The House of Pain is & will always be the Rally Monkey theme song. Twins(‘02), Giants(‘02) & Yankees(‘02, ‘06, ‘09) fans should know it & fear it. Oh and we welcome Red Sox Nation to the Fear the Monkey Club.Yankees closer Mariano Rivera spits on a baseball.
Also, of note, Angels Stadium is still pumpin’ out the House Of Pain jams.

Curse of the Fall Classic Blog?
I hope not. He blew past the Red Sux Aybar Missed Bunt Curse of 2008. Hopefully he can come through with a clutch game winning play a little later on. So far the Yankees scored on unimpressive lucky doinks. A Torii Hunter slam jam will make up for that.Seconds after a photo of Erick Aybar goes up on the Tumblr, he lets a pop fly fall and lets in a run.

Philly & Colorado better get ready to hear the sandstorm come this Thursday.
Angels Win Game 2 from section 507 of Angel Stadium. It’s a bummer that the Halo on the Big A isn’t working.
“Colby Rasmus Fire Burning In The Outfield” by Colby Rasmus Girl
I hope Fox contracts Colby Rasmus Girl to pen a song for the entire Cardinal line up or at least a sideline reporter.
While the original version of Colby Fire Burning in the Outfield above is pure internet awkwardness gold, the remix is pretty sweet in its own right. Someone got themselves the T Pain Autotuner…
Manny Bobble Head Day
The craziest thing happened on Manny Bobble Head Day. The Dodgers played the Pirates and once again Manny did not start the game on a day when 50,000 bobble heads with his likeness were passed out. This time he didn’t even pinch hit. But this wasn’t the crazy part.
The crazy part went down in the parking lot after the game. It wasn’t a drunken fight or a spontaneous dance party… no… it was total chaos erupting as one of the LA Dodgers players cars got stuck in the extremely slow moving mass exodus out of the Elysian Parkway exit. A big pearl white extra cab truck, containing who I assume was Manny Ramirez, was mobbed by not only the crowds walking to their cars but also fans who put their cars in park and ran through traffic to chase the car down.
That’s hundreds of cars in line to get out of the stadium… all of the sudden put in park, car doors swung open in the middle of traffic and now pedestrians running through moving cars holding their bobble heads to try to get an autograph from Manny. Because he didn’t play I assume he got out of the locker earlier than the other players and thus was exiting when all the fans were exiting. The craziest thing was that whoever it was was actually signing the bobble head boxes for fans. The entire ride from the player parking lot out to Elysian Parkway and down to the freeway they had a mob of fans surrounding their car holding up gear to sign.
Craziest thing I ever saw at Dodger Stadium. It was even crazier than the blow up doll being used like a beach ball. Crazier than the woman screaming and dragging her completely limp, drunk boyfriend across the parking lot. Crazier than any fight I’ve seen break out in the reserve level or the pavillion. Even more crazy than the time I saw an entire Reserve Level section down the right field line empty their seats and stand in the isles except for two fans of the opposing team sitting directly in the center of the section… then in unison the Dodgers fans pummeled the two seated fans with full beers, sodas, and food… for a good minute or two this went on until security escorted the fans out and people were still throwing stuff at them as security escorted them.
Have you seen anything crazier at Dodger Stadium?
“ Every time I see Orlando Hudson I’m reminded of the Sammy Davis song The Candy Man. He’s such a delight to be around.
