World Series!!!!!

October 27, 2011 by 9 Comments

Hey guys!  This week has been so busy busy busy!  Projects to finish, a paper to write, another assignment to finish, and a test to study for!  But it’s slowing down just a bit- one of the projects is finished, the paper and the assignment are done, and I made a 94 on my test!  Huzzah! 

Guess what we did this past weekend?  We went to the World Series!!!  (or as some of my fav DJs on the sports station I listen to on the radio are calling it… the World Effing Series!)

You guys I LOVE baseball!!  And I also love the Rangers!  I’ve been going to games for as long as I can remember.  And I’ve honestly never cared that the Rangers hadn’t been to the World Series.  They’re my team win or lose.  But It’s still super exciting that they’ve gone to the World Series two years in a row! 

We couldn’t afford to go to any of the playoff games last year, but this year I knew that I had to get tickets as soon as they went on sale.  So I was online the second they went on sale.  I stood in e-line for 4 hours waiting to buy my tickets.  And as soon as I printed those bad boys out I was so happy.  I think I smiled the whole rest of the day! 

So on Sunday we got there super early so that we wouldn’t have to fight traffic since there was also a Cowboys game and the stadiums are right next door to each other.  So we picked up some food at whole foods and had a little picnic!

You guys!  Whole Foods has this Chia bread and it’s freaking AMAZING!!! I got the veganize me sandwich and it was so freaking good!  Next time I get it I’m going with mustard though- I’m not a big mayo fan.

It’s not a picnic without a cookie!!  (or 3 or 4, haha!)

While we munched we listened to the Cowboys game on the radio.  I don’t like football so that was pretty torturous for me.  At least I had cookies. Winking smile

Then they opened the gates to the stadium, so in we went!

Then headed up to our seats with a beer in hand!

Our seats weren’t as high up as I thought they were going to be.

The game was AWESOME!!!!!  Rangers won!  4-0.  And Napoli was of course a total badass!  And Holland’s pitching was on fire!  (P.S. my prediction from as soon as I knew they were going has been Rangers in 6.  I’m sticking with that one!  Though I wouldn’t turn my nose up at Rangers in 7, lol!)

These are the faces of two very happy Rangers fans!

World Series here we come!

First, before I say anything else I want to say…

THE RANGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!

This is something I didn’t think I’d ever say and It makes me the happiest girl in the world to be able to yell that!  I’m obsessed with baseball.  And the Rangers.  Have been ever since I was old enough to know what baseball was.  Baseball was king in our house- we didn’t really watch any other sports.  And we were playing as soon as we could fit a glove on our hands.  Little league, you betcha!  We did it and have millions of those little trophies!

I’ve been to a lot of Rangers games since I was a kid, and if I remember correctly one of the games we were at was a Nolan Ryan no hitter (my brothers will have to correct me on that if I’m wrong).  My brothers got to go to the game where Nolan got in a fight with that little punk that charged the mound.  I wasn’t invited to that game- I think it was a boys night out thing with dad.  Boy was I pissed that I missed that!  I still am by the way if you’re reading this dad!  🙂

Nolan Ryan is a TOTAL badass by the way!  And he was 46 when he pummeled this kicked this dudes butt.  You really need to watch this!  I think he’s still my all time favorite player, though Young and Hamilton are giving him a run for his money right now!

 

So anyway, I’m pretty psyched about the world series.  Unfortunately I’m a poor college student and I’m not even going to pretend I can afford to even dream about going.  But we have an awesome TV with a pretty good size screen, so I’ll be watching it in HD in the comfort of my own home.  It’ll still be awesome and we’ll still be watching a piece of history!

Way to go Rangers- you’re my boys!!!!!
