Perry's 8th-inning Journey

Henry Schulman, Chronicle Staff Writer

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

(09-14) 20:20 PDT -- Steve Perry, the former lead singer for Journey, will be at Dodger Stadium wearing his Giants cap as usual when the team plays there this weekend and he will leave before the eighth inning, as usual, but not to beat the traffic.

Late last season, the Dodgers started playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believin' " before the bottom of the eighth inning every night as a rally song, and Perry leaves before they do.

"I have to," he said. "I don't want to hear it."

Why? Because Perry is a diehard Giants fan who cannot stand the fact that the Dodgers "hijacked it first" and use it to win games.

Perry has friends on the Dodgers. He admitted it was "amazing" the first time he heard the entire stadium singing along with his voice and finds it appropriate the song is used by sports teams. Still, he said, "It tweaks me to know they're using the song as a rally song. I really wish we'd have hijacked it first. I think the song is about hope and power, and it's working for them, damn it."

Perry became a Giants fan in 2002 and became friends with many Chicago White Sox players, including Aaron Rowand, when they played "Don't Stop Believin' " in their clubhouse every night on the way to winning a World Series.

As a co-writer of the song, Perry gets a royalty every time the Dodgers play it, but said, "It's not enough to get me a latte at Starbucks."

OMG, this is worse that Twitter!


Cool news, but I'm afraid that the Dodgers Stadium needs a Loon Defcon 5 this weekend.

"It's not enough to get me a latte at Starbucks."

OMG!! He drinks Starbucks lattes?! ME TOO!! Does he order nonfat or 2% or soy?
Any flavored syrup added? Regular or decaf? GRANDE OR VENTI!!?!?!

omgggggggggg!

(sorry. I'll go back to the latex removal society now... or whatever we're calling it today.)

Yes I can hear the clicks to Stubhub to buy available tickets.......for the game

[treetopovskaya]

mmm... starbucks... iced non-fat caramel macchiato w/ extra caramel! YUM! }=C))

dodgers... pfft!

[Playitloudforme]

Go Dodger BLUE! (sorry...had to). Not that I'm in LA anymore, but still... 31 years of being a Dodger fan.

It's fascinating what people are focusing on. The point of the article was clarifying SP's allegiance to the SF Giants. He's been bashed about that on MR and elsewhere in the past. It's already common knowledge that he attends games.

Ummm.. That would be me! However, in light of this new Revelation, I take it back!

BTW- The Dodgers Suck!

I understood the point of the article. What I didn't know, though, is that SP's allegiance to the Giants was such a serious issue. I can't recall any bashing going on, I must have missed it.
My "focus" went the opposite way because of the endless Twitter/stalking/privacy invasion banter from the past when there were posted too many details that were happening "right then and there". It struck me funny that this article is basically revealing a future time and location. Hence my "worse than Twitter" joke.
I love joking, so I think I'm gonna go have a word with my focus now.

Nothing wrong with your focus. That's what stood out to me as well. A date with destiny.

According to the article, it didn't hit print until Tuesday, the 15th. So I would imagine there was no harm done. Or am I wrong on that one. Maybe it CAME from Twitter? I don't know, that whole twitter thing is just beyond confusing, not to mention scary.

That's how I took it... but ya know... I'm normal.

(but I still need to know, nonfat, 2% or soy?! I need to order my lattes the SAME way as Espeeeeeeee! omggggg!)

(yeah. I'm going to hell. )

[StoneCold]

LOL, they even put in a mugshot so you know what to look for.




Can you say JumboTron?

Quick, someone call MBPL ("Where the hell are ya Perry?!").

The games they are saying SP will be at are this coming weekend in LA.

OMG........paleeze!
Well, if he were going to be there, now he'll have the equivalent of the secret service at his side, I'm sure. That's just wrong on every level. I knew the Giants played the Dodgers in S.F. this past weekend, I thought that's what they were talking about. I didn't focus on the Dodger Stadium part. My loon skills are slipping, I guess.

That's interesting, though, back to back series with the Dodgers!

[Rockindeano]

What I didn't know, though, is that SP's allegiance to the Giants was such a serious issue. I can't recall any bashing going on, I must have missed it.

Well, it's because you have no idea what a sports rivalry is. LA- SF is a huge rivalry. The two cities hate one another. LA steals the sun and smog and also NoCal's water. NoCal gets pissy, and yells down at SoCal. SoCal then has it's citizens draining their pools to ensure more water is coming south. Meanwhile, LoCal(San Diego), is stuck with a baseball team so bad it couldn't win the AAA Pacific coast League, and their fans wear camouflage to the games. LoCal hates SoCal and NoCal despises SoCal, and SoCal doesn't care about LoCal or NoCal but needs NoCal more than it needs LoCal.

Um no. Back to back series have never ever occurred. The Dodgers played Frisco last weekend in NoCal and they currently have the Bucs in town before NoCal invades SoCal this coming weekend.

yeah and then SoCal has 97 year old water mains that break and waste about, ohhhhhh, 1,000,000,000 gallons of water in three hours?

I was in that mess over Labor Day Weekend. Was staying about 500 ft. from the break. and I'm from NoCal.

My post was sar...nevermind. What can I say? I had hopes to get the explanation from you. You started very promising with the "sports rivalry" but after that...what? This madness has nothing to do with baseball, but with the size of SP's pool??

(I kid. I heard something about this LA-SF hate. I don't care, I love LA madly. SF is nice to visit, though.)


Oh yeah and I'm not into baseball at all. I watch football.

That is such a guy thing to do, seriously. Never hear about women getting so pissed off at the other team using a song that they leave the goddamn stadium. Guys are funny sometimes...

That rivalry between those two teams has been going on since both teams were in New York before they moved to California. It's a heated rivalry.

[BlueGin]

LOL, they even put in a mugshot so you know what to look for.




Can you say JumboTron?

Quick, someone call MBPL ("Where the hell are ya Perry?!").

Okay,that comment just cracked me up...leave it to the media

That's the nicest "mugshot" I think I've ever seen BTW...

[Jubilee]

I feel for Stevie, but GAWD this is hilarious. Can you imagine how galling it must be to have the song your most famous for used as a rally song for your favorite team's arch rival? Must feel like he's being taunted (and tormented) especially if the Giants are losing (double ). Just the thought of Perry scrambling for the exit with his fingers in his ears is just cracking me up.... (sorry)

[cyndy!]

Um no. Back to back series have never ever occurred. The Dodgers played Frisco last weekend in NoCal and they currently have the Bucs in town before NoCal invades SoCal this coming weekend.
