World Series Game 7

Game 6 was super exciting and when it started feeling like Dodgers were going to Game 7, 
Dan bought tickets. Here's the cool thing: If you buy tickets to Game 7 but it doesn't 
go to Game 7, you get a refund. 
It felt like he had nothing to lose...


Wednesday morning Dan and I flew to LA. 
We had a THE BEST lunch at "2 cents" in Fairfax--
authentic, healthy southern food. It was SO GOOD!

We made a stop at The Grove Barnes & Noble to get a book for Dan so we could get to the parking lot early to avoid traffic and just read in the car.

We avoided traffic, but were only an hour early, so we just went into the park.

Within the first 2 innings, the Astros got 5 runs. The Dodgers fans turned on Darvish real quick.
He got pulled and Kershaw pitched a few great innings as did Jansen. But the Dodgers were out of luck. They kept stranding runners each inning. Lots of chances to make plays, but couldn't pull it off. 

By the 6th inning, it was clear we were barreling toward the end of the game with no great offense.
In a blink, the game was over and Dodgers had lost the World Series. What a bummer. 
There were lots of ticked fans but a few guys were shouting, "we had a great season! Dodgers are still awesome!" I appreciated those guys. 

Early the next morning on the shuttle to the airport, the driver saw my Dodger shirt and said, 
"It's ok girl, we'll get 'em next year!" Loved her too.
