NOV. 1
Dodgers win! It was extra innings in Toronto and the suspense was wild in Los Angeles. Team Buff is celebrating all over SoCal and we've got cameras capturing the excitement.
PREVIOUSLY
The World Series is on and we're getting in on the fun! That includes Leo taking in his first baseball game -- ever.
The people give pizza and has chips for wet cheese. There is delicious wine and I like it. I think I has 5 wine jejeje. Maybe it is 4. I like it! jejeje
TUESDAY, OCT. 28
It was the day he was waiting for: Leo got to take in his first World Series game. He was so eager he was ready for it the day before... because, well, he mixed up his days and thought he was going to yesterday's game. Oops. But Brazilian Leos will Leo, right?
And, because he's going with our Canadian boss -- who's married to our Brazilian boss -- we had to screw with Leo before the game. (Buffs gonna Buff, ya know.)
Given that our boss is a 20-year broadcaster and media personality, he was invited to take in tonight's game. And just for shits and giggles, he decided to bring Leo along for the adventure because, you know, comic relief.
As they made their way to the game, Leo was given the rundown of dos and don'ts since he's technically a media guest. In short: smile, stay out of the way, don't say much. Simple, right? You'd think.
FROM LEO
Bom dia the Buff Boys Friends. Is Leo write you. This baseball game have now just finish and is no good for LosAngeles because has no win the game. Toronto from Canada is play the win. This is OK because I love Canada and has nice people.
I will tell you about this game. In the afternoon I come to the place and is no people. Is before the baseball and can see the men play pretend before this game. Is not the same one is pretend before. Then I go inside to watch the men talk with the journalist. I was have lemonade and is good. I meet the famous China man [Ohtani, from Japan] for baseball. He is the one I see for TV every time. It is nice to have him in this place.
After this I go to another place and we have food is delicious. The people give pizza and has chips for wet cheese. There is delicious wine and I like it. I think I has 5 wine jejeje. Maybe it is 4. I like it! jejeje
When is the baseball I sit in a big chair and is above the game. I can have popcorn is give for me. I like when there is music and the sing. There is a song I hear before but I am not the name for it. Every other people is sing and I was pretend jejeje. The LosAngeles baseball does not win so is not happy the people there. I think they will play the next day and can have a better baseball.
Now the game is finish and is dark because everyone has leave. The journalist talk with the men and has questions. I am take the computer and write for you my story because is my first baseball time to see in real.
I think it might be party after and will see more people. This is a happy time for the Canada baseball but not LosAngeles.
Thanks you for read my write. I hope I will see another baseball again.
Naturally, we had to check in on the boss to see how his "date" with Leo was going. (teehehehehe!)
MONDAY, OCT. 27
We're not necessarily the sporty types -- aside from flexing and looking good at the gym and on Instagram -- but when the World Series pits Los Angeles (us) versus Canada (the boss), we have to partake!
So, while we're not the biggest baseball fans, we rarely turn up an opportunity to have some food and drinks... especially when the Brazilian boss is picking up the tab! We went out to catch the game on the big screen. Truthfully, it was more about socializing and being in the moment with everyone. Could we tell you what happened in the game tomorrow morning? Definitely not. Even 10 minutes from now? Probably not.
Most people don't realize that we're tasked with running the Happy Bulge social media accounts overnight. With the baseball game running well over six hours thanks to 18 innings, we got a little distracted and didn't pay much attention to what was happening online. Those poor blue-balled bulgers, hey!
Knowing that he was left out of the fun of watching his Canadian baseball team play, we had to get our broadcaster boss in on the fun -- even though he doesn't give two shits about the game.
It's probably something you've never thought about: do they ever run out of commercials when a TV show runs longer and longer and longer? We asked, he answered!
After six and a half hours of baseball and, uh, at least, maybe, two-ish beers each, it was time to call it a night-morning at 1:30 a.m. We made our way back home and prepared our excuses for why we slept in and are late for work tomorrow.
