Yankees/Dodgers Game 2

This title is a little misleading. It was really game 3, but game 2 for Shane and I.

Shane surprised me with these tickets when we got to California, and was shocked and thrilled at the same time. We timed this trip to Dodgers Stadium a little better then the first night. Traffic on a Friday in L.A. is horrible, it took about 45 minutes to go 2 miles. We arrived at the stadium in plenty of time for team warm ups. Wow it was so much fun!!!! I should have been braver to see if I could have gone down to see the players closer, and maybe get their autograph and a picture with them.

This game was so completely AWESOME!!!!! The Yanks were trailing all game until the 9th inning, they came back to tie the game up 6-6. These next pictures explain it all.



Second baseman Robinson Cano doubled, scoring A-Rod. Chad Huffman followed singling to right scoring was Cano and Posada, moving Curtis Granderson to third. Collin Curtis grounded out to first, but not before Granderson had a chance to score. Game tied 6-6 in the top of the 9th.


#42- Mariano Riveria- Best closer in the game came out to pitch the bottom of the 9th, and 10th innings.


This was in the bottom of the 9th. This is a dispute between the Dodgers and the Umps. Two of the Dodgers were thrown out of the game for arguing with the Ump over the call of the pitch.

Shane and I sat by this kid, man was he FUN!!!! When the Yanks brought out Riveria to close the game he told the Dodgers fan behind us that the game was over. He couldn't have called it better.



The Yanks doing their high fives after the win. I have to say that is and was the best ballgame I have ever been to.



GAME OVER!!!!!! FINAL SCORE 8-6 WAY TO GO YANKEES!!!!!
