night keeping my record at a now stellar 6-0! Brett Tomko was supposed to start and was surprised to see Derek Lowe's name on the board as the one going. Smart move by Grady I have to say, having Tomko go against the hapless Pittsburgh Pirates tonight instead.
I believe this was Lowe's best game as a Dodger so far. I can see how Grady Little got fired by Boston though when he goes to get Lowe in the 9th and Derek said to leave him in. I have to believe the same thing happened with Pedro Martinez in the playoffs and it cost Little his job BUT it's all good for the Dodgers then!
I went to the game wearing my Beltre Mariners Jersey in support of Adrian and clapped and screamed loudly for him whenever he did something good. His first two games were obviously better but considering he got one hit, I can't complain. If anyone cares to check me out on the Dodgers site, I am under Gallery 1 with my brother and his wife. I like those fan galleries, they are pretty neat. You go to dodgers.com then to fan forum and then to pictures and put in June 22nd and then Gallery 1.
I like to get to the game early to see all the stuff that goes on during the pre game. I got to see Adrian take batting practice and got to see Carl Everett sit down and sign autographs for a lot of fans and even have his picture taken. For a guy who is supposed to be surly and strange, I thought it was pretty nice of him to do that, especially when it wasn't even his home ballpark. I saw Ned Colletti on the field before the game talking for like 15 minutes to a Mariners player (no, not Beltre). I finally figured out it was Jamie Moyer. They must have some history somewhere I would think.
I didn't get razzed too much for my jersey. I actually had a couple people come up to me and tell me, nice jersey and I thanked them. Near the end of the game of course you have the drunks and one said the Mariners sucked and I explained I was wearing it for Adrian, to celebrate him. Anyway, I am a Mariners fan too but the Dodgers definitely needed this win more. I am going to San Diego this weekend in which I am sure all Dodger fans will be rooting for Adrian Beltre and the Mariners then. I still don't understand the booing for him and funny, a guy who called in on the radio last night didn't either. Strange. Anyway, the three games are done and Adrian is gone again and I can root for the team again as well.
