Cherie and Bo Go to a Ballgame

2008-06-27 15:14

by Jon Weisman

The thaw is complete. Free shuttle service from Union Station to Dodger Stadium will start after the All-Star Break and continue through the end of the season, now that the Los Angeles City Council has approved the $70,000 expense, reports Bill Shaikin of the Times.

Buses will begin rolling 90 minutes before game time. I asked Shaikin how often they would come by – here's his reply: "They're planning to use five buses in rotation, for what they believe will be an 18-minute ride. So, in theory, you shouldn't have to wait more than a few minutes for the next bus. In reality, I imagine it will depend on how many people show up and how quickly they can be loaded and unloaded, and no one will know that until the service starts."

Whether the shuttle will continue in coming seasons depends on whether (in the eyes of the powers that be) usage justifies the funding.

If I were guessing, I'd say the biggest problem would come at the end of the game, when everyone wants to use the shuttle at once, as opposed to the beginning, when people arrive in staggered fashion. I suppose some will leave the game early to get in line for the shuttle, but as we saw at the Coliseum game in March, that doesn't guarantee you a timely ride.

1. Howard Fox

so I guess the real questions are what will the shuttle cost, and how much lost parking revenue will there be...

2008-06-27 15:30:34

2. Howard Fox

and yes, I can read, but nothing is free

2008-06-27 15:30:57

3. Robert Fiore

Here's a tip from someone who used to ride the bus to the stadium in the '80s: At the end of the game, walk down to Sunset and catch a regular bus there. It's downhill. You just paid at least ten dollars to watch Juan Pierre; what's another $1.25 against an hour of your life?

2008-06-27 15:33:06

4. Jon Weisman

2 - Well, did you read the $70,000 part?

2008-06-27 15:33:59

5. Eric Enders

I prefer to think of it as me paying $20 to watch Russell Martin and getting a $10 refund for having to watch Juan Pierre.

2008-06-27 15:35:46

6. Howard Fox

4 so they'll get us by raising our taxes to pay for it, at the very least

2008-06-27 15:39:25

7. Jon Weisman

6 - Yes, and I know these things add up, and this money could go elsewhere, but $70,000 divided by x million taxpayers doesn't seem significant to me. Not to open this up to a political discussion or anything.

But yes, you're right. Nothing is truly free except the things that are truly free.

2008-06-27 15:39:48

8. Eric Enders

I find it difficult to believe that a city the size of Los Angeles has to up the tax rate to cover a $70,000 expense.

I'm guessing it could be budgeted somewhere.

2008-06-27 15:40:31

9. Marty

Cool. I've been trying to leave my car at home at least twice a week. Perhaps this will motivate me to buy some tickets.

2008-06-27 15:43:28

10. underdog

Use it or lose it people!

This is great. Now one could conceivably take the train (amtrak or metrolink) or the subway and connect to Dodger Stadium, which is awesome.

Imagine on how much traffic this could conceivably cut down at Dodger Stadium, and in the area, and cut down on pollution. If you ask me this is a bargain.

PS: I had to rack my brain for the Cherie and Bo reference and then - ah hah! Inge, Bus Stop!

Ethier will play tonight because he homered off Saunders before, right?

Carlos Delgado had 9 RBI's in todays game against the Yankees. Andruw Jones has 7 RBI in 2008 after 133 AB in 43 games.

2008-06-27 16:03:23

17. DXMachina

10 - It took me a second to figure it out, too. The one time I've seen Bus Stop, a very young Tim Daly played Bo.

2008-06-27 16:03:48

18. LogikReader

This is terrific! I'm going to make sure everyone knows about this. At last! We get a free passage to the game. Now is there not a special "bus lane" into the Dodger Stadium parking lot?

Its so easy to just take a red line ride to Union Station, board the shuttle and then use it again to go back. Where would the shuttle drop everyone off? I'm hoping it's somewhere behind the Pavilion. That sounds like a good spot, equal distance to every entrance.

2008-06-27 16:04:04

19. Howard Fox

yes, but Andruw has faced much tougher competition this year than Delgado

2008-06-27 16:05:10

20. DXMachina

16 - Mets fans will still boo Delgado for every out he makes in the second game tonight.

2008-06-27 16:05:39

21. evenatriple

I took the shuttle once when it was available a few years ago on Friday nights. There was a substantial initial wait before it left, but we had our own lanes blocked out along Sunset and moved very quickly especially given the gridlock for the other lanes (possibly because a lane was taken away for the DS shuttle). Coming back was no problem, I think because I ran like the wind to get to the bus stop as soon as the game ended. But after seeing the long long lines to get a bus after the Coliseum game, my faith in the team's ability to manage this properly is limited.

16.
Ouch.
I almost forgot we still had him for a minute.

2008-06-27 16:06:45

23. Howard Fox

18 yes, it sounds great...I looked up the connections from Moorpark, and I can take the train in and arrive about 1-1/2 hrs before the game and catch the bus to the stadium, then after the game, catch the next train at 6 am to go home...

2008-06-27 16:07:39

24. LogikReader

Councilman Bill Rosendahl wondered during a committee hearing why the Dodgers would not pick up any of the cost.

Good ol' Frank, squeezing every penny.

Of course that may mean the Dodgers aren't in control of the shuttle itself. Was that also the case for 21 ?

2008-06-27 16:08:20

25. Howard Fox

21 its kind of like the team's ability to handle the parking lot after the game...from our Lot K, there is a different exit every game, so you never know where to park your car for easy exit...

2008-06-27 16:13:34

26. DaDoughboy

23.
I'm in Simi as well.., I don't think the train/bus system was planned to benefit anybody north of Burbank.

Or you can sofa-surf at a fellow DT-ers house. ;-)

28. Howard Fox

27 that is a great idea, and I can donate my season tickets for all the night games to the Dodger Dream Foundation

2008-06-27 16:16:41

29. evenatriple

24 As I recall, it was certainly not a standard MTA bus, which would lead me to guess that the Dodgers rented them. It was, I think the ticket was $5, plus the $5 it cost me to park at Union Station. That parking cost is, by the way, a great bargain if you are taking Amtrak to San Diego for the day. Anyhow, my problem coming from the Westside is that it took me far longer to drive to Union Station, park, and then take the shuttle than it would have taken me simply to go directly to DS. I did it just for the experience, and having done it once, I never did it again. However, I live very near the coming terminus of the Expo line, so in theory I can take public transit to the 2011 World Series at DS. You are all entitled to your own views about which is more likely: the MTA finishing the Expo line as promised by the end of 2010, or the Dodgers making the Series in 2011.

2008-06-27 16:17:01

30. bhsportsguy

24 There are probably sound legal reasons why the Dodgers would not want to pick up any costs let alone the general practice that other municipalities provide public transportation and also the fact that the Dodgers are probably one of the higher grossing sales tax providers in the region.

I know he's not popular but there should be lines on what the Dodgers are responsible for and what the City of LA is responsible for and this is one that the Dodgers and the City need to work on but it is clearly a public service, not a Dodger service.

2008-06-27 16:18:19

30 I wrote this even before reading the article so I want to make sure you know this is my opinion.

Random note: Tommy John made his major league debut at age 20, and went 0-2 in six games (three starts). His ERA+ was 164. The next year, he was 2-9, 92 ERA+. That would be his worst ERA+ until he was 41.

But the Reds won't, so there you go.

And as a Reds fan pointed out on another site, they already have a cheaper version of Pierre in Norris Hopper.

2008-06-27 17:22:08

48. natepurcell

You know who is showing a lot of power in the minors so far? Jaime Ortiz. He just hit his 10th homerun of the year in around 180 ABs. He isn't making enough contact yet but he is still fairly young at 19 years old. He could be someone to watch next year.

2008-06-27 17:22:24

49. Vaudeville Villain

Heck yes. I'm not a big Hu fan, though, so take that for what it's worth.

Brett Tomko leads a charmed life. It's amazing somebody can suck for so long, and still be given a job every year.

2008-06-27 17:22:26

50. Eric Enders

It may surprise you to know that Brett Tomko during his career has ranked among the league leaders in 11 different categories.

However, of these 11:
- One is a hitting category (sacrifices).
- Four are playing time categories (games started, innings pitched, batters faced, complete games).
- Five are negative pitching categories (hits allowed, HR allowed, earned runs allowed, losses, wild pitches).

Only one is a positive pitching category. In 2004 he tied for 9th in the NL with one shutout. Woo!

Who may be the next big Dodger prospect you have never heard of? Try this name on for size: Bladimir Franco. He was one of a handful of Dominicans Logan White signed last summer for chump change while other clubs were spending a lot more money on the more-in-demand foreign amateurs. Now Big Bad Blad, a 17-year-old shortstop, is leading the Dominican Summer League in homers with 5. And that is only in 21 games and 73 AB's. When Hanley Ramirez was the same age in the same league, he hit 5 HR's, but that was for the whole season, in 54 games and 197 AB's. Ramirez's line that year was .345/.397/.533, and Franco's right now is .315/.405/.616, so a better walk rate and more power from Franco. But what's the bad news? There has to be bad news, and it is that while Ramirez only had 22 strikeouts in 197 AB's, Franco already has 26 in 73 AB's. In my opinion, Ramirez's far superior contact ability at a young age gave him a solid foundation to build on, and his power obviously developed later. Franco's superior power at the same age is exciting, but a swing-for-the-fences approach combined with a penchant for whiffing could prove to be a fatal flaw as Franco ages, a sign that he is going to be more Joel Guzman that Hanley Ramirez. We'll see what happens.

51 Thanks, very informative. I hope he makes it to the majors, for the jokes if nothing else. ("He's a blad, blad man...")

What was the name of that shortstop we had who was leading the GCL in homers at one point last year? He was a free swinger from the Dominican too.

Answering my own question: Yosanddy Garcia. He's 1-for-13 combined this year between Great Lakes and Ogden.

I don't know what's sadder, that he sat there and babbled into a webcam about Joe Beimel for 7 minutes, or that I watched most of it. (Most, not all.) Probably a tie.

"Yosanddy and Blad" would be an awesome duo to have in the field for LA someday.

Either that or the name of a film screening at your local international film festival.

59. Eric Enders

Projected to 580 plate appearances, Yosanddy Garcia's line last year would have been .252/.338/.488, with 32 homers, 104 RBI, 64 walks and 160 strikeouts.

2008-06-27 17:32:25

60. silverwidow

Blad and Kyle Russell would make an awesome power combo.

61. CanuckDodger

55 -- Yosanddy Garcia only played 2B last year in the GCL, but was signed as a SS a couple years earlier. His 8 homers were two short of the league leader's total. Garcia was 19 and his final line was .252/.338/.488.

Apparently this year Yosanddy lost his double-D's. He's now called Yossandy on Minorleaguebaseball.com.

Did anybody see, at BP, the discussion today about Sabathia possibly being traded? It was in the form of a dialogue between Will Carroll and Kevin Goldstein. When Carroll asked what the Dodgers have that could interest the Indians, Goldstein mentioned the names of LaRoche, Santana, Adkins, Johnson ,and McDonald, but then he added, "All of that said, talking to some people in the game, I got the feeling that the Dodgers are not going to trade young talent this year." That is somewhat reassuring. Anyway, Will Carroll went on record with the opinion that Sabathia and Prince Fielder are "not fat." After reading that, I wouldn't trust Carroll if he said the sky is blue.

That is reassuring. I still don't understand why the Dodgers keep being mentioned regarding Sabathia? Do we need pitching? I must not have gotten the memo about their need for pitching.

I guess they're planning on losing Lowe, and maybe getting rid of Penny? And then I still don't see that as their biggest need, but hrm.

2008-06-27 17:54:31

65. natepurcell

What is more reassuring is that people have stopped asking for the Loneys, Billingsleys of the team, having realized that they are not prospects anymore.

I wouldn't have a problem trading Adkins or players of that ilk.

2008-06-27 17:54:36

66. Eric Enders

I like Sabathia. I like him enough to sign him as a free agent (especially if we finish with a bottom-15 record this year). But not enough to trade Kershaw, Kemp, or whoever for him.

2008-06-27 17:57:37

67. CanuckDodger

65 -- Goldstein didn't say that the Indians wouldn't ASK for our young non-prospects. He was talking about what prospects different teams have that could interest the Indians, in his opinion.

Update from Diamond's blog:

>>Rafael Furcal, Andruw Jones and possibly Nomar Garciaparra are scheduled to begin rehabilitation assignments for Class AAA Las Vegas on Monday. Furcal and Garciaparra could return before the All-Star break, and Jones could soon follow after the break. {that'll be a fun few days in Vegas - ed.}

Hiroki Kuroda and Brad Penny had their scheduled simulations games Saturday scrapped. Both will instead throw bullpen sessions because Penny is still feeling something in his shoulder and Kruoda's neck is still bothering him.

Scott Proctor will be shut down from throwing for 10 days, but the MRI exam he underwent revealed no structural damage in his shoulder.<<

If anyone needed some time off after being overused the previous few years it'd probably be Proctor.

Okay, outta here. Will be catching game late in the archives. Go Dodgers!

My camera had a suffiently wide angle lens to get both Sabathia and Dunn in the same frame.

2008-06-27 18:08:26

72. jasonungar07

If Furcal and Nomar come back where is Nomar gonna play for those 4 days until he gets hurt again?

And I guess that's it, Ethier and DeWitt can't hit lefties?

2008-06-27 18:27:27

73. JoeyP

At some point during the season, Ethier became a platoon player with Pee-Wee. And Pierre became an everyday player.

2008-06-27 18:29:16

74. Alex41592

72 - Well, Ethier really hasn't done anything this season against lefties. OPS of .500. Only one HR, however that HR was against Saunders. I don't know what has happened to Ethier. His whole life he was taught to hit left handed pitching and this season he's been awful. LaRoche should get as many starts as possible. DeWitt has left the door open and now he's in a platoon.

2008-06-27 18:42:30

75. Marty

Yesterday's game is on now. It's not any better re-heated.

2008-06-27 18:42:52

76. Alex41592

Our leadoff hitter hasn't had a walk in three weeks. An OBP of .296 in the leadoff spot. Steiner seems to only remember when Pierre was batting in the second spot where he has an OBP of .512. Hence a 'very solid season'. When in reality he's in the middle of his worst season ever.

Delwyn Young continues to look very good batting left handed. But his starts come against left handers. His defense is average at best. I would actually take Pierre over Young in the field and just deal with the horrible arm.

With that said, I would start Pierre against lefties, Ethier everyday and Young against righties. I believe JoeyP wrote the same thing a week ago. Now, I'm off to the game.

79. overkill94

Arizona about to become a .500 1st place team. Has any division ever finished with all teams under .500? I know the NL West almost did it a few years ago (2005?) when the Padres were 2 over, but I'm guessing that was the closest ever.

2008-06-27 18:55:47

80. Eric Enders

The AL West did in 1994. All the teams were not only under .500, but far under. Of course, they never got to finish the season.

Chan Ho Park's body language specially on breaking pitches doesn't look good... I know he's had back shoulder tightness recently so maybe it's just a matter of his shoulder needing more time to loosen up, veremos.

I just don't get the mind set of upper management having some one like Berroa playing short stop for us, I just don't sorry.

2008-06-27 20:20:00

117. Gagne55

116 I think it has to do with Hu not hitting as he was expected to and everyone else getting hurt and Ramon Martinez not being brought back.

2008-06-27 20:20:10

118. Bluebleeder87

Angel Berroa is a dead end as far as the future goes, like Kershaw I think it would have benefited the Dodgers LONG TERM plans if Hu would have been playing instead of Berroa.
