Game 7

I am not a happy camper.  Nope.  I can't believe the Rangers couldn't pull it off.  They had plenty of opportunities.

They've gone to the World Series twice and couldn't win it.  Sad.

Well, back to my knitting.

Game 6

Tonight is Game 6.  Could this game be it?!  Keep your fingers crossed and cheer on Rangers!!

No more baseball

"The greatest feeling in the world is to win a major league game. The second-greatest feeling is to lose a major league game." ~Chuck Tanner, quoted in The Sporting News, 15 July 1985

Last night the World Series Game 5 was continued. As much as I wanted Tampa Bay to win, it did not happen. Sad. But it was great they made it to the series! The games were good (sorta of). And I am not totally upset that Philly won. Just dissappointed it didn't last longer and I now have to wait until Spring.

"That's the true harbinger of spring, not crocuses or swallows returning to Capistrano, but the sound of a bat on a ball." ~Bill Veeck, 1976


What will you be doing/watching until baseball season starts again?

World Series starts!

The World Series starts tonight!
We are huge baseball fans and are looking forward to watching Tampa Bay kick butt! Not that we're big Rays fans but we like them better than Phillies.
We use to be big Atlanta Braves fans but several years ago moved over to the other side (American League). Our favorite teams, yes teams, are Cleveland Indians and the Texas Rangers. But since they aren't playing, we'll be cheering the Rays on to victory!!

Here is a good article from mlb.com about the "fresh" matchup for the World Series. I think it is great that the Rays, who have never been to a World Series, get to play the Phillies, who haven't won a World Series in 28 years. It is refreshing that we don't have to watch the same teams play over and over again every year. I say let someone else have a chance.

And now...
I'll be patiently (well, I try to be patient (ha!)) waiting for the game to start.
