Hunt for a RED October

The Angels post season started last Wednesday and oh my goodness has it been a dismal post season so far. The Angels finished the season with the best record in baseball. They clinched the American League West Championship in early September, way before all the other teams clinched. On paper they are the best team in baseball. On the field, they sure didn't look like the best team in baseball! We lost our first two games against Boston on Wednesday and Friday which just blew my mind! This is only a best of 5 series how could we have lost the first two games. Which were played here at home too! During the first game of the series Lance and I got to hold the flag again. My dad did it with us this time and we all had a great timeLance, my dad and I are all on the left hand side of the flag. Lance is the first person down there, I'm the 3rd tiny speck above him and my dad is the 5th tiny speck above me! I just love this picture though, it just shows how huge this flag is and how many people it takes to pull it off!

The Angels FINALLY pulled off a victory last night. It took them 12 horrible innings, but they finally did it. We play Boston again tonight in Boston and it's do or die. I would love for the Angels to come home on Wednesday with the series all tied up!

Tonight is also Monday Night Football and Lance and I will be wildly rooting for Minnesota. Not because we are Minnesota fans, oh no! We are Buffalo Bills fans! I use "we" loosely here. Lance is a dumb Dallas fan! =) Baseball season is not even over yet though so I can't begin the Dallas bashing until November. Wait for it, it will come! So, back to rooting for the Vikings. Lance and I are in a weekly football pool and it looks as though this week, I am in the running for er.....um..... some credits! We don't live in Nevada, and betting is illegal here, so credits it is! I'm tied with 5 other people going into tonights game and those 5 all picked New Orleans to win. So, if the Vikings do win, I look like a genius. If they lose, well..........

When I do my picks, I do them in about 30 seconds. I go down the list and check off my teams I think are going to win. Lance, well, he takes the whole week to get his picks in. He studies the teams records, and their roster and their injuries. Blah blah blah looks like my way worked this week! hahahaha GO VIKINGS!!!!!!!!

Ryan, Lance and I were wishing your Cubs would continue on to the World Series so you could come out here and watch an Angels/Cubs world series. Looks like the Dodgers kept that from happening! We are excited for the Dodgers though even though Cubs fans have been waiting 100 years for a trip to the world series. I wonder how many it will actually be until they make it there and win it? When they finally get the goat off their back!! =) Maybe next year you can join us for a Angels/Cubs world series!!! The Angels will win of course!! hahahahaha

Alright everyone cross your fingers, toes, legs, arms and anything else you can cross and send good mo-jo that the Angels and Vikings win! For those of you who just don't give a darn, I'll keep you posted, because I know deep down you do! =P
