The Atlanta Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers last night in the second game of the play-offs, 4-3.
(The Dodgers won the first one.) I so wish I could have been there! It looked as if almost everyone was on their feet chopping away for this exciting yet nail-biting baseball game.
It has given me great pleasure to watch the Braves this year. I always call my Dad and we "watch" the game together and discuss what we think will happen...My Dad's TV is at least 7 or 8 seconds before mine (he has satellite and I have cable) so you just can't imagine how fun it is to hear a low whistle or joyful shout and then I know the Braves have either had a good hit OR a homerun! ("Oh, he struck out", I will say with great dismay, and my Dad will laugh and say, "Why, he's already sitting in the dugout!").
LAST GOVT SHUTDOWN- 1995.
GO BRAVES!
The last time that we had a government shut-down was 1995 which was the only year that the Atlanta Braves won the World Series!
Classiest version of that song ever! I hope your team goes all the way!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra! I love sports, I can go a bit crazy sometimes, I have to watch myself. Glad you liked Harpo's version too.
DeleteAll the best!!
ReplyDeleteOh, all the best to you too, and please visit me again!
DeleteGo Braves!, my blood pressure goes up with each game!
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you just didn't watch the Georgia/Tennesee game! WOW! Talk about a nail-biter!
DeleteI was thinking, Yay, they won (I wonder what sport this was, lol). I worked it out though, when you mentioned hitting a homerun.
ReplyDeleteHA! I didn't realize I didn't have one word of baseball in that post, I went back and added that word in!! BASEBALL, I LOVE it! xx
DeleteThough I am a Dodger girl at heart (have to be as a daughter of California) I am glad you enjoyed the game. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a little mind-bending that your dad's telecast is ahead of yours ... raises all kinds of thoughts about Time and Reality and the speed of sound and light.
Gorgeous header photo!
Hey, Sue! We can't all be California girls, you know! ;-)
DeleteYou wouldn't believe what a kick my Dad gets of being just those few seconds ahead of me, it's quite amusing!
Thank you! Richard took that photo of the boardwalk at Lake Alexander at Panola Mountain State Park. I love it too, I think it looks like a painting.
Gracious! This is the first time I've see Harpo play the harp. Is that why he's named Harpo. Wow!
ReplyDeleteOh good! I am so glad that you loved this too. It was from an episode of "I Love Lucy". Harpo Marx and all his brothers were so talented and funny, brilliant men, all of them. (All of the brothers had their own unique nicknames.)
DeleteGood luck to your Braves!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I hope Hurricane Karen misses you. They should have called it Hurricane KAY, and it would have just lightly breezed by enjoying the view!
DeleteI think Richard should take yo to California to see the game!
ReplyDeleteHa! I wish he would but he doesn't care ONE thing about baseball whereas my son and I have a dream to go to every single baseball stadium in the country AND go to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York!
DeleteI'm with Richard here! Wise man!
DeleteHA!
DeleteGood that someone is seeing the bright side of the govermnent shutdown! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a funny sign but I just found out from Tracey at Breathing English Air that they have closed the American Cemetery at Cambridge due to the government shut-down. A disgraceful shame, in my opinion.
