Getting to the games, and getting back safely, are part of these outings too. Safely, as we were reminded coming back from Rancho Cucamonga a couple of weeks. The stretch of I-15 where the car driving back from a game was totaled has been rebuilt. Nobody was hurt thankfully, including Sabo the dog, who was closest to the point of impact.
Last week we drove, took a Lyft, and Sabo rode his very first real train (he has also been on a couple of tourist trains: from Felton to Santa Cruz, and in Poway). We drove from San Diego to the Perris-South Metrolink station; took a Lyft the 2.3 miles into downtown Perris ($16.79 inc tip); rode the train back to Perris-South ($2); then continued the drive to San Bernardino (~$80 r/t). Shortly we're going to Lyft to where my car was being worked on, then drive to Lake Elsinore.
In the SDDC race, the D'backs organization dodged three bullets on three consecutive days last week. As mentioned, on Tuesday I dropped the ball, and didn't take Sabo to see the MLB team at Petco Park. Their loss in that game would have eliminated them. Wednesday, we made the trip up to San Bernardino. That game was suspended without a score after the 4th because, I guess, there was lightning in the area. Pre-covid, this partial game would have been cancelled instead of suspended. If it was cancelled, it would have literally been a "double elimination" game, as both the D'backs (Visalia Rawhide) -and- Angels (Inland Empire 66ers) organizations would have been eliminated, while the yet to play Rockies would remain alive. The third bullet was the Rawhide still had to win the completion of the Wednesday on Thursday. Which they did 3-2, eliminating the Angels and Rockies.
2022-6-29, 6:05pm: Inland Empire 66ers (A, Angels 1-2) @ Lake Elsinore Storm (Padres 1-0)
This will be Sabo's 4th visit to Lake Elsinore's Diamond. In the SDDC race, after dodging those three bullets last week, the D'backs organization (2-0) is in first and, as the schedule now stands, safely in the clubhouse. In fact, they clinch the SDDC championship with a 66ers win tonight. Source:
