Flower, Cinnamon Stick, & Sabo
A blog about three dogs.
Flower, our family dog growing up; Cinnamon Stick (aka The Missile), who was a good little dog; and Sabo... the doggy I just picked up this very evening from the pound.

Game #7, Tuesday July 9th, 6:40 pm: Mariners @ Sabo's Padres (2-1).
Preview: Sabo is excited today... because today is gameday !!!1! WE're off to Petco to see his Padres take on the Mariners. Today it's an outing with a blind man, a child, a dog, and all led by a fool (me).
Recap Game #6[b]. Sabo had a great drive up to LA, where our Uncle Bill (known as "the nuncle") once again joined us for the game. Despite being a day game, it stayed pleasantly warm, and a good time was had by all. The Dodgers (2-1) dominated the Rockies (0-1) by a score of 4-0.
4-0
[b]SDDC Race: The Dodgers eliminated all teams other than Sabo's Padres with their win in game #6. The Dodgers clinch the SDCC championship with a Mariners win in game #7
8Game #8, Wednesday, August 7th, 6:35 pm: San Jose Giants (A Giants) @ Inland Empire 66ers (Angels 1-0) of San Bernardino.
Preview: Sabo is getting a second chance of attending a game at San Manuel Stadium this season. Hopefully we won't get slammed by a surprise sell out as earlier this season, and hopefully it isn't brutally hot tomorrow in Berdoo.
Recap Game #7: The Mariners (1-0) crushed Sabo's Padres (2-2) 8-3. Despite this disappointment, fun was had by all the blind folk, children, dogs, and fools (me) in our party.
SDDC Race: The Dodgers (2-0) clinched the SDDC 2024 Championship with the Mariners win in game #7... their fourth in the last seven seasons which ties Sabo's Padres for second on the all-time list.

Game #9, Monday, August 12th, 6:40 pm: Pirates @ Sabo's Padres (2-2).
Preview Game #9: Sabo is attending his final game of the season.
Recap Game #8: The San Jose Giants (A Giants 1-0) beat the Inland Empire 66ers (Angels 1-1) of San Bernardino 2-1. It was a little warm on the drive up, but it was nice at San Manuel Stadium. Unlike our earlier attempt to attend a game here, this game was not sold out. In fact, I counted about 50 people and four dogs. We had the entire left field lawn section to ourselves most of the game. So I let Sabo off his leash to roam. Alas, no home run balls.
Season RecapIt was a good season for Sabo out at the ballparks. He attended nine games... at three different MLB stadiums, and three different minor league stadiums... featuring four games at Petco seeing his Padres. Sabo is such the good guy, and we've been doing this for 11 seasons now, we got the logistics down (except for those freak MiLB sellouts). Fun was had by all, including at last night's game #9, where in a good game Sabo's Padres beat the Pirates 2-1.
Of course, the season itself isn't over for Sabo. His Padres are in the thick of a playoff run, and he'll be backing them via the tv all the way. He always keeps the faith !
