Clinching The NL West - Sept. 29, 2015

Hello everyone!
I've been a little busy these past two weeks. If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you know why. Bouncing from Los Angeles to San Francisco will keep you tired for sure. I did have the privilege to witness my Dodgers clinch the NL West in San Francisco, shutting out and eliminating the Giants at AT&T Park. It was truly an experience I will always remember. Clayton Kershaw was on the mound shutting down Giants batters throwing a complete 9 inning game allowing only 1 hit, 1 bb and striking out 13. He was amazing!

I have to say, AT&T is a nice park to clinch in. After the 7th inning, it seemed as the Dodger Blue in the crowd outnumbered that inmate orange 3:1. It was a beautiful sight. I've never been able to go to a game where a team has won a deciding game, let alone my Boys in Blue.

Thanks, Pops, for thinking of me and treating me in SF!

Here's a few shots from my experience:

Sorry SF, this is a Dodger Blue night

The Los Angeles Dodgers Are The NL West Division Champions

It was an epic battle of a game in L.A. last night that concluded with Juan Uribe blasting a 2 run homer in the 8th and a Kenley Jansen close in the 9th. I couldn't be more proud to be a Dodger fan right now. These guys are working hard for this and deserve it. There's not much more I can say, other than, let's get that pennant!

Zack Grienke Dominates the Padres in Tuneup Game

The Dodgers were able to shutout the San Diego Padres with their starting pitcher, Zack Greinke. He lowered his ERA to 2.67, retiring 9 batters and allowing only 2 hits.

With a playoff berth already clinched, this has been a perfect opportunity to sharpen our pitching in preparation for October. Greinke showed he's a fighter and has what it takes to dominate in the playoffs.

The Dodgers will be in San Francisco for a 3 game series starting tomorrow. Oh how I wish the clincher could have been completed there! I am happy though that it was completed early enough to give our Boys in Blue some breathing room and some time to get everyone healthy and ready for October.

Meanwhile in Oakland, the A's clinched their spot in the playoffs with their win versus the Minnesota Twins. I will have to say, these boys deserve this. They, not unlike the Dodgers, have dealt with a lot of setbacks and tough losses and have a right to be the champs in the AL West.
