I was 9 and watching with my brother on our tiny portable t.v. (with a 6 inch screen?) in our bedroom.
It was the first year I had watched baseball and, of course, had fallen in love with the Dodgers during their gritty, underdog season.
Gibby's home run sent volts of excitement down my spine and I remember almost crying.
The next day my brother and I went to the park with our bat (with a sawed-off handle) and a tennis ball and acted out the moment over and over again until we got it just right.
that's cool! i did that but it was the 81 world series'

A little worried about Saito. At least Broxton has the day off today.

Lowe to start Game 4?
Manager Joe Torre used superstition as an excuse to not say whether Game 1 starter Derek Lowe would pitch a potential Game 4 on short rest, but hinted strongly that would be the case.
"I think it's the same thing as not saying until making the playoffs," Torre said. "Derek felt fine today. We certainly know he's aware and on board."
If Lowe doesn't pitch, Torre said, the most likely candidate to pitch on Sunday would be Greg Maddux. Because Hong-Chih Kuo isn't available this round, Torre said he wanted to keep left-hander Clayton Kershaw in the bullpen.
Got a little nervous at the end but DAMN THAT ENDED GOOD!!!
Yeah, Saito did not fool anyone, and Broxton couldn't find the zone either, but that line drive out was huge.

This series is not over. The Cubs have a deeper pitching staff than the Dodgers. If it goes to game 4, Lowe will be pitching on 3 days rest.
The Dodgers haven't won a series in 20 years. I am 35. Most of my life has been Dodger disappointment. I am pleased by the first 2 games, but I am definitely not counting my chickens.

Hey, that was totally uncalled for. I'm rooting for the Dodgers and it sickens me they've gone this long w/out the title, thus the throwing up pic. What's the matter w/you?

By the way, anyone going to the game tomorrow night ... I read there are like 4 major events going on in LA tomorrow night. USC football, something at Staples Center, etc. So give yourself plenty of time to get to the Stadium and represent!

so there'd be no effect on traffic if there was a home game for the Angels tomorrow with every other event?
