Ok, I was finally able to get my pictures onto the computer. These were pictures I took at Friday's game versus the Brewers. They are from a cameraphone, so the quality isn't great. I didn't think to bring a camera, but once I got to the seats, I knew I had to take some pictures. Here are some of the better ones I took:
The Dodger on-deck circle was about 10 feet away, so I was able to get some shots of players warming up. This is Matt Kemp:
Here's Manny warming up, right before delivering a base hit to drive in a run:
Here's Nomar, he got really close to the audience, he was right up by the fence:
I tried about seven times to take a picture of James Loney making contact with the ball, and this was as close as I got:
I tried taking a shot of Jonathan Broxton throwing a pitch, as well. I got a little closer:
Post-game on field celebration:
You know those seats you see behind the plate during the game. This is a picture from those seats:
Anyway, it was a pretty awesome experience. I'm pretty sure you need to know somebody to get those seats, but if you can find a way in, please do it. Oh, and the best part: free food! Boo-ya!
The Dodgers win in walk-off fashion to take the series from the Brewers and move back into a first place tie.
Joe Beimel got the win, he's 4-0. Carlos Villanueva took the loss, he's 4-6.
Clayton Kershaw made a good start for the Dodgers. He went six innings, giving up just one run on eight hits and a walk. Actually, he gave up the one run on just one hit, a solo homerun to Mike Cameron. He also struck out six batters. He issue, however, was pitch count. By the time he came out of the game after the 6th inning, he had made 96 pitches. Jason Johnson relieved Kershaw, and pitched a scoreless two innings. He got an out in the 9th before allowing a runner on base. Chan Ho Park came in, then gave up four unearned runs on a series of errors, singles, and a two-run homerun. Joe Beimel came in, threw one pitch, and got a groundout. He was the pitcher of record when the Dodgers won the game in the 9th.
A pretty good day for the Dodgers offensively. They collected 14 hits in the game. Matt Kemp went 2-5, with a homerun, a RBI, and two runs scored. Manny Ramírez went 2-4, with a homerun, three RBIs, and a run scored. 
The best offensive performance of the game went to Andre Ethier though. Ethier went 3-5, with a double, two homeruns (including a walk-off two run shot), three RBIs, and three runs scored.
The Diamondbacks lost, so with the win, the Dodgers moved back into a tie for first place in the NL West. They also moved back to four games over .500 at 64-60. Tomorrow is an off-day for the Dodgers. They'll start a three game series with the Rockies at home on Tuesday, starting at 7:10 L.A. time.
Also: Matt Kemp's homerun was a leadoff homerun, coming on the first pitch he saw... Matt Kemp's homerun was his 15th, which would be good for sole possession of first place on the team, if not for Andre Ethier's two homeruns. That brings Ethier's total to 15 as well and so they will share the title... Ethier's walk-off hit was his second walk-off hit this week (it was also the Dodgers' second walk-off homerun this week)... All three Dodger outfielders hit a homerun in the game.
Opinion: Another good win for the Dodgers, good to see them win two series against some of the better non-NL West teams... It's amazing to me that Andre Ethier can be leading, or at least in second place on the team for homeruns and still find himself in a platoon with Juan Pierre. Hopefully, this will end that platoon. Matt Kemp has more than enough speed at the top of the lineup that we don't need Juan Pierre solely for speed purposes... 
Is it just me, or is our bullpen taking weekends off? They blew two games last Saturday and Sunday, and did it again this week. Today, it wasn't nearly as bad. They allowed the Brewers to tie the game, but we luckily came out on top. This could end up an issue... Mark Sweeney came in to pinch hit in the 6th inning and struck out. He's now 9-73 (.123 batting average). To be fair, I will lay off him if he can get a tenth hit by his 75th at-bat. That seems like a nice round number. It is by no means a quality number, but it would be nice to at least seem him get double digit hits this year. To compare, Matt Kemp has 12 hits in the last week. Though, again, in fairness, Kemp's at-bats aren't as "professional" as Sweeney's...
The Dodgers rallied late to tie the score, but give up the lead in extra innings and are unable to come back a second time.
Salomón Torres got the win, he's 6-3. Jonathan Broxton took the loss, he's 3-4. David Riske picked up his 2nd save.
Derek Lowe made a quality start for the Dodgers. He went seven innings, giving up just one run on eight hits, while striking out three and collecting 13 groundballs. The issue for the Dodgers, however, turned out to be the bullpen. Hong-Chih Kuo gave up a two-run homerun in the 8th inning to give the Brewers a 3-2 lead, and after the Dodgers tied the score in the 9th inning, Jonathan Broxton gave up a run in the 10th. In between the two, though, Chan Ho Park pitched a perfect 9th, striking out two.
Not too much offensively (though there were some forces working against them, more on that in a little) for the Dodgers. Matt Kemp went 2-5 with a double and a run scored. Andre Ethier went 2-4, with a walk, a homerun, 2 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. Manny Ramírez went 1-3, with a walk and a RBI, but struck out with runners on 1st and 2nd in the 10th to end the game. Other than that, a few scattered hits and walks, but not amounting to much.
Arizona won today, so with the Dodger loss, they'll fall to one game back in the NL West race. The rubber match is at 1:10 L.A. time tomorrow.
Also: Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier both had outfield assists today, both nailing runners at 2nd... Eric Gagne, in his return to Dodger Stadium as a Brewer, pitched a scoreless 8th inning.
Opinion: Tough loss for the Dodgers, especially with the Arizona win, so we fall back into a place we've been a lot recently, one game back. I feel like we are living and dying by our bullpen this last week and a half. Since they blew two games last weekend against the Giants, they've been excellent during the week. They've kept us in games and kept the other teams scoreless. Now, however, we reach the weekend, and find ourselves losing due to the bullpen again. Though that's not the main problem. The bullpen's failure aside, we almost seemed destined to lose this game. 
The Brewers made a slew of amazing defensive plays to take away hits from Dodgers, including Gabe Kapler, Milwaukee's left fielder, climbing into the stands down the left field line and taking away a homerun from Russell Martin. That run, of course, would have provided the extra run the Dodgers needed to avoid going into extra innings. Then, there was the 10th inning baserunning blunder. Andre Ethier, with Matt Kemp on 1st, hit a ball that missed leaving the park by less than a foot out in center field. It looked as though it might be caught (and with out luck on the night, I'm surprised it wasn't), so Matt Kemp headed back to 1st to tag up. The ball, however, was just missed and bounced off the wall. Kemp at the time though, was standing on first, and so was only able to advance to 2nd before the ball could be brought back in. David Riske was able to record the next two outs, and the Dodgers were shut down. It was an unfortunate loss, on a day when not much seemed to go our way. The true test will be tomorrow, when we'll see if the Dodgers can bounce back from such a tough game.
The Dodgers continue their winning ways, and collect their fifth win in a row to take the first game of this weekend series.
Chad Billingsley picked up the win, he's 12-9. Manny Parra took the loss, he's 9-6. Jonathan Broxton picked up his 9th save.
Chad Billingsley pitched a solid game, going seven innings, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks, while striking out five. A combination of relievers Ramon Troncoso, Joe Beimel, and Jonathan Broxton kept the final two innings scoreless.
The Dodgers had a good day offensively. Each position player in the starting lineup collected a hit. 
Casey Blake went 3-4 with a double, a homerun (his 4th as a Dodger), two RBIs, and a run scored. Jeff Kent went 3-4 with an RBI. Russell Martin went 1-4, scoring twice, and collecting a RBI on a solo homerun in the 8th inning, his 11th on the year.
The Arizona Diamondbacks also won today, so the Dodgers will hold on to the tie with them for first in the NL West race. The Dodgers also moved to 63-59, four games over .500. They'll try to keep up their winning ways tomorrow at 7:10 L.A. time.
Also: Chad Billingsley's win today was his 12th on the season, good for first place on the team... Jonathan Broxton had an at-bat in the 9th inning (his third of the year) and drew a walk.
Opinion: It was a good game for the Dodgers, but I'm not going to talk about that. Rather, I'd like to talk a little bit about my experience at the game. Through some connections, I was able to sit in the Dugout Club seats behind homeplate. My seat was three rows behind the big screen that blocks foul balls on the right. It was a lot of fun, and something I'll have to post about later. I took a bunch of pictures, as well, so those'll be in there once I can upload the pictures to my computer... Also, a couple of pretty cool moments in the game that the crowd got into both before the beginning of the 9th inning. Some guy asked some girl to marry him, she said yes, kisses and hugs, all that good love stuff, set to the applause of 44,000 Dodger fans. 
Then, the JumboTron showed the highlight of Michael Phelps representing our country, chasing history, and winning a very close race to collect his 7th gold medal. Lots of cheering and a big "U.S.A.!" chant. It was a pretty cool atmosphere that carried into the 9th, seeing Jonathan Broxton strike out two and get Jason Kendall to fly out and end the game. Cue the music: "I Love L.A."...
