Day 300: Baseball

This is going to be all about baseball because that was the most ridiculous game I have ever watched. First off I decided I would try to explain the game to Mom. If I knew the game would be a play of errors maybe I would have decided against that. I don't know if Mom learned, as in heared and understood and retained, one fact of the game. Towards the end I pretty much shut down even though she was still inquiring about things that I had already explained ad naseum. At that point all the joy was gone.

 

Now I may upset some fellow Rangers fans in saying this, but the Cardinals deserved to win. In that I mean that we had ample opportunity to end this game and the series and to take home our first World Series win and we just didn't do it. They on the other hand met us run for run until they hit a three run deficit, ultimately tied the game up at the end of the ninth, and tied up the game again after a two run lead from us in the 10th. If it was the other way around and that had been our team, we would be besides ourselves with glee. As is evident by the Cardinal fan's jubilee.

 

In saying that, I hope this does not lead to a Cardinal win. People can say it is likely because it is a home game from them or that it is game 7 and they have always (always?!) been won by the home team. They can say it is destiny after they have come back from every set back this season and definitely fought as if they were dying men tonight. I can see how all of these things could seemingly lead to an epic victory but they still have won a World Series and we have not. We are the little team that could, second year trying. If we have to we will be the little team that could, third year trying just the same.
