We have a training class today that runs into my lunch time. I always take a late lunch because these training sessions are usually over before noon. Except this time they want a late session from 1-3pm. My coworker and I are going to lunch at 11:45am instead of our usual 1pm. That’s going to make the day extra long and we’ll be starving by the time we get home.
I just wish there was some way I could get out of this.
I totally missed yesterday. No seriously - the whole day. I was sick and all I did was sleep. I had a migraine straight from Hell. I got out of bed for about 2 hours then went back to bed for the night. Once I woke up this morning I knew that it was the first day of the World Series.
I’m so excited for the game that I don’t know what to do. My Mom (who hates all sports) is rooting for the Phillies (who she especially hates) just because they’re the “home” team. I’m leaning towards the Yankees although I’m still torn.
Jacoby Ellsbury was on Sports Nation last night and his thinks that the team that wins Game 1 will win the whole shebang. I like that idea, especially if the Yankees win the first game.
Alicia Keys and Jay Z were supposed to perform tonight but due to weather conditions they’ve been pushed back until tomorrow. The official reason is that the stage and equipment can affect the field if there is inclement weather. Oh well, at least they will still get to perform. Alicia is supposed to also sing the National Anthem. At least it won’t be someone screeching.
Go Yanks!
And it’s my dream/nightmare match-up. The Phillies vs the Yankees starts on Wednesday. I love both teams so I don’t know how I can decide on which team to root for. I’m a homer so I root for the Phils but for the past few years I’ve been rooting for the Yanks. I was so happy last year that the Phillies finally won but I also hated the Rays. Can I root for them again this year?
I don’t know but I can’t wait until Wednesday for the series to start.
Wow! I don’t know if I thought they could really pull it off. I knew they were good but let’s face it, they were playing a damn good Rays team. I just knew the Rays would battle back like they did against the Red Sox. Imagine my surprise when the Phils totally shut them down. Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena were almost non-existant in their games they were so ineffective.
You just know the Rays will be back next year. The core of their team remains intact and they’re a pretty young unit. I think the average age of their starting pitchers is 26. I honestly don’t think it will be that long before we see them back in a series. And you just know that they’ll win one eventually. Sorry to say I’m glad it wasn’t this year. 28 years is a long time for a city to wait for a championship. I’m glad the city of Brotherly Love finally gets to celebrate one again. Maybe they’ll even take it easy on Santa this year!
Congrats to the Philadelphia Phillies!!!!!!!!
Wow I can’t believe this. The Phillies are leading the Rays 3 games to 1. Ryan Howard unleashed 2 monster home runs. One for 3 run and 1 for 2 runs. Even the pitcher Joe Blanton had a homer! Game 5 is in Philly and Cole Hamels will be on the mound. Things are looking good for the Phils.
I can’t believe I have class tomorrow night and I’ll miss the beginning of the game. I probably won’t get home until the 3rd or 4th inning. Sometimes school sucks!
Go Phillies!!!!!!!!!!!
Bleh I’m not really excited about this World Series. I love the Phillies and that’s who I’ll be rooting for but still. I could care less about the Rays. I don’t care if they win at all. Magical season yadda yadda yadda big bull-hoey. I really wanted the Red Sox to win and play the Phillies.
I think this will be a boring series. I can’t wait to see the ratings for it.
Wow!!!!!! I’m so happy for all of the die hard Phillies fans. It’s been a long time coming. These guys really battled for it too. Cole Hamels is the NLCS MVP.
Now it’s just a wait and see if they play the Rays or the Red Sox. I don’t care which team they play, I gotta go with the Phils!
GO Phillies!!!!!!!!!!
And no I’m not a homer. I’ve always been a Phillies fan. The Yankees are my favorite team but I love the Phillies as well and I always have.
I said in another post that I was rooting for Manny and the Dodgers to meet the Red Sox in the World Series.
I take it back. I can’t do it. I can’t root against the Phillies. I just can’t. I’ve been waiting for this for years and it’s finally here and I say I’m pulling for the Dodgers. That’s just craziness.
I’m a Phillies fan and I have to root for them. Maybe it’s in the water or something. Maybe I was brain-washed as a child but I can’t root against them. Not at this time of year.
Go Phillies!!!!!!!!!
I am really hoping the weather cooperates for us on Saturday but especially on Sunday. Saturday I want to go see the Pirates vs the Phillies here in Pittsburgh. I don’t have the tickets yet but I have a gift card that I bought back in March that I can use. If it rains I won’t go but I’m hoping it’s nice so I can go. This is the only time the Phillies come to Pittsburgh this year. They usually only come once a season. Last year their trip here was in August and I was on vacation.
Sunday we’re going to Cleveland to see the Indians vs the Yankees. Guess who I’m rooting for? We got those tickets the day they went on sale. I’ve been waiting for this day for what seems like forever. It’s supposed to rain on Sunday and I’m really hoping it doesn’t. If the game is rained out we might not be able to go to the new game, especially if it’s a weeknight. We would have to take half a day the day of the game and be tired the next day because we wouldn’t get home until after midnight.
If it rains and they have the game anyway, we’ll have to sit in the rain and that doesn’t sound appealing. I just hope the rain stays away.
I don’t know if I really expected them to move on. I was just happy they made the playoffs after 13 years. They got swept by the Rockies who will now face the D-Backs in the NLCS.
The Yankees are losing their series 0-2. I hope they don’t get swept too. I may not be able to watch their game tonight. Hey, Sunday is football day darnit.
