You know, for awhile there the game was 8-1. We were losing, and it was obvious we were losing. I stopped watching, because quite frankly, I’m sick of watching the Yankees win. Yankees lose, I’ll watch anyday. Decided to spend some time talking to my wife.
After a time, I peeked back in to see what was going on, and saw we had gotten back in it 8-7 in the bottom of the 8th, so I backed up the Tivo a bit, and watched all that. I got all excited, thinking we’d come back and win.
I almost wished we had lost 8-1, that would have been easier to take.
It was quite exciting – the crowd really got into the rally! I really thought they were going to do it. It was worth the excitement. The 8-1 was a heartbreaker. At least they made a game of it. NO rolling over and playing dead for the “spankees”.
