This episode was unfortunately a miss.

I liked the interactions with Walter, Leo and Isabel.

And damn, Mercedes Masohn (Isabel) is fucking hot

The actual story was kind of stupid. Really? A pair of fucking socks stolen to help throw off the pitcher and throw a game for a gambling debt by the catcher.

I know most of this show is filmed in Florida, but multiple scenes in here were shot in LA. The baseball stadium was Dodger Stadium and the end scene with Walter and Isabel talking at the game was actually shot on the 20th Century FOX lot. That stairway is actually a parking garage there (I used to work there, so that's how I recognize it)

I'm not sure where they film in Florida, but it's probably much easier to rent Dodger Stadium for filming than Dolphins Stadium, especially in the fall and winter when Football is going. It wouldn't be an issue next year with the Marlins opening their own ballpark.

But it is kind of a curse those of us who grew up and live in So Cal have...we always recognize our backyard. I saw a beer commercial recently that had a bunch of Tampa Bay Bucs fans tailgaiting in a parking lot. The parking lot was Angel Stadium of Anaheim. I know that stadium like the back of my hand and notice it every time its used.

At least they tried to cover up Dodger Stadium a bit with CGI in the bleachers, but yeah, it's not difficult to pick it out.
