Allow me to set the scene.
The client I work for has a conference in Chicago this week so this means longer hours and lots of socializing. Which is cool, except when it's postseason Cardinals baseball.
4:00 game time. I fired up my MLB app and it didn't close until the game was over. This meant leaving it going during a StrengthsFinders presentation, walking to a Halloween store with a co-worker for something they needed for a surprise, & cocktail hour socializing all with my phone in my hand, glancing at my app.
When Adams hit his 3 run homer to put us up 3-2 I gasped (in the middle of someone's story about a coat). Then I had to explain myself and it was embarrassing.
Then I stepped to the side. (Justine, my co-worker, was next to me.)
Me: I have to see what happened.
Holliday singles. Peralta singles. Adams homer!
Justine: Oh, Lisa. Come on.
And she pulled me back into the crowd.
We won! We won! We advance on to the NLCS (National League Championship Series)!
I'm taking my Cardinals hat & sweatshirt to Savannah this weekend.
P.S. FYI: How the Cardinals became baseball’s best franchise
I know, I know, we're the most hated team in the playoffs because as our bartender Friday night said, "There's no real reason to hate them so it makes everyone hate them more."
Whatevs.
