Glad that I had the chance to go

It was worth the entire $135 I had to spend on the tickets/parking pass. Even with the loss. Because they fought to the bitter end. Well, ok, not Sup. But, everyone else showed up and was a gamer.

Because, even, with a loss, I may never have a chance to say that I went to a Brewers playoff game. I mean, my dad made the most sense to me today, in that, during his life time, the Brewers were in the playoffs 3 times (including 2008, obviously). 2008 was the first time he got to go. They couldn't afford to go in 1982 (with a 2 year old and all...) and Dad was 5 or 6 in 1956 and 57.

I just wanted to stand in the stadium for as long as I could. I even had a little tear in my eye. The whole stadium cheered even at the end, when they lost. As the bullpen was walking in from center field, Torres raised his hat and then threw it in the stands. I wish more players had come out and just waved to everyone at the end. I'm sure they were too upset. They didn't want to be done, I'm sure. It's going to be a long off-season for some, I think.

So, here are a couple of things that I hope for next year:
1. Give Sveum a year at coaching. See what he can do.
2. MARK!! Open up your checkbook and pay CC! We want him back. DIDIMAO!!!!

I really wish Jake and I could splash out on a 9-pack of tickets for next year, but it's too much money. Maybe someday. When we pay off the credit card and get more financially stable. Not that we aren't now, but there's more that can be done.

I have a cold this week and it really sucks hardcore. I don't remember the last time I was sick with a cold like this. Sore throat, cough, stuffed nose. Ugh. This week is going to be LONG....I'm dreading it already.

Well, I'm going to enjoy having the cats sit with me and possibly some Cherry sugar-free Jello. If it's ready.

I think Captain Cheeseburger Sabathia is a perfect compliment to the rhinoceros that is Prince Fielder...they are both menacing and powerful.

I was rooting for the Crew as well...given that my ancestors hail from 'sconny, they have a special place in my heart...especially since they moved to the NL.
