I really feel for the LA Clipper players that visit the Stadium, only to be booed by the
crowd when they are announced to the paying Dodger Fans. One time I saw LA Clipper
point guard Chris Paul get jeered by the crowd, while CP3 had his son in his arms!
Let's face it, Dodger fans are synonymous to Laker Fans- they are one and the same,
bleeding Blue, Purple, and Gold. Regardless, I am a backer of both teams because this
is Los Angeles. We have the luxury to enjoy two teams, winners or losers, it just so
happens that the Clippers have always been the losers and that's why I have always
enjoyed them. It's fun to root for the underdogs.

Back to work . . .

Back at Stand 740,
Tonight's pitching match-up is displayed on the Jumbo Tron.
"Holy $#!T!, Kershaw's on the mound?"
"Oh my god!" Maribel exclaims in Valley girl dismay- she is tripping on
my cluelessness.
+ +
"The Dogs are done man!"
+
Might as well watch Clayton get his last warm-up throws in . . .
+
+
+
BEAST!
+ + +
Back at Stand 740,
We have Grilled Dodger Dogs in full effect . . .

1st Inning,
While rinsing some pans under hot water, Maribel and I are talking
about getting our own Vin Scully Bobblehead give-away this Tuesday.
"Your gonna get a Vin Scully Bobblehead box but with a Fernando Valenzuela
Bobblehead inside," Eastside Art interjects.
"Ahhh hell no!" the Work Wife exclaims.
"He's just jealous."
"He's a hater."
I'm gonna buy Scully B.H. for myself and the "Work Wife".

2nd Inning,

3rd Inning,
"All we have is Bud Light sir," Andy tells a thirsty customer.
"There are different varieties if you walk toward the portable bar to your left."
("Varieties!"-What the heck?)
"Beers are not varieties Andy, they are not flowers."
"It's called a selection, dude!"

4th Inning,
Sales typically slow down at this point of the game, less cooking.
With about 60 Dodger Dogs and 40 Super Dogs remaing up for grabs on the
a-la-cart window, I think it's best to make one more pack of each just to be
safe so that we do not run out. As I grab two bags from the freezer and
reach for the knife, I hear:
"Don't cook anymore Tony!"
(What the heck- Jose is fronting!)
"We have enough Dodger Dogs Tony, don't cook anymore," his words
are stone cold.
I wanna pull the trigger- cut open a new bag of Dogs . . .
"We are going to RUN OUT, bro."
To cook or not to cook?: Not one of us is going to back down.
His eyes are serious, like daggers stabbing me in the brain through
my eye sockets. I grip the safety cutter and hold it to the corner of
Dodger Dog bag.
"We-might-need-these-Dogs, bro!"
Jose's grip tightens on my apron.
His teeth make a snarl.
(Have you ever seen Wolverine and Sabertooth face off?)
Now I'm scared- I drop the safety cutter and throw the Dogs on the silver counter.
"O.K. (H)oser O.K.!- I'll stop cooking Dogs."
I think Jose needs a beer after work.
The daggers are still poking.
+ +
Sure enough bottom of the 5th,
"There's no Dodger Dogs this side of the Mississippi!" the Fry Guy
alarms the crew.
"Damn it, I knew this was gonna happen!"
"Your dad is a dictator dude, No actually he is a Dog-tator," I tell Andy.
"(My dad) never stopped you before, remember the big D-Dog over cook
of 2015?"
"Good point."
+ +
6th Inning,
"This is a Dog-tatorship!" Andy shouts.
"Tony lives and dies by the dog!" Fry Guy tells us.
"To live and dog in LA."
