A backdrop to the Marlins beating the Padres, 6-4, on Friday night was the shooting of a scene for the upcoming movie “Marley & Me,” starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson.

They shot scenes in the stands:

They shot scenes on the field:

Quoting again:

Players were leaving and entering the field but momentarily stopped as the two actors finally grabbed the dog and were whisked away. The segment lasted about a minute and didn’t interrupt the game.

Yes! Yes, it did! I was at a movie and a baseball game broke out!

As you already know, this isn’t the first time this has happened. “Fever Pitch” already embarrassed the Boston Red Sox with its jaunts through the field in the regular season and then this:

Which just goes on to prove the point: Jeffrey Loria is not just a shameless hussy, he’s a completely unoriginal shameless hussy.

Look, it’s just baseball. I get that. It’s not the sacred ground that will cause Scooby-Doo and his friends to run into gh-gh-gh-gh-ghosts! when it’s violated. But isn’t it enough that it’s baseball? Do we need fatass cheerleaders or DJs, Loria?

When the Japanese create incessant noise or even have cheerleaders, it seems to be in celebration of the game. When Jeffrey Loria does it, it seems to be in apology for having to sit through the game. To which I humbly reply: jam it up your ass, sir. Jam it until it tickles your spleen.
