We will be on the road for the Astros game. Will be listening to the radio broadcast and trying not to scare the children with our excitement at various plays. Luckily they have headphones and iPads to keep them entertained.

We have to frequently say “they just said that. Are you paying attention?”

I’m going to the game tonight and I’m so excited. We are going like 3 hours early. I want to merch it up with postseason gear.
And the city is going to be a nightmare. There is a preseason Warriors/lakers game and that stadium is right down the street. Plus it’s fleet week so there are a bunch of people in town for that. I won’t even tell you guys the prices for parking. You’ll fall out of your chairs. We normally take the train but I am just not ready to get on a crowded train with strangers. Outdoors is one thing. Smashed train is not working for me right now.

T&P's for your parking spot/lot finding patience. We once parked on Embarcadero on 4th of July, I understand the pricing

WHY is Ted Cruz an Astro’s fan?!
Do not want.
Apparently someone at the game today asked him if he was headed to Cancun after. 🤣🤣
And by someone I mean Bun B. He was letting Cruz have it!! Mad respect!!

Speaking of politicians, our governor took the bold step of saying Go Giants. 😬 There’s more voters in LA.

The White Sox have again lost and I feel peace in my soul. Sometimes it’s really hard to be a Cubs fan married to a Sox fan but the last two days have been pretty good.
And before anyone feels bad for MH, he actively rooted against the Cubs when they finally won. AND when the White Sox swept the series when we were in college, he accidentally slapped me in the face with the broom he was waving around like a moron.

I feel you—I’m a Red Sox fan married to a Yankees fan. We actually started dating during the 2003 ALCS, and we’re somehow still together 😊

I still don’t know if I could manage a subway series in Chicago. 20 years into the relationship.

My in-laws are Yankees fans and Mh is a Red Sox fan like me so we like to tease them, and they give it back.

An amazing game!
I was so stressed when it started but Posey’s homer in the first was amazing.
It was so cool to see DS experience it all for the first time. He was a bit nervous at the beginning with the noise and people but he started chanted along with the crowd after awhile. He liked the “he’s a bum” cheer. And he heard a lot of “curses” because we were in the bleachers and there were some feisty dudes. Finally in the 8th he leans over and whispers “I think they could really win”. ❤️❤️❤️
We did tell him repeatedly how lucky he is and how special this all is.
And for food, I got a Sheboygan Braut and a Ghiradelli hot cocoa. I regret nothing.

I bought a post season sweatshirt and I have to return it because I bought the one where The City is in cream lettering and I meant to get the Gold lettering. I had the right one but I switched sizes at the last minute and didn’t realize I picked up the one with the cream. I’m so mad at myself but the thing was so damn expensive that I can’t not get the one I want.

There were a ton of Dodgers fans tonight in the section we were in and the stadium was so quiet compared to last night. Cold bats and not great bullpen pitching. Going to LA with a tied up series has me like 😩

Yesterday ended up being more about college football for me. Between OU winning against UT, and A&M beating Alabama…it was a great day!
Astros play tonight—all things crossed for a W!
