(The final score of last night’s game was 6 to 1.  The Blue Jays now lead the Dodgers 3 games to 2.  Game 6 takes place Halloween night in Toronto.)

She’s sad it didn’t work out with Chase, but she’s been blessed with such a strong support network. Friends are telling her that she’ll find the right man in time.

Chase is a cool enough guy, but a little too career-driven for Kelsea. She needs someone more low-key and not drawn by superficial stuff. She realizes that may sound like an insult to Chase, but they were just two very different people who couldn’t gel with each other.’’
