I can't even focus on work today. I'm too excited about the game tonight. I am getting out of here as soon as possible to head to the bar so I can get my seat and start enjoying the night/weekend.

It also helps that the storms yesterday cooled things off. It just feels more like October baseball should when there is that chill in the air on the way to work.

Dodger Stadium is on the foreground side of downtown.

That is insane. Doesn't look like my friend has very far to go to get to the game today though. She moved to downtown LA in April or so and this morning she wasn't going to the game the first time I talked to her. That changed half an hour later though. Someone gave her tickets. Must be nice.

This is her last chance to see playoff baseball there though. She's moving back to St. Louis next April after her lease is up. She's been out there a couple of years and is ready to come back. It is kind of crazy that the best friends she's made out there are actually from the St. Louis area. One of them has already moved back.

I thought they always said LA had no downtown

Apparently it has something considered downtown. From what I hear it certainly isn't nice though. She actually commented on how clean St. Louis' downtown was compared to LA. It seems that she's seen enough piles of human exrement to last a lifetime now and she's only lived and worked downtown for about six months.

But still, PLAYOFF BASEBALL DAY!!!!!

That is a GREAT QUESTION.

However, this is a scientific process, and each datapoint matters. This day isn't over yet -- tonight's game will matter a great deal. Hell, I could get hit by a garbage truck on the way home. I can't just go willy-nilly assigning a precise ranking to today with 8 hours and 42 minutes left on the clock.

Check back in tonight. I'll let you know.
