Break It Down

My amigo Ben asked me to break down my experience. Here is what I wrote:

1. Packed, one of those rare days where the game was sold out and everyone actually showed up.

2. Food lines were long and slow, so apparently the concessions staff, much like the Cubs, did not up their game for the playoffs.

3. The Dodgers had some really good video packages for between innings. This 50th anniversary thing has made them step up their game.

4. I know this was a playoff game and all but I think Don Newcombe will show up for any Dodger related event anywhere.

5. Kudos to any Cubs fan thought bought seats in the cheaper sections. That was a dangerous place to be. Probably not to different from walking through Tijuana wearing a U.S. Immigration Services T-Shirt.

6. Cubs fans got really excited for Derek Lee first double, then they were quite for long time.

7. Since Amy won't let me name one of my sons Tavish I may now name him Hiroki. Boy was on! Not that he didn't have a couple of pitches smacked but he held it together.

8. I welcome our new closer Johnny Broxton.

9. Early in the game I got a hold of a beach ball and knocked it over the railing, someone threw sunflower seeds at me, I bet it was a Mexican.

10. And my bet was he was here illegally.

11. Harden really was pitching a pretty good game, he kinda just caught some bad breaks. But I like to think it was my goat secented aftershave.

12. I think this all goes to show God does not care about the greek orthodox church.

13. I was nervous all game.

14. The then just elated and relieved.

15. Bunch of Dodgers later came back on the field and ran around and said a few things.

16. No riverdancing with goggles on though.

17. Walking back to the car Amy almost walked by a Cubs fan who was just taking an enourmous leak in the parking lot. I mean enourmous, like turning a 2 liter bottle upside down kind of flow.

18. But yeah the cubs fans were bareable. Or maybe they were just scared.

19. Vince Vaughn was there. I figure he has had enough lucky breaks in his life that his mere presence lowered the Cubs chances. He also looked fat.

20. Cubs were scared of Manny!

21. Next Sunday the Phils come to town. I am looking forward to some great fights in the stands.

Think Blue!
