AlmiraGulch Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I am. But I'm sitting here wondering if I'll watch the whole thing, or if my team will fall behind and make me mad, forcing me to change the channel and then sit here hoping that somehow my changing the channel will result in them doing better, which will just make me mad tomorrow for missing the comeback. It's complicated, this sports fandom thing. P.S. GO CARDINALS!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMommy Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I stopped watching after Beltran got hurt. Couldn't take it anymore. But I'm still listening to Mike Shannon call the game. Hearing it is somehow less painful than seeing it. Go Cards!

MrsMommy Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Now they're saying Beltran has been taken to a local hospital. Not sure if that's standard, but I don't feel too good about it. I really hope his season doesn't end here, when he waited so long to get to the World Series.

My husband will be taking the little kids trick-or-treating so I can stay holed up in my room with my baseball since he's not a Cards fan. Hopefully.

Your DH can be converted. I was born a Cubs fan. :-P Even my 2-month-old was getting frustrated last night by the game. Usually watching baseball calms him down, but he was quite irritated by the sixth inning. That was not the same team that got to the World Series. I feel sorry for Wacha. He's going to be under an incredible amount of pressure tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thankfully you saw the light and are no longer a Cubs fan. Geez! That's just traumatic. He doesn't dislike the Cards and is actually pulling for them. He doesn't have a specific team he's a fan of (used to be the Phillies but I bullied him out of it!). He just isn't invested in it like I am. And I agree with you about Wacha. He's been amazing so far. Let's hope that continues, and that our bats light up. We need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are watching it at a friend's house ... she has cable and I'm too mad at the cable company (which provides our internet and phone service only) to sign up for it. GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MrsMommy Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Wacha was a Cubs fan growing up! I learned that at Social Media Night back in September. He also answered the question I submitted, so he's been "my" player ever since then...and that was before the almost no-hitter! He was very personable that night...it was really cool being there and listening to him talk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Happy flight! What a game! Whoo hoo! I was too tired to post last night after the game, plus DH scared the baby with his cheering. Whoops! I know everyone talks about Wacha and Wainwright, but Rosenthal is so fun to watch close a game. He's intimidating! (Also, the alien that possessed Kozma in Game 1 must have left. He played like he was worried the guys might not let him on the "happy flight" home, lol.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMommy Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 We love Rosie! And Martinez is a beast, too! Our bullpen is pretty awesome, even with Motte injured. I was amused by Kozma, too. It was obvious he was trying to redeem himself after the previous night's debacle. I really do like him, errors and all...DH and I were there the night of his very first major league at-bat in 2011!
