Living near Detroit we’ve supported great teams in all sports. Yes even football though that might have been a long time ago. Right now we’re all focused on baseball and the World Series because, though our season had ups and downs, Detroit made it into the World Series! Really!! Sometimes we didn’t think it was going to happen; we chased the Chicago Cubs for what seemed like forever. Then we faced the New York Yankees, and because I’m no expert I was afraid. Historically I always felt the Yankees were big trouble. Turned out they were not…and here we are in the biggest series of the sport.
All along the way I said that if the Tigers could get to the World Series I’d be pleased….even proud of them, regardless of the outcome. But now we’re here, and down two games to none…and I’m trying to still feel that way. Hours before game three, the first game back here at home, I’m trying to feel optimistic.
I’m still proud of them. But darn it would be nice to win this one.

Dawn, it isn’t over. Third game tonight, and even then it won’t be over. You see? I am optimistic!

I’m cheering for them, although I get looks from husband when I get too enthusiastic. Anyone who hasn’t won the series for over 30 years deserves it to my way of thinking.

Yes we deserve it…but we have to earn it too….not looking good in the 5th inning.

And here I am in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the GIANTS! are in the world series, after two completely improbable title wins coming into it, and now two ahead. Fans here are stoked. That’s almost all I see on facebook while games are going on. I’m not a baseball fan and don’t watch the games, but even so, sorry, I can’t root for your Tigers. Because Giants will definitely take it in 4! 😉

Ellen’s *local* team won. I don’t really have a favorite, but hometown (or, well, homevicinity) is always nice. It actually would’ve been better to have a more competitive series, IMHO.

Sigh, we were rooting for the Tigers, but things look really bad for them.
Our favorite baseball teams. The Indians, the Red Birds and who ever is playing the Yankees.
