Ben Platt of Dodgers.com reports that starting Tuesday, the Dodgers are opening the gates at 5:10 p.m. so that fans can attend batting practice. I was under the impression that this was long the case, but apparently not. Oh that I had the time to attend - but good for those of you who can.
Platt also discusses how much trouble Dodgers.com has had with rude and profane posters. Obviously, Dodger Thoughts gets a fingernail's worth of the traffic that the official Dodger site gets, but let me say how happy I am that on this site's busiest weekend ever, personal attacks and tempers and profanity remained 99 percent in check - and that when someone did go a little overboard, everyone was calm enough to dial it back on their own. Once again, you prove to be some of the finest people around. Thanks.
