Man, the Dodgers stink!
Well, not really. Los Angeles is in first in the NL West after all, but it is fun to say that, and it is applicable as of Friday.
Prior to a Dodgers matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals at Dodger Stadium, a skunk was found camping out under the photographer’s stand of the visitors dugout.
FOX Sports Midwest reporter Jim Hayes live-tweeted the commotion that followed the discovery of the potentially stinky creature.

A “skunk whisperer” was called to the scene.

As of the start of the game, stadium officials weren’t quite sure where the skunk had migrated to. The watch is on to see if the “stinky little friend” will make his presence known either to the Cardinals or to the home team or their fans.
