WHAT A GAME
I haven’t posted in a while, and there’s a bunch of stuff I should post, but I’ll save that for later. James, Sherv, my brother, and I went to the Coliseum for Game 3 of the A’s-Twins division series today, and it was ridiculously awesome. A raucous Coliseum, people waving cheap white “rally towels” (I’ll post a picture of mine when I can), a tight game where the A’s never trailed until they blew it open in the 7th inning (MAR-CO? SCU-TA-RO!!!), random super-excited people giving complete strangers hugs and high-fives, and then that final clinching out when the entire stadium seemed to release years of frustration and anguish in one pent-up burst of jubilation. They really haven’t won anything spectacular yet, but this team looks good, and I can’t wait for the American League Championship Series…
Anyways, I’m still sort of coming down off of the whole experience, so I’ll leave this as is for now. Perhaps edit it and make it more readable later when I can actually think. Another, more coherent post to follow later with updates (including the ridiculous trip to the Bay Area, and how my roommates and I are all here, but none of us actually traveled here together)…
