Dodgers post season tickets on sale today

Ghoulish Delight · 09-25-2006, 08:28 AM

Today's the day, Dodger playoff tickets go on sale at 10AM.

Currently, the Dodgers are 1/2 game out of a playoff spot with 6 games to go. It's a toss up whether they'll make it, but I don't plan on being left out if they do.

If you buy your tickets at the Dodger Stadium box office this morning, and the game you paid for isn't played (either the Dodgers didn't make the playoffs, got sweep in the first round so they don't play game 4, they don't make it to the second round, etc.), they are fully refundable. If you buy them online, through ticketfvckers, they are fully refundable...except for the ticketfvckers service fee.

http://losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com has all the info, including potential schedules (depending on if the Dodgers are the Wild Card team or the NL West leader).

I'm buying 2 tickets for home game #2 of the LCS (crossing my fingers that they'll make it past round 1). If they make it that far and it's the schedule where they play that game on a Thursday...guess I'll have to practice my calling in sick voice.

Because of all the MouseAdventure work that goes on this time of year it is very hard to fit in exact schedules for the playoffs (sadly not a problem the last two years) so I was very glad to learn yesterday that a former coworker but four playoff strips when she only needs two and will happily sell me, at face value, any games I want to go to.

I was afraid I might have to camp.

This, after I cried poverty in the Knott's thread.

Guess I have to have pity, since the Dodgers haven't been contenders for a long, long time.

Besides, I want to go!

What, you didn't see this line-item on the home improvement budget?

Ghoulish Delight · 09-25-2006, 03:49 PM

Sweet, we ended up with 2 tickets to the 2nd Dodger home game of the NLCS. Decent seats (Reserve Deck, about even with 1B, row H).

Now IF the Dodgers come out of the season as division champs, and IF they make it through the first round and IF whomever they play in the second round has a worse regular season record then them OR was the Wild Card team, regardless of record, it will be game 2 of the series, Thursday Oct. 12.

Any other scenario where they make it out of the first round (i.e., they go in as the Wild Card, or their LCS opponent has a better record), it will be game 4 on Sunday Oct. 15.

Pretty straight forward, right? Personally, I'm hoping for scenario #2 because I don't want to have to ditch work, especially since that Friday is the day our counter is supposed to be installed which will also likely require some work ditching. And at this point, that's the most likely as they're closer to the Wild Card position than NL west champs, but we'll see.

Holy crap, what a game going on right now! I caught the first few innings on radio, now I'm following it online. Here's the recap so far...

1st inning: Brad Penny was a little shakey, gave up 3 runs. But he also struck out the side. Come the second inning, though, a pinch hitter appears, Penny's gone. Seems his back is giving him trouble once again.

2nd inning: Rookie James Loney gets those 3 runs back and then sum with a grand slam

3rd inning: Dodgers load the bases with nobody out and proceed to score 4 more runs in the inning (including to RBI by Loney, 6 total...so far)

4th inning: Chad Billingsly had been cruising with the big 5 run lead in relief of Penny...but blew up in the 4th. Some obscene number of singles (it was like 7 or 8 singles) later and the Dodgers were down by 2.

5th inning: Dodgers get those 2 right back with a walk and some base hits. Loney picks up his 7th RBI

6th inning: Dodgers at it again, the Dodgers lead off with back to back homers from Lofton and Anderson...and then keep piling it on for a total of 7 runs in the inning (matching Colorad's 7 in the 4th). Including...a 3 run homer by James Loney!!!! That's 10 (although the stats are showing 9, not sure where the discrepancy is)!

It's 17-10 Dodgers right now in the bottom of the 6th. Wow.

Hey! Keep your football scores out of the baseball thread.

After a questionable game Sunday the Dodgers are the Wildcards. OK I can live with that.

Are any of you locals going to Citywalk for the pep rally tonight? I'd probably go just to see the Donnas.

Ghoulish Delight · 10-02-2006, 08:26 AM

Questionable? We were moving so I couldn't watch it, all I know is that they won. Why questionable?

Personally, I'm happy they're the WC team as it means that if they make it to round 2, the game I've got tickets for is on a Sunday.
