Greetings from LA

Walking into Dodger Stadium it is hard to believe this place is as old as Shea. It says a lot about privately owned vs. publicly owned. If it’s yours you’re going to take care of it.
I’ve never been a big LA guy, although I confess I enjoyed seeing Mandy Moore last year. Like the mango flavored iced tea in the press box, too.
Dodger Dogs, by the way, are tremendously overrated. Cold and with stale buns. I expect more from an elite franchise such as the Dodgers.
Speaking of expecting more, what in the hell was going on with the Soprano’s last night? Kind of like calling a game a tie in the ninth.

I’m not sure if CitiField will be publicly or privately owned (a combination, perhaps?), but even if it is 100% publicly owned, I think Wilpon will take care of it. He’s probably been dreaming about building a new park for 27 years.
My one trip to Dodger Stadium was notable for two things…
1. Rey Ordonez broke his wrist before we could even get through the horrendous traffic to get into the parking lot (heard it on the radio in the car.)
2. The Dodger Dogs were incredibly disappointing.
Oh, and the Mets lost. Nice park though.
I believe there was a foreshadowing reference—which was included in last week’s flashback—from Tony’s boat ride on the lake with Bobby in the first episode of this final season. During their conversation on the boat, Bobby suggested that when you die, everything turns black suddenly—which is pretty much what happened last night in the diner.
I especially liked the cat with the Moltisanti fixation.
Agree with you on the Dodger Dogs, they were too small and only made me hungry for some more overpriced food. That being said, my visit to Dodger Stadium, especially for the view from high above the field for only five dollars.
Benny thats what a lot of people are saying but no ones sure. Its basically whatever you want to believe. To me I think you would have at least heard a gunshot go off first then the black but I dunno. It couldve just been there lives are going to go on but we the audience will not be around to see it anymore. Its whatever you want to make of it.
I’d like to know the viewing demographics for the Soprano’s – does anyone have those figures? I’ve got a bet going that many more men watched this program than women.
The guy at the counter at the diner was apparently Phil Leotardo’s nephew.
There’s also this thing about the door chimes: Supposedly, when everyone else walks into the diner, the door chimes and we hear that chime from Tony’s point of view or perspective. When Meadow walks in, there are no chimes.
I dont think that was Phils nephew. I heard that was a rumor but if you read the credits it only labels him as guy at counter. Plus if it was a true hit, why wouldnt the guy just go right at him and shoot him like all the other hits?
