Baseball Baseball Baseball!!!!!

Holly, Ryan's sister came down last Monday to hangout with us and go to a Twins game vs. the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago on Wednesday. The seats we had were GREAT! We were so close to the field, it's definitely the closest I've ever been at a baseball game. 1st base line, 14 rows up! We seriously could have walked straight onto the field...it was awesome. Then the game started. Of course we went to the game to cheer for the Twins because we were definitely not gonna cheer for the Sox anyway. It was fun until the 4th inning when the Twin's gave up 7 runs. In one of the following innings the Twins scored, so we stood to cheer...and some stupid Sox fans threw peanuts at us (like three times). Granted I have always heard Sox fans to be Jerks, but seriously... Then, the game ended and Twins lost (which was definitely sad), so as we were walking back to our car to go home, people continued to give us crap and use choice words against the Twins. This is what put me over the edge to "Absolutely Despise " the Sox. If the Sox would have lost, I think I could have taken the crap...but come on...they won the game and still felt the need to be royal jerks. It will be my life goal to cheer for whichever team is playing against the Sox.

Although we weren't able to go to the game on Thursday, it was AMAZING to listen to. If you didn't hear...the Twin's beat the Sox 20-1. Holly, Ryan and I said it would have been so much fun to be at that game, but with the way Sox fans are when they win, I'm not sure we would have made it out alive! I for sure would have been scared for my life. Even though I am a Seattle Mariners fan, it was so satisfying for the Twins to beat the Sox!

You might ask, "how can you cheer for the Twins if you are a Mariner fan?" well since my husband and his entire family are Twins fans, I came to the decision that I can cheer for the Twins so long as they are not playing against the Mariners. So if by chance it comes down to the Mariners vs. Twins in the AL playoffs, Ryan and I won't be on speaking terms during the duration of the series.

We came up to Minnesota for Memorial Day weekend, and today we are going to go to the Metrodome to see the Twins play again. This time we will be surrounded by fans that like us...that will be NICE!!! Hopefully the Twins can pull out a win again!!!
