The Dodgers broke out of their frustrating slump today with a huge win over the Mets 10-0. They avoided getting swept by those Mets and broke those NY guys 6 game winning streak. It prevented the Dodgers being swept at home which would have been the first time in 19 years.

But we were here. I think it was Mika who was the impetus for the Dodgers comeback. I told her she had to come to every game from now on.

I want to thank my two buddies Eric and Alexis who make the club so comforting and welcoming.

I want to thank everyone in Lexus Baseline Club. I can’t easily maneuver the steps to my seat so I spend my time in the club watching the games on tv. I still enjoy seeing my friends and of course eating the gourmet food that Jake the chef prepares. It’s a work of art!! I hope soon I can go down to my seat. Special thanks to the entire Premium Dept especially Gaby and Justine.

The Dodgers are on the road and I’ll be back at work tomorrow. This was their longest homestand. Hope they can keep winning. They are hanging onto first place in the west but barely. Today was a good sign.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you. GO DODGERS!

We were welcomed by the Premium staff. It was so good to see them!! They served us Dodger dogs, coffee, chips and fun!

I’ve been waiting for this news since 2023 season ended.

Nope. It wasn’t that Ohtani was signed.

That was a good thing of course.

I was waiting to hear that Kershaw would be back. I didn’t care when but all I knew was that I wanted him to stay with the Dodgers!! My son gave me the news!

Welcome back and please never leave us!!

Thanks for stopping by.

New name. New look. Once called Fanfest is now Dodgerfest. No autographs or selfies. Not free anymore except for season ticket holders.

It was very crowded.

We arrived early. I wanted to get a good seat at the King of Clutch luncheon. Crystal was able to get some nice things at the Yard Sale before the line got too long.

I stocked up on Ohtani and Yamamoto tee shirts and one Ohtani jersey. I thought most of the Ohtani shirts would be sold out when the season started.

The crowd was so big I couldn’t find my friends.

We left early before it ended. We stopped to get something to eat in LA.

It was a great day. A nice introduction to the Dodger season. See everyone soon. Thanks for stopping by!

I already thought that the postseason would be over very fast for the Dodgers. You can’t win games without hitting. When your MVP gets no hits in 3 games there is something very wrong. I quit watching or checking the score in all three games, such a disappointment.

Everyone was saying Great season. Uh no. They all play to make the postseason. What good is it to win the Western Division and then let second place D Backs sweep you? Very sad and very wrong.

When everyone was busy trading and acquiring players the Dodger owners were getting no one. Not a good pitcher. I mean seriously. You can’t pick up players who were DFA’d and expect them to suddenly be aces.

There’s always next year. That’s what they said last year. So it was repeated again. What’s the solution?

But anyway. I want to thank everyone who made this a fun year. It might not have turned out how we wanted but then again none of us were pitching or batting so it was out of our hands.

To all my Dodger family. I love you all.

There are memories that I won’t forget.

My friends

Thank you to all my Dodger friends. See you all next year.

I didn’t go to game one. I sent my poor son to see the carnage. He’s never been to a postseason game and I wanted to give him the opportunity. I think he will be traumatized forever after that embarrassing loss. He said no thank you when I asked if he wanted to go to game 2.

Unfortunately the game was over in the first inning.

I think I had more fun at work. Too bad

Postseason seems to bring out the worst in our best players. Where is the offense? Mookie has done nothing. Freddie has been in a fog. This is a repeat of last year when the Dodgers played two home games in postseason and it was over. Done.

Let’s hear the excuses. The Dodgers didn’t play for days while the D backs were playing wild card. The pitchers are all hurt. They did kick Julio off the team. They also got rid of Trevor Bauer and it turns out he was not guilty of whatever he was charged with. I’m in the minority of everyone I know when I stick up for him. They tell me he’s a bad person. Don’t you love it when people are the judge and jury? The Dodgers throw rookies out there to pitch. It might have been better to have sent Lynn out there in game 2. At least he has experience. Bobby looked bewildered and stressed. Not his fault. He’s a rookie after all. The last few weeks the offense has been barely there. I had this bad feeling that postseason would be like last year. I hate to be right.

Things at the stadium have made me want baseball to be over. Physically it’s been a challenge. It’s difficult to get to my seat but harder to get back up the steps. I end up sitting in the club. Thank goodness I have a place to sit or do I? I was told I can’t save my table. I’m not saving it. I’m sitting there because I can’t sit in my very expensive seat. I would much rather sit there as I’ve done for almost 20 years. I instead watch the game on the tv in the club. Sadly there is a person who complained about me sitting at the same table. He said I act like I own the table. Does he think I choose to be disabled? Sadly he will get his Karma because they always do.

I went to game 2. I didn’t go to my seat at all. I sat at my table I guess acting like I owned it. My knee was too sore although I got my cortisone shot.

The food was delicious. Chef Jake is the best!! Everyone said they missed me. Everyone noticed I wasn’t at game 1.

I’m hoping that the Dodgers can pull off a miracle in the next two games. I’m hoping for my friends. We have a great team. Our bullpen is outstanding! It can’t be the end already.

Thanks for stopping by. Hopefully this won’t be my last blog this season. GO DODGERS!

I started out for the Sim game early or so I thought at 2:20pm. I usually start out on the 405 South. My father long ago told me this was the fastest route. Unfortunately there was a huge traffic jam. I wasn’t even up to the 110 North in an hour. I asked Siri for the fastest route and she took me on a lot of crazy streets: one through a middle school that was just getting out. I finally got to the stadium right before 5:00pm. I was surprised there weren’t many people there and that it was a breeze going through the auto gate. I was very grumpy.

I had worked all night getting off at 8:00am. I got home, changed, took care of Poppy’s needs before leaving for my Kaiser appointment: my long awaited cortisone shots for my throbbing knees.

I went home and started to get my things ready to leave for the Sim game. the Sim game was by invitation only to season ticket holders. They had to use points. We premium members got invitations.

I went alone. Good thing because I was in a less than happy mood. . The long drive in traffic and lack of sleep doesn’t for a happy Cat make.

I think I growled at anyone who came close. They gave us some nice things: a refillable postseason cup and cookie, post season hat. Dodger Dog, water, popcorn and peanuts. Prime was giving away free drinks.

I was happy to see best buddies Shevie and Eric.

Shevie said Hey look. There’s your boyfriend Dave.

It was a lot of fun. So glad I went.

I was glad to get home though. So tired. My knee was aching a little but all in all it was a fantastic day.

She didn’t care that she was squishing the Dodger dogs in there. She’s been a little cozy with me since I fell. Good kitty.

First postseason game is Saturday. We will be playing the D Backs. My son is going in my place. I wanted him to experience postseason. It is so fun!! I’m glad that it’s a night game because it will be a hot day. I have problems getting to my seat. I’ve been spending most of my time in the club because I can’t sit too long or my knee gets stiff if I do go to my seat. I climb those steps back up holding onto the seat backs. Then I sit in the club the rest of the time. I watch the game on the tv in the club. The table where I sit has a good view of the tv and I can go to the beverage machine easily. It’s also close to the door. it’s not close to the food because I don’t want to be in their way. I wish they can make it a disabled table. They don’t have any in the club. Maybe one day. I have a disabled placard for my car. Maybe I need to wear it so I can park my body where I want.

Thanks for stopping by. You are why I write this. Thanks again Shevie and Eric for putting up with me.

Go Dodgers!! Let’s go to the World Series. Philip be ready for more chances to go to more postseason.

See everyone soon!

Today was the last home game of the season. Did I think it went by fast? Not really. It was a long up and down season.

As always there was a lot to be happy about and other times not so much.

Physically it was grueling. I want to thank all of the Dodger Stadium staff who helped me. There were months that I couldn’t maneuver those steps. Those were the bad times.

There were the bright spots:

I will have more blogs to come. I have so much to say!! Thank you for stopping by. Go Dodgers!!!

These luncheons are always fun. Today’s was in honor of Catching Hope, Will and Cara Smith’s foundation.

There were definitely some heavy bidding going on.

The big bidder was my friend Lisa who might have bought or bid on everything!! a true Dodger fan!!!

I’m waiting in my car for early entry to the game. I decided it wasn’t worth driving back to Long Beach.

It’s not too hot today. Thank goodness. I’ll get out of my car soon to wait in the shade.

Thanks for stopping by. I’ll have more blogs soon. You are the best!

All I said was “Austin be the hero again and hit a homerun!!”

With that swing of the bat Austin won the game and the series. Lynn did a great job as did closer Phillips. Remarkably Austin did the same thing exactly one year ago. Solo homerun winning the game.

No one gives Austin credit. I always do. He’s the best.

Thanks for stopping by. More to come soon Shevie.
