Around SBN: Where Do The Lakers Go From Here?

A photographic tale of two games (mostly the win)

I went to the Saturday and Sunday games with my mother who is as big a Mets' fan as I. Nationals Park is great, $200 on stubhub for seats third row, section B, right behind the plate. It's great being that close, plus it includes a pre game buffett, and then all you can eat and drink in seat service. Saw Ray Knight waiting for the elevator Sunday, said, "hey Ray Knight, still got love for ya even if you are working for the enemy."  He is much taller in person than I expected.  Saw Howie Rose on Saturday and he looks thinner than I expected. My mother saw Wayne Hagen but I missed him. 

On Saturday with the game sucking I gave Brian Runge a few loud heckles including a "Runge you suck" after Maine blew up and I could discern through Atbat that he had been squeezing him.   Anyone else remember this: ?  He obviously has some problem with the Mets. 

Feel free to take and use these pics as you will, just credit them to me and dont' try and make money off them. If you want larger files lmk. 

Here is where i sat, great seats, within earshot of the plate


 

Maine during the first inning Saturday, all downhill from here


 

Church talking to some lady before the Sunday game(pretty sure it's Church); I like the I LUV NY shirt. 

Keith in the booth two hours before the game. 

 

National Anthem, "Jerry, why you looking at me?  hmm, I do have a short swing!"

Livan looking hungry

Livan was the only player to talk to the fans during the game, everyone else kept their back to us. Yeah Livan

 

The next few speak for themselves,

 


 

 

Getting ready to lead off

 

Beltan's single in the 8th

 

 


PIITB,

Yeah right, there's no issues with Church and Manuel! Just wish I could see whether they are shaking hands because Manuel sure looks like he's leaning away from Ryan. That's gangsta!

Notice how everyone follows Beltran, He is The Man.

Wow, these are awesome

Great job. I especially love the one with Wright blowing a bubble, and the one with Frankie and Schneider after the final out.

Really, Jerry?

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
