Dodger Stadium is loud in October, and not because the public address system is set to release sound at unreasonably high volumes. Whatever outsiders say about the spectators here showing up late and departing early, these fans can unleash thunderous howls that can be heard on the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River. In their most raucous moments, they make this place shake, literally.
About the only time the Dodgers offered the fans an opportunity to cheer was when they ran onto to the field for pregame introductions.
Their offense was limited to five hits over nine particularly painful-to-watch innings in a 4-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series.
