Preparation Time

I have only 3 days to get ready for THE FIRST GAME!!! I know….it’s just an exhibition game. But it is the first game for me.
What am I doing to get ready? Charging up the battery in my camera. No, it’s not a fancy SLR. It’s a Canon with good close up capabilities. SLR’s are too heavy. Tried that but it was too exhausting carrying that thing around. It’s amazing how much an SD card can hold. I stocked up on those too.
I had to put all my Dodger blue through the wash to freshen everything. It’s all
been waiting for 6 months for baseball season to come back again. No, I don’t wear that stuff all year around. I wear Dodger duds only to games. By the end of the season I’m kind of tired of the blue.
I made sure I had at least 3 baseballs in case I want any autographs. There are a few new players.
It will be interesting to see if anything changes. Time will tell. Everyone thinks that ticket prices will go up considering
the $2 billion price tag. Mine won’t since I already pay a lot. They had discounted many season tickets already. Last season attendance was very poor but maybe Magic will draw folks back.
Season ticket holders will be allowed in to watch betting practice 3 hours before the game. Yikes. I already thought 2 hours ahead was just fine. Peer pressure and my obsessive desire to be first will make me arrive there even earlier. Might as well pack my bags and stay at the stadium!!!
I haven’t gotten my nail tips painted blue yet. I’ve been delinquent. Hopefully I’ll get around to it by Opening Day.

Not sure how I will tie this picture in but the cat is watching a cat on tv. Is that too much??? Her name is Georgie. Usually orange cats are boys but this one is a girl!! Confusing enough since we call her George.
I’m trying to arrange work around the baseball schedule but it gets difficult. I may have to call in “blue” sometime. Work just seems to get in the way.
I hope everyone has noticed what a great spring Dre has had. I get a feeling that he will get a long term contract so he, James, Matt and Clayton can stay together and play.
James also seems to continue with his hitting.
AJ has pretty much sewn up his spot as catcher.
There is some controversy about who will be closer. I believe Javy should continue.
Skinny Swag also has had a phenomenal spring.
Ted Lilly will start the season on DL. That’s a definite uh oh. I’m pretty happy with Harang and Capuano. I will miss my Hiroki though. Jamey Wright also has earned a spot on the roster.
Opening Day is a sellout from what i’ve heard. Good thing I have to be there 3 hours before the game. At least I’ll beat the crowd.
Thanks for stopping by. When the games start, I’ll be sure to post pictures and let you know what’s going on from my viewpoint.

I know the game and the players are the most important things but cats have always facinated me along with dogs and other animals but I can’t remember any of my pets actually watching TV although many people say they do.
It’s good that you have a chance to see the Dodgers taking BP, I know in New York the fans are not let into the ball park until the home team is finished taking BP. I guess that doesn’t include season ticket holders.
Well let’s hope the new owners are able to get the Dodgers into the World Series and win it too.
