Day 34-38: Los Angeles (NL), Las Vegas

Today we saw the Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium in L.A. It was a good pitching matchup, with Aaron Sele out-dueling Jason Schmidt for a 3-1 victory for the Dodgers. I had LA today, so I finally put an end to Ben's comeback and take a 13-12 lead into the all-star break.

Dodgers Stadium was very big, and our seats were in the outfield bleachers. One rather strange thing though, was that if you sit in the outfield bleachers at Dodgers Stadium you are cut off from the rest of stadium. We could not walk all the way around, and also, there was no alcohol being served in the bleachers. This was probably a good thing with the rowdy crowds that are often out there. We had a great time at the game with my 2nd cousin, Maryel Harding, who joined us after providing a place to stay in Lompoc, CA. Also, it was her birthday, so Happy Birthday Maryel!



After the game, we made the 270 mile drive to the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. We are joined by a couple of friends from Furman, Moutray McLaren and Morgan Purvis who flew out for a week at the poker tables with us.

Unfortunately, most of the casino hotels do not have free internet in the hotels, so we will not be able to update the blog each night, so this will be the last post until late Thrusday night most likely. So, don't worry too much if you don't hear from us, but call us if you want some fun stories hopefully.



All statistical information will be updated with the next post.
