Dodger Week

So last week was Dodger week for Chely and I and, well; ofcourse Dodgers games rock. April 24th Chely and I went to our first game of the year with the tickets given to us by our comadre Norma ( thanks Norma). We had great seats, great view of the action, beautiful weather, Dodger dogs and the exiting feeling you get when your star player gets a hit. Oh, and then there was this moment; An Arizona player hit the ball to Jeff Kent, Jeff quikly steps on second base then throws the ball to first for a double out play and to Jeff Kents suprise; the umpire called the runner at second base SAFE so Jeff Kent unhappy with the umpires call; starts to argue with the umpire and you can really see Jeff Kent heated up as you can see one of his team mates holding him back. Jeff was ready to swing at the guy. You can also see Joe Torre on the left jogging towards them to clear things up. The result of all this Both Jeff Kent & Joe Torre were ejected from the game Unfortunately the Dodgers Lost 4-6 to the Arizona. We left Stadium Disappointed. :( But still said " We have to come again. And again we came the following Saturday 26th with my brotherand his girl friend. BROTHERLY LOVE This the Dodgers were playing against the Colorado Rockies and the seats were a bit further than the last game But as mentioned before; Dodgers games ROCK.... So there we are enjoying the 1st inning the Dodger Ace is Pitching (Brad Penny) and the Colorado Rockies hit a homerun in the first inning making the game 2-0, Chely turns to me and says " Man, the dodgers suck this year see, they even gave up a homerun already off the best pitcher they have. So alittle annoyed by the comments and hoping the Dodgers can prove my wife wrong this game. So it's 3 outs and it's the bottom of the first inning, the Dodgers score a run, then 2, then 3 then 4 and next thing you know this is the score. 10-2.Yey.. Its was soooo exiting to see them score 10 runs and was waiting to see what Chely was going to say now. To tell you the truth, I dont remember what she said :) In the 4th inning; Brad Penny threw a 96mph fast ball that hit the umpire in the neck close to his jaw. The umpire was briefly unconsience and they had to call an ambulance to take hurt umpire to a near by hospital. I had never seen something like that before at a baseball game. Througout I kept telling my brother that we should'nt leave even if the dodgers were up by 8 so early because when my brother and I we're kids; we went to a Dodger game where the Dodgers scored 11 runs in the first inning as well and they ended up loosing that game 13 to 11. But this time around they did keep a 7 run lead by the end of the game. I have to say this game was one to remember.
