Some pics from the Coliseum, pregame
Okay, I'm not Ansel Adams, but the scene at the Coliseum is pretty cool (it's currently a little after 8:00 pm, and I thought I'd share a few pics from down on the field before the game. Incidentally, the play of the night? Dustin Pedroia caught stealing in the fourth... 2-8. Don't see that everyday. Andrew Jones slapped that tag down pretty quick!
UPDATE: Okay, I know the formatting is totally off, but I can't seem to fix it. You'll have to use your imaginations. The stuff is pretty self-explanatory.

I start with something you don't see much at the Coliseum- blue. In fact, this guy is the bluest dude I've ever seen. Bluer than Rebecca Romijn in the X Men movies.
This might give you an idea of how close the wall is to third base. 201 feet, which, as a means of comparison, is about 25 feet or so SHORTER than the third base line in Williamsport for the Little League World Series.
Trippy, to say the least.
Two teams, one bullpen. Everyone shares.
A look inside the Dodgers' dugout. Not exactly plush.
A view from inside the tunnel, coming out on to the field. In hindsight, I don't know why I posted this one. Can't really see what's going on. Like I said, I'm a writer, not a photographer.
Lots of Dodger greats on hand tonight. Here's Andre Ethier and Dustin Pedroia of the Sox talking with Don Newcombe.
Apparently, I took two of those tunnel shots. This one's better.
James Loney signs some autographs on the way back to the clubhouse/Trojans locker room.
Andre Ethier "interviews" Russell Martin for whatever outlet that guy holding the camera to the left works for.
Repko, Jones, and Kemp around the cage. The setup they had on the field put the media incredibly close to the field (which is apparent because my camera ain't exactly zoomtastic). It was pretty cool.
I'll sift through the pictures and post some more as I come across some good ones.
Dodgers down 5-1, but I'm not sure anyone cares. 115,300 announced crowd. Pretty amazing.
