Actress Mila Kunis' passion for baseball almost got her ejected from the Los Angeles Dodgers' play-off game against the Philadelphia Phillies last week when her cursing upset the parents of a 10-year-old boy.

Kunis, a Dodgers fan, was so upset by the efforts of her team, who were knocked out of baseball's post-season by the Phillies, she couldn't hold her tongue.

And she had some apologising to do when one family, sitting within earshot of her, were offended by her bad language.

The actress explains, "The kid turns around and his parents turn around and I was like, 'I'm so sorry, but come on.'

"They were like, 'Ok, weirdo.'"

Kunis insists cool Dodgers fans could learn a lot from trash-talking New York Yankees supporters: "It's not necessarily that I'm for the Yankees... but the fans are so amazing... I feel at home, they're my people.

"Everybody at Dodgers Stadium... was on their BlackBerries.

Dodgers fans have long been known for their arrive-late-and-leave-early insouciance. Lately, they have struggled to shake a newer reputation for intemperance.

Many say it's largely undeserved, and there is no disputing that security at the stadium has been up and arrests down. But even as they celebrate this season's trip to the National League Championship Series -- an unexpected run that could end with tonight's Game 5 at the stadium -- the Dodgers faithful remain blue over a perceived rise in booze-fueled hooliganism, a problem that team spokesman Charles Steinberg conceded "is not solved."

"It is a high priority," Steinberg said Tuesday. "It breaks your heart when the smallest of numbers seem to ruin it for some people."

He added Dodgers owners Frank and Jamie McCourt are "focused" on ridding the stands of trouble-makers.

"It's a family ownership and they want a family environment," Steinberg said. "You don't throw your hands in the air, and say, 'Oh well?' "

At Monday's game, the Dodgers security staff had its hands full, especially in the late innings, as blood-alcohol levels climbed. Much of the unwanted action was at the "hot corners" -- the stands near the foul poles -- and in the outfield pavilions.

"People are rowdy," said Jose Sanchez, 35, of Burbank, who had just witnessed a scuffle between two men; both were ejected. "There are no limits to what they can say or do."

A few rows away, Steve Goss, 52, said: "I saw two fights already because people were wearing red."

The Buena Park resident pointed at a friend wearing a Phillies shirt. "I've got to stay with him to make sure he's OK," Goss said. "It's a small minority, but I've noticed it's gotten nastier."

Good call. I remember having a sick feeling about that in July
