When one Padre fan presumably noticed that his counterparts were collecting the Trevor Hoffman souveneir clocks he asked out loud, "What the hell does a Dodger fan need with a Trevor Hoffman clock?"
Some ramblings from a camp of fellow Dodger fans around me, plus my thoughts:
"You know the Mendoza line? There ought to be a Betemit line."
Yes, Betemit would be proud that baseball would name its negative decimal system in his honor.
"Juan Pierre dropped a fly ball in center yesterday night. He's hor-ri-ble!"
About Jason Schmidt:
Dodger Fan #1:"He'll be back."
D.F. #2:"His velocity is eighty-four miles per hour!"
D.F. #3 throwing up his hand: "He's hurt!"
[muttering about the rotator cuff injury.]
Sounds a lot like Darren Dreifort, Kevin Brown, or Hideo Nomo. Who says Schmidt can't be a true Dodger?
"The people here (in San Diego) are friendly. They don't yell at their own players...like we do."
