September 15, 2014 PLAY BALL!

Monday September 15, 2014

Sometimes, I have to remind my humans that I am the center of their universe.

 

Woke up to another cold morning, upper 30's.  We readied Hannah and started heading across the plains south.  Today, we saw both deer and antelope, no buffalo though.  Only cattle.  It is vast and beautiful.  We crossed into Colorado.  Hannah has some injuries.  We stopped at a Camping World so Spouse could get a new sewer pipe.  When he went to hook it up, it is not the right size, so he had to repair the old one.  Hopefully, it will get us home.

 We were going to head to Colorado Springs, but we stopped in Denver instead so we could catch the Dodgers playing the Rockies at Coors Field.  I get so excited going to a new ballpark, and with the Dodgers in the pennant race, how can it get better.  There's Clayton Kershaw!  The BEST pitcher in baseball today!  And Yasiel Puig... oh, his batting average is below .300.  Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Dee Gordon...   Will this be the year?

 

 

 

 

 

With our ticket, we get a purple T-Shirt and a $10 food ticket.  And, they had something I would actually eat!  A delicious veggie wrap with spinach, shrimp, cukes, black beans and other stuff.  It was good!  Of course Spouse had some normal ball bark crap, but only as much as the freebie would pay for. 

 

We watched the girl next to us eat.  We are in a state that allows cannabis.  She had a big bowl of nachos with all sorts of meat on it.  An inning later, it was fried something with cheese and green onion.  A couple of innings later, a churro.   I would have been stuffed had I eaten just the nachos.  She was very impressive - and not fat!  Had to be the cannabis!

 Matt Kemp's 2 run homer started the game.  It was 3-3 going into the 6th when the Dodgers scored 8.  In Colorado, you expect high scoring games because the balls fly out here in the thin air.  But the 8 runs were scored without a home run and it was enough to seal the deal.  There are a lot of Dodger fans in the stands.  Ahhhhh!
