Tonight was night one of what has hopefully become my annual road trip to see the Dodgers, not counting Anaheim, San Diego, or San Francisco. Last year, it was Atlanta, this year, Houston. I had been to Minute Maid Park three years ago and ironically the 'Stros were playing the hated ones that evening. I was really impressed with how intimate the park felt that I wanted to come back and perhaps see the Dodgers play here. So here I am for 3 days with my buddy Josh. On this first night in the second of game of a 4 game set, Russel Martin and Jeff Kent would account for 6 of the 7 RBI'S tonight as the Blue, in spite of blowing a 6-1 lead, would pull off a victory in 11 thanks to Jeff Kent's solo shot during the top half of 11. What was funny was that right before Kent's home run, some Astro fan in the aisle next to us felt " obligated " to bring up the Lakers " choking " in game 6 of the finals, to which the Dodger fans felt to reply back, " And where were the Rockets ? " . Nice timing buddy.....Other news, had the bullpen , notably Faulkenborg and Broxton been able to hold onto the lead, Kershaw would have had MLB career victory number 1 and I would have been there to see it. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait another day kid. Well, I'm out for tonight, i'll be going to Space Center tomorrow before the game. Day 2 activities tomorrow. GO DODGERS !!!!
