Red uproar


I admit, peer pressure and the power of influential media have me swept up in the Playoff season as well, at least to a certain extent. I intently watched the 3rd through 9th innings of the Cardinals vs. Astros game last night. And while the cheering, small talk in between, and essential hand-slapping congratulatory measures were going all around me, I actually thought: "wow, I really enjoy this game". There was so much comraderie and intensity coming from this group of die hard fans all huddling around the TV that it was hard not to get swept up in the excitement. I knew I had entered a sports haven so to speak, when I arrived to find a bunch of guys with not one, but two television sets on in their condo; one to the Rams' game, and the other to the Cards' game. Sadly, althoughI think it's too late for me to fully encroach on the the intricacies of football, baseball I find envigorating, when I had previously thought it a dull, slow sport. There's emotion there, as well as expression of skill and talent, and that definitely appeals to me. Although it was a heartbreaking loss last night, there's still hope just yet, for them, for us, and for all.
