And the best team won...Congratulations to the Kansas City Royals on their World Series victory over my New York Mets. Am I disappointed? Of course, I am...I'm a fan, but let's face facts. The Royals out-hit , out-pitched, played better defense, out-hustled and clutch hit better than the Mets. And from what I saw...(which was about 2 innings of the whole Series on TV, the rest listening on radio), the Royals WANTED it more than the Mets. Their manager said it after the game last night. They were one out from winning the Series last year and the Giants took it away from them...they were on a mission from spring training this year and never stopped pushing until they reached their goal. So, congratulations Royals and their fans...(Anna and Mike). I bow before the World Champs.
Disappointment aside, I want to thank the Mets for giving me a season to remember...I never believed that they would have this successful a year in my wildest dreams. Listening to the games on the radio and hearing the crowd roaring during the playoffs gave me chills and rekindled my love for baseball and my Mets. Even though I am 2500 miles from the New York area, I know how electric the atmosphere must have been during the playoffs. I am so glad I got to see them play here when they visited the Dbacks. I hope they take the lesson learned this October...(like the Royals) and go into next year and beyond hungry for that championship ring.
I almost forgot to tell you guys...the reason I didn't see the games was because I threw cable TV out of my house on August 3 of this year...(plus the fact that I work most nights). Spending that much money for something I hardly used...(plus the wasted time sitting in front of it when I did), wore my last nerve and I finally said enough. My TV has been dark since then and I don't miss it one bit. I am reading books again and listening to music and riding my bike and cooking and having time to pursue other projects...(I am replacing the headliner in my Jeep as we speak). I feel like a convict that has been released from prison, locked on my couch watching things that have no bearing on my life whatsoever... Eventually I will get something...(Netflix or Hulu or Amazon prime) but for now I am enjoying the freedom from the Idiot Box, Boob Tube, or whatever you want to call it. Plus, it will free up my writing time so that I can tell about other adventures rather than work...(Yuck!).
So onward and upward, dear Readers...It is now November and that means endless hours of Christmas music will be pumping into your ears when you go shopping...(I think I'll stay away from the malls until mid-January). Ciao for now!
