Tired and Cranky
I spent a long weekend in NYC and would be in a much better mood right now if my flight home hadn't been delayed. You know, that sucks how things work. Overall, I had a pretty good vacation but found myself in a sour mood getting off the plane and returning home. But there's no good way to look at dealing with a delayed flight.
With that being said, I'm gonna need a couple days to get my vacation pics organized and will wait to talk about my vacation when those are ready to go up. In the meantime, let me just blow off some steam and take this time to vent.
On my long flight home last night, I saw game 2 of the ALCS between Texas and Detroit. Did anyone else see that game? It was pretty awesome. The game was tied through the bottom of the 11th when Cruz came up, with the bases loaded, and hit a grand slam to end the game in breathtaking fashion. I couldn't help but let out a shout of excitement on the plane, which apparently, scared the kid sitting in front of me. Whoopsy. But yeah, since I'm rooting for Texas to take the World Series...it was a pretty great game to see.
Now, let me do some ranting. As excited as I was to enjoy the game last night...while I was on a plane...watching it on tv...with my headphones on, I was mildly pissed and stewing that the game that I saw in person...in Arlington, at Ranger Stadium, surrounded by Texas fans, wasn't nearly as exciting, or even remotely close, to the game last night. I mean, Texas barely put up a fight with their 9-0 lose against Tampa Bay a couple weeks ago and had a difficult enough time getting anyone on base much less to score. I would've just been happy with a couple exciting moments at my game, much less hoping for an entire game of heart stopping action. So why couldn't the game that I saw in Texas be that exciting? Answer me that.
Never mind that I thoroughly enjoyed exploring their stadium...or that I saw 2 other awesome games...or that I had an awesome vacation entirely. I'm still bitter about that Rangers game and the performance they put up during my visit. Well...this could just be my crankiness talking this morning...but this is something that I've been stewing about.
