I love Tommy Lasorda

He had the nuts to sing the Dodgers' version of "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" tonight at Wrigley Field as the Dodgers beat the snot out of the Cubbies....

You see, the lyrics of this particular version include "Root Root Root for the Dodgers".....

Too bad I can't find a link to the video....

My personal favorite version of the song, goes a little like this:

Take me out to the ballgame
Take me out to the crowd
Buy me some peanuts and Dodger Dogs
I don't care if I never come back

'Cause it's root, root, root for the Dodgers
If they don't win it's 'cause they SUCK
And it's 1, 2, 3 strikes you're out at the old ball game!

Yeah, I know, it's rhyme-challenged, but it sounds damn good at top volume in chorus from the upper deck at Chavez Ravine.....

s'OK. Simple rhymes can be too much to expect from Dodger fans, so really I won't hold it against you.

Although I will admit, the Dodger Dog beats the snot out of anything at Pac Bell Park. Even them garlic fries...

Go Giants,
