For those of you who live in a hole...yes literally live in a hole, you might be wondering what game I'm talking about. No the Hogs didn't decide to demolish Vanderbilt early. And the Mike Anderson era isn't starting tonight either.
The game I am talking about is the Baseball WORLD SERIES!!!!
If you don't know a single thing about me...there is only one thing that I wish for you to remember...I. Love. Baseball. I love everything about it. The fans, the stadiums, the food, the players, the coaches, the programs, the field, singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." I might have a minor obsession. For those of you who think it is nothing more than a slow and painfully boring game to watch, shame on you. There is so much more to it that only a few can understand and appreciate. It's called America's favorite past time for a reason.
So yea.. tonight is game 6 of a 7 game series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers. I'm rooting for the Cardinals. Duhh. I am so proud of my Cards for making it through the entire post season after being down 10.5 games. Talk about having faith! They believed in themselves so incredibly much and played with such heart in their last few games and this is why they are still playing ball today. The Rangers are currently ahead 3-2. They have an incredible team this year which makes me even more nervous for the Cards!
Here is the lineup for the rest of the series. Whoever reaches 4 wins first will be the 2011 World Series Champs.
Thursday, Oct 27, 7:05pm--Rangers at Cardinals
Friday, Oct 28, 7:05pm--Rangers at Cardinals (if necessary)
Wanna hear the best news yet......
I went to GAME 5 on Monday!!! Y'all this is huge. Bucket list material right here. I have never been so incredibly shocked, blessed, and excited about anything in my life. One of my friends gave me a ticket so I, along with 2 other Kappas, skipped class on Monday and drove to Dallas. It was the coolest thing I have experienced and I can only wish to attend more World Series games in the future. Hope you guys are able to catch the last game(s)!!
