Padres Win!

/ fearsomebeard / 5 Comments

Last night our much loved San Diego Padres won the National League  Western Division Championship vs the heavily favored Los Angeles Dodgers. This week they now move on to face the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship series. The National League Champions will then move on to the World Series starting October 28.

This is particularly bittersweet for me a long time Padres fan. The reason I say this is because one of our most beloved bloggers and a much loved friend of mine, Anne Marie in Philly, and I both shared our love of baseball. We would support each other when one of our teams was facing a particular rival and we would poke sarcastic fun at each other when our teams faced each other. Never once in our friendship did our teams end up playing each other for a championship spot.

I dreamed of one day flying into Philly and surprising her with tickets to a Padres vs Phillies game and had hoped to actually plan a trip to do so when Covid happened. Unfortunately we lost our beloved Anne Marie in Philly the next spring after that Covid summer and I never got to make the trip.

I dedicate this post to her. This is a moment in time that we both only dreamed of, I sure wish we could share it together. I will attend every game that I can of the series here in San Diego in her honor. I will be rooting for my team, not hers, but I know she will be looking down on us and rooting for her team from the other side.

To her I say “ Congrats Anne Marie, our teams made it! May the best team win!”

… oh and Anne Marie, I sure do miss you.

Someone recently posted this pic in a comment section of a blog I follow. I found it hilarious yet just a tad chilling. Chilling because I’ve always found dolls to possibly have a evil side, a side that we never see, yet they possess.

Since I enjoyed that photo so much I not only decided to share it with you, but Fearsome chose the movie that introduced us to Chucky for our last installment of Pure Horror.

Sleep well my friends!
