Dining: We don't have In-N-Out burgers, but some of our fast food accomplishes the same thing. You really ought to try the authentic versions of cheesesteaks, hoagies, water ice, roast pork sandwiches and scrapple, the latter comprising those parts of a pig that even Tommy Lasorda wouldn't eat.
Dressing: Don't wear Dodger paraphernalia to Citizens Bank Park. Blend in. Wear a Phillies jersey like the 45,000 other lemmings.
TV viewing: You'll probably get here in time to watch the Eagles game and Eagles Post Game Live, starring our state's chief executive, Ed Rendell. You think your governor has a weakness for cameras?
A growing trend
Despite their laid-back reputation, Dodgers fans seem to be getting more feisty - either that or the traffic has gotten to them at last.
In Games 1 and 2, they spontaneously and frequently erupted into chants of "Phillies Suck! Phillies Suck!" even when Chase Utley's arm wasn't confirming their opinion.
Their booing, particularly toward Shane Victorino, was pretty darn good. Not yet up to Philly standards, of course, but, hey, it wasn't that long ago that Dodger fans required wake-up calls.
Still, in the expensive, star-filled sections behind home plate, there was an incredible volume of texting going on, even when the Dodgers, with considerable aid from the home-plate umpire and the Phillies' bullpen, were staging their winning rally on Friday.
Sparkling uniforms
There are no home uniforms in sports as luminous as the Dodgers' iconic outfits. They're as white as Larry Brown in February.
Pleasant flight
The best part about flying cross-country yesterday - aside from the fact that Eagles fans were headed in the opposite direction - was the silence.
No TVs. No cell phones. None of Dodger Stadium's Gitmo-tested sound system.
