After going up 3 - 0 on the Red Sox, only to have our stellar closer blow the game, then lose the next 3 as the Yanks did a few years ago, is difficult indeed. But, there have been so many great games, so many great series, so many World Series, that it helps balance it out a bit.<br /><br />I was HAPPY for the White Sox going to the Series. What a great achievement!<br /><br />And you are absolutely right - nothing like going to the ballpark. I haven't been able to go to the new stadium, but I got to go to some Braves' games this year (all Southerners are Braves fans, apparently, including my partner. They are my NL team.), and will be taking my grandnephew and his family to his FIRST MLB game this coming Sun. (he's been to Triple A once). I cannot WAIT! The Braves have a fantastic park, too. <br /><br />Anyway, you are absolutely right. It is so nice to have baseball to take our minds off of this other crapola, isn't it?Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-42127281796167860982009-08-31T09:47:23.824-04:002009-08-31T09:47:23.824-04:00Rev Amy- The only thing that gets me through these...Rev Amy- The only thing that gets me through these bad seasons is remembering the thrill of the 2005 World Series season. I never thought I would be able to experience the excitement of a World Series game, so the way I figure it, I'll just take the bad with the good and soak up the ambiance of summers at the ballpark. Nothing like the smell of hot dogs and beer on a hot summer day. Great memories! ;-)Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-41498983252985350702009-08-31T08:18:58.858-04:002009-08-31T08:18:58.858-04:00Oh, I hear ya.

There are a number of pitchers the Yanks have that I cannot believe they still have, especially in the bullpen. <br /><br />And I totally understand abt leaving the bases loaded...<br /><br />So, yeah - even though the Yanks are doing ewll this year, there are times when they have played VERY sloppy ball, and only their bats have saved them. <br /><br />There's always next year for your boys, right? :-)Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-70325939090589184212009-08-31T00:20:12.133-04:002009-08-31T00:20:12.133-04:00Amy- No problem about the White Sox....I'm so ...Amy- No problem about the White Sox....I'm so used to their up and down seasons and their constant leaving the bases loaded and not getting anyone in. Not to mention...I mean, taking Sweaty Freddie Garcia back? What did they expect? Not to mention, hanging on to that old dino Contraras. Sheesh, I was screaming for them to dump that guy right after we won the World Series. Sure, he did great during that series, but I saw him struggling throughout that entire season. I thought they should dump him then when they could get something for him. I had no doubt in my mind that he was going to stink up the place the following year. He gets chance after chance and no matter what, Ozzie keeps patting him on the back and telling him everything will be fine.

It is so funny, and sassy...Sometimes it might go over the edge, but hey - at least it's FUNNY when it does it!<br /><br />Oh, I hope your daughter DOES send something in! Wouldn't that be FANTASTIC to work for them?? <br /><br />Sorry abt your boys, but we had to stay ahead of that other Sox team...Rabble Rouser Reverend Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965609706204555067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-208401365281331903.post-80804802140606856652009-08-30T16:04:25.725-04:002009-08-30T16:04:25.725-04:00I love the Onion...a lot of truth with a little bi...I love the Onion...a lot of truth with a little bit of snark. <br /><br />I had to go back and watch the video to read the crawler...the NYY one was hilarious! <br /><br />My daughter said that the Onion was looking for more free-lancer's and she was thinking of sending something in,just for the fun of it. I could easily picture her writing some of that stuff, she's really a funny kid and has snark down to a science...she must get it from her dad. ;-)Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835150057881066641noreply@blogger.com
