The Dodgers beat the Phillies 7-2 Sunday during Game 3 of the NLCS and the Militant was there (of course). Thanks in part to the hometown crowd and the great-at-home Hiroki Kuroda pitching, all the Dodgers really needed was the bottom of the 1st inning. Not being a series clincher like the last game here, the crowd was more like a normal Stadium crowd, albeit with more expensive tickets. Also, unlike the last series, the opposing team's fans stuck out like a sore thumb. And then a near-fight broke out. Enough words, here's the pics. GO DODGERS!
The lineups.

The dude who sat in front of the Militant said to his friends,"Dude, I'm just trippin' how it says "NLCS" on the field. How awesome is that?!?"
A couple fans wave signs referencing the Dodgers' unofficial theme song for this season. And yes, they got on the Diamondvision screen when the song got played.
A member of the media informs Russell Martin that the Phillies have declared today, "Hit Russell Martin with the Ball Day."
All together now: "Awwwwwwwwwwwww!"
'Nuff said.
