Last night I went to see my beloved Chicago Cubs take on the Los Dodgers in the playoffs. I have been a Cubs fan my entire life and this was the first time I have seen them in the post season. I went to the game with my buddy Shameless; this was the fourth time I have been to a Dodgers game this year. The other times I went with Andrea Anderson, Lexi Belle and Kenzi Marie, I have to admit he was my favorite ?date?. It was nice to go a game with someone who understands the sport, even if he is a Dodgers fan.
We got to the game a little late with the idea of scalping tickets. I have scalped tickets for countless events and have learned you get the best deal right after the game starts. Well last night we couldn?t find a scalper. When we finally did we made a great deal two field level seats for $200. I was beyond happy and we walked to the gates. The lady scanned our tickets?.they were fakes! We had been scammed. The lady said there were a lot of fake tickets and to go to main office and see if they could help us. We went to the main office and I pleaded our case; I didn?t tell them I bought them from scalper for obvious reason. The lady at the office was very nice and got her manger who told us she was sorry there was nothing she could do. She did have some good news, as just released extar tickets, but they were expensive. I asked her how much and she said $126 each. I told her I didn?t care I was a lifelong fan and just wanted to see the game. We bought the tickets went inside and got a couple beers.
We went to our seats and they were ten rows from the field right behind home plate. These seats were unreal! I was so happy, even though the Cubs were losing 2 to 0. I thought they would rally and win; I was surrounded by Dodger fans and have to give them credit as all 56,000 people in the stadium were completely into the game. It was a completely different atmosphere than the game I went to two weeks ago with Kenzi. I was probably the most vocal Cubs fan there, much to the displeasure of Shameless. I have a problem cussing at games and I think I made the man with no shame blush. The Dodgers went on score another run to make it 3 to 0. The Cubs rally I was praying for never happened, and they lost 3 to 1.
When Soriano struck out I thought I was going to cry. I drowned my sorrows in beer, as Rick and I went out and got drunk at Winston?s in Hollywood. I am so hung over and sad today. To make things worse Man City was up 2 to 0 then fell apart and lost to Liverpool 3 to 2. The only good news is that The Redskins won to improve to 4 to 1. 1 out of 3 will get you in the hall of fame in baseball, so maybe it?s a sign from God that next year will be our year.
