Dodgers and Poker

Yesterday two of my fellow Deputies and me went to Dodger Stadium and I brought along some Fallen Heroes Shirts,coins and patches.

Both of them are die hard Dodger fans and when we went down to the clubhouse and talked with Larry Bowa and they were about to wet their pants with excitement.

We went into the dugout and onto the field as the media and TV crews were very busy setting up for the game. We stopped by the locker room and I spoke to Derrick Lowe who I had met several years ago when he was with the Seattle mariners. A childhood friend of mine, Norm Charlton was with the Mariners at the time and I was spending a week with him at spring training.

Derrick remembered and we had a great conversation as Greg Maddux came by and shook our hands as did several other players.

I wanted to meet Joe Torre but he was no where to be found. Most likely because the locker room was jumping with loud music and the players were actually dancing and having a good time. They then went out to put a beating on the Phillies and put themselves back in contention to go to the World Series.

There was a lot of Dodger memorabilia in the hallways leading up to the locker room and was something special that the average baseball fan hardly ever gets to see.

Game 4 is today at Dodger Stadium and we wish them luck.I have four tickets to todays game but I gave them to the two die hard fans, because I have the FLU really bad and I am home in bed taking meds!!!

As for Poker...last tournament at the Bikes Big Poker Oktober...absolutely card dead and went all in with 55 against QQ with a very little stack. I did not play one hand for three levels..Honestly my cards were that bad and hour and a half of losing chips ...With 3200 chips left and the blinds 400-800 I pushed only to run into a bigger pair.

Take Care...Be Safe.....
