Villaraigosa Tries To Spin Petey Carroll Getting Booed At Dodger Stadium

by Nestor on Jul 22, 2009 8:56 PM PDT in News

It looks like Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is trying hard to spin the bad night for Pete Carroll (and for him I guess) when they were booed at the Dodger stadium by telling his tweeter followers how great it was to show up with Petey at Chave Ravine. He linked to Petey's fanblog on his tweeter account:

villaraigosaNice post on last night's Dodger event with @ABetterLA's Coach Carroll: http://bit.ly/ScpMY

All of this nothing short of cute spin from Villargosa. As ydg2008 reports in the comment thread (emphasis added):

I was at the game, and when he was first shown on screen and presented with a check (which he will likely use to pay off one of his thugs, I mean athletes) there was a noticeable mix of boos and cheers. I was booing Cheaty Peety, and was mad at Villaretardo for not punching him in the gut. Anyhow, the second time he was shown on the big screen, he was the only one on screen and what happened next was simply delightful. The cheers came first, followed by a much louder wave of boos. These boos were loud enough to easily drown out the cheers from the bandwagon $c fanbase at the Ravine. It was something I truly didn’t see coming, but, it was great.

So don't let them spin out of this nonsense by retweeting directly to Mayor the real story. Here is what you can do. If you are on tweeter, please retweet this:

RT @BruinNation @villaraigosa uh nice try spinning Mayor but Pete Carroll was booed at the Chavez Ravine: http://bit.ly/sQHMG

Make sure to let him know that Petey, the Giant fan got what he deserved at the Chavez Ravine.

GO BRUINS.

I was right behind Cheaty Petey.

Boy was it a good laughing time when I got to shake his hand and say Go Bruins =).

Kirk Herbstreit was there as well, getting in on the action on-field before the game, talking with Torre and Petey.
Petey even got to stand right next to Torre in front of the dugout during the National Anthem…but I was again satisfied after he was later boo’d.

Kirk walked by and I said hey kirk, and he spotted my brother’s UCLA shirt and said, “Hey, Bruins fans!” and I replied “love the show” (cause I do even though they may be tools meh haha…I get up early each saturday for this reason during the season) and that was exciting haha.

Did you tell Kirk

that he won the Golden Knee-Pads award in broadcasting for the “Best On-air Fellating of an Entire Football Team?”

I forget which game it was but I remember him saying of Mark Sanchez “a man doesn’t deserve to look that good.” My mouth was agape when I heard that one. AGAPE. The only thing I could say was “WTF.”

Anyhow, Petey got booed. Not to make generalizations about Dodger fans or people who like Antonio, but isn’t there a lot of Hispanic Dodger fans that usually go to the games? Aren’t they still behind Antonio?

For whatever reason, I just KNOW Petey got booed. I had to smile when I heard about it. :)

Troy will fall.

Golden Knee Pads

That sums it up right there.

PopnFried, Mr. BB used to watch the show and I told him I couldn’t take it anymore because of his constant fellating of u$c*. I keep my home free of u$c* fellating (easier to do in Alabama than LA).

That's a good one BG2K

I can’t stand to watch either. My dad is pro-u$c* since, I believe the sixties, and even he did a double-take when he heard that comment. Watching that game was difficult because he was so unapologetic about it. No objectivity whatsoever.

Now when I hear Kirk’s name, it makes me laugh: Kirk Herbstreit = Golden Knee-pads

Troy will fall.

Villaregosa is the idiot

that thinks my tax dollars should be used to pay for the public celebration of a pedophile’s life.

Dude...

you live in LA…did you expect anything else? We’re talking people who know what Tori Spelling wore yesterday but don’t know the name of our vice president.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

You're being a bit rough, Tasser

I’m not sure what that guy’s name is any more than anyone else, but he had by far the most dreadful shoes on the other day. Tori’s shoes were fabulous. (Alas, if you look above Tori’s shoe level, you are forced against your will to think of Mr. Ed.)

I guess Im a dreamer

I still expect good government.

Or you think mayors shouldn't constantly date news reporters

Yep, I’m a dreamer too.

I expected it too

but we live in a state that has now elected two actors to be governors…and they wonder why CA is going to the toilet. Not that the state is governable anyway.

As for Tori Spelling, I speak from experience when I say she is a Class I snooty bitch. There, I said it.

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

But her shoes are so fabulous

OMG her shoes are like , you know, …. (Sorry, I can’t continue in the manner of a teenage girl.)

Actually, I think you did complete the "tenage girl" sentence.

Constant Celebrity Worship

One of the few things I don’t miss about LA.

I never liked Villarigosa and I wish somehow we could disown him, but every large family has a few people they aren’t so proud of, though I give him credit for a great burn he have u$c* in a commencement speech he gave at UCLA in 2006 (it’s here somewhere on BN).

And why was he at a baseball game with Cheety anyway? I understand he has to be neutral (or at least appear to be) but it’s another thing to be sitting next to him at a Dodger game.

Hmmm...

Did anyone see an envelope in the Mayor’s jacket? Something bulging, with a U$C letterhead maybe?

But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.

Well...

I never liked his music and never could understand why so many people outside the U.S. like it. Did you know that “Thriller” is only the second best-selling album in the U.S. but is first around the world? It’s like Thriller is first with 150 million copies sold and the next album is a hundred million less. That’s crazy.

I hate star worship. I believe those people put their kids in there knowing what he was like. They deserve a little blame. That’ s saying that he was a pedophile. Although, I’m inclined to believe it, I still have to say that he was never convicted of it.

Lastly, I think that he was taxed lot more than his funeral costs. It also brought in a lot of tax dollars. So, best case, the city wouldn’t have to pay for it but I’m not fuming because I know he and his estate now are going to generate more revenue.

Troy will fall.
