Asleep in the dugout

LA Daily News writer took a little nap in the Dodgers dugout and the team PR dude decided to tell the world.

Now, I'll admit to probably nodding off before a game when I'm really tired (or bored) too. But this can't be good form from the Dodgers, can it?

And, uhh, apologies to the writer and if I've D_B'd this topic.

That's my reaction whenever I watch a baseball game.

The blog entry has been taken down from the Dodgers' site, so I can't fully judge the context, but it seems like it's fairly innocuous. If that's the only time you get caught snoozing in a 162-game slog, God bless you.

Geez, give the guy a break. He's at Shea. He's lucky he didn't lapse into a coma.

I thought this thread was about Felipe Alou.

 

[fanboy]

Strange, I thought it was about Frank Robinson.

I wouldn't exactly say the Dodgers have had a manager show more enthusiasm than a bowling ball since the new millenium.

Oh, man. Falling asleep in public.

Good thing no one had duct tape.

Sadly, one of my friends used to date that guy. You snooze, you lose. :D

Hey, at least he can prove he was in the ballpark...

Wonder if they put his hand in warm water. Now THAT would be a funny picture.

Anyone notice the short guy in the front looking at Little's crotch?

Yeah, it's Ken Gurnick of MLB.com

I'd be more embarrassed if I were caught doing that than sleeping in the dugout.

Ken Gurnick (do they still call him Mouse?) survived a decade of Lasorda...not much can hurt a guy after that.

i think the perspective of the picture is a little skewed.

Is the guy in the background hiding his face to keep from laughing? The front guy and woman are clearly looking at the camera.

First, you put his hand in warm water, and then you pee on him.

 

[TheSportsPredictor]

Thank god that guy doesn't sleep naked.

Great responses here. But the guy looking at Little's doodle? Gold, Jerry, gold!
