Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz was on hand at Dodger Stadium last night to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game. Pete posed with Dodgers catcher Brad Ausmus and Los Angeles Clippers’ rookie forward Blake Griffin (the first overall selection in this year’s NBA Draft) and managed to get the ball over home plate … here are a few pics:

Pete chilled out in the Dugout Club seats for the game with some of his peeps, including Panic! at the Disco lead singer Brendon Urie. Unfortch, Petey did not bring the Dodgers good luck as they lost their game against the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1. Ah well … I suppose all the blame cannot be placed on the little man who threw out the ceremonial first pitch, right? Better luck next time, Dodgers.

Jake Gyllenhaal was in the hiz at Dodger Stadium last night to root for the LA Dodgers in their game against the Cincinnati Reds. I understand that Jakey poo sat in the posh Dugout Club seats during the sold out 56,000 capacity Manny RamírezBobble-Head Night … behold:

And what a night it was for Manny Ramírez … homeboy hit a 6th inning grand slam home-run that put the Dodgers over the top and led to their 6-2 victory over Cincinnati:

Manny Ramirez hit a tie-breaking pinch-hit grand slam in the sixth inning on his bobblehead night Wednesday, sending the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-2 victory over Cincinnati, their 12th consecutive at home against the Reds. Ramirez was kept out of the starting lineup for precautionary reasons with a sore left hand after being hit by a pitch a night earlier. Fans at the sold-out game chanted “Manny! Manny!” as they saw him in the dugout putting on his batting helmet. Ramirez sent the first pitch from reliever Nick Masset into the “Mannywood” section of lower left field seats for his 21st career grand slam, giving Los Angeles a 6-2 lead and putting the crowd into a frenzy. Teammates shoved Ramirez onto the top step of the dugout, where he waved his cap to acknowledge a standing ovation for his 11th homer of the season and his first career pinch-hit homer. It was Ramirez’s first homer into the “Mannywood” section, which was resurrected after his 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s drug rules ended on July 3. Ramirez’s electrifying moment was the only souvenir for 6,000 fans who went home without a bobblehead, which were limited to the first 50,000.

Damn … what a fun night!! Not only were attendees of last night’s game able to enjoy Jake Gyllenhaal’s presense at the game but they also got to bear witness to a Manny grand slam! AND, 50,000 of them got to take home a bobble-head! FUN!! I need to get my ass back to Dodger Stadium very soon … you never know when another fun night like last night might take place.

Mario Lopez, ex-Saved By the Bell star and current host of Extra! TV, was on hand at Dodgers Stadium last night to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Dodgers game against the New York Mets. Not only did Mario get to hit a few balls and throw the first pitch but he was also COACHED by legendary Baseball Hall of Famer Tommy Lasorta! Here are a few pics from last night’s game:

The Dodgers went on to win last night’s game in extra innings with a score of 3-2. The really cool thing about going to Dodgers games (outside the fun food and the exciting play) is the chance to see celebs on the mound before games to throw out the first pitch. I understand that Matthew McConaughey will be on hand to throw out the first pitch at tomorrow night’s game. I am very much looking forward to the coming Summer (when David and I will stay in LA for the entire time) so that we can attend more Dodgers games. It’s a shame I missed seeing Mario in person … he is lookin’ pret-ty good in that Dodgers uniform.

Last night David and I met up with Darion and we all made our way out to Dodger Stadium for the LA game vs. the San Diego Padres. I got to attend my first Dodgers game a couple of years ago when Mike graciously scored tix for a bunch of us (some of you may recall we had a great time) so it was time to go back for another game. Neither Darion nor David had seen a Dodgers game so … away we went. It turns out that Randy Jackson was on hand to throw out the first pitch and actor Christian Slater (who I ran into at the Star Trek premiere on Thursday night) was in the hiz for the game as well:

We had an absolute blast. I love going to Dodgers games … while my heart belongs to the Detroit Tigers, I’ve adopted the Dodgers as my second team to root for. Here are a few of the pics that we snapped last night:

The junk food was awesome and the game turned out to be very exciting. We got an extra inning and the Dodgers ended up pulling out the win in very exciting fashion at the last minute. I had never seen Darion and David so excited in my life. Twas really very fun. Sarah was talking about all of going to a Detroit Tigers home game when we are there in few weeks so that might be our next game.

Tonight, David and I are meeting up with Steph and Alek (who we haven’t seen in AGES) for dinner and a movie. I miss those guys so much … it’ll be great to see them again :)

Snoop Doggie Dogg was on hand at Dodgers Stadium this past Thursday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of the Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies baseball game. Here are a few pics of Snoop on the field doing a bit of warming up before throwing out the first pitch:

The last pic shows Snoop posing with Dodger first baseman James Loney, who caught Snoop’s first pitch Thursday night. Methinks that Snoop may have provided a bit of extra luck as well, the Dodgers went on to defeat the Rockies by a score of 3 to 1. Snoop Dogg is a longtime LA sports fan so it’s always great seeing him all dolled up in the colors of various LA sports teams. As far as Dodger Doggs go, Snoop is the shizzle.
