Insane Random Ramblings

I am really hoping the weather cooperates for us on Saturday but especially on Sunday. Saturday I want to go see the Pirates vs the Phillies here in Pittsburgh. I don’t have the tickets yet but I have a gift card that I bought back in March that I can use. If it rains I won’t go but I’m hoping it’s nice so I can go. This is the only time the Phillies come to Pittsburgh this year. They usually only come once a season. Last year their trip here was in August and I was on vacation.

Sunday we’re going to Cleveland to see the Indians vs the Yankees. Guess who I’m rooting for? We got those tickets the day they went on sale. I’ve been waiting for this day for what seems like forever. It’s supposed to rain on Sunday and I’m really hoping it doesn’t. If the game is rained out we might not be able to go to the new game, especially if it’s a weeknight. We would have to take half a day the day of the game and be tired the next day because we wouldn’t get home until after midnight.

If it rains and they have the game anyway, we’ll have to sit in the rain and that doesn’t sound appealing. I just hope the rain stays away.

Right now Comcast is showing the baseball preview. It only lasts for 7 days. They start with opening day. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a Yankees fan so it’s great being able to see their games.

John has decided that he’s going to root for the Indians so we can watch their games too. We don’t see half as many Indians games as Yankees games so we’re going to take full advantage of the preview. You can always see the Yankees because Fox Sports and ESPN just love them and the Indians. We also have a local station that shows the Pirates but I don’t watch them most of the time.

For the next few days, I’ll just relax like I have one of those adjustable beds and enjoy the games. I just wish I had an extra $180 to buy the package for myself so I could watch baseball all summer. It would be cheaper than paying to go to the games once you factor in gas and food. But I’m sure that once summer really gets here, I won’t be in the house much anyway.

I only care about the series vs the Yankees. I don’t care if we go to any other games. I know John will want to go to see the Mets during their series. Especially since one of the nights is a fireworks night. I don’t really understand how people can get excited to see the Pirates. They aren’t very good. They haven’t had a winning season in 15 years so it’s pretty hard to get behind them.

We’re already planning on going to Cleveland for several games. Cleveland’s tickets go on sale March 1st. We’re going to drive up there and get tickets for the a game or two. John said he always got better tickets by buying them at the box office instead of ordering them from the internet.

I love baseball season. That means summer is on the way!
