She said, "I know a town where real life's a game

Baseball's all that's real
At night all the faces light up
As the HEROES take the field"

This is my mantra for the next three days until tickets go on sale. I am going to try for one ticket to the second game in Denver, so that would be the fourth game played. Might be the night The Rockies will will the World Series. Right now in this town, Baseball is what is really real. No one is talking about the Broncos that will be playing the Steelers this weekend. No one is even mentioning that the Nuggets start soon (that's our NBA team) and i have not heard word one about the Aves yet...
this is a BASEBALL town..
So, last week they changed the rules for buying tickets. There was, at first, going to be a lottery line that fans could get in and then see if they get a number close to the one called that will start the line. A lot like what they started doing for Phish tickets toward the end. But now they say that everyone has to go online to get the tickets. So, at 10am 50,000 fans will be swarming that site to get their hands on either a very great investment or a chance of a lifetime to see a World Series game played in out back yard.
(hopefully not once in a life time if we can hang on to the line-up over the off season- but you know what I mean).
I am not sure what i am going to do. I had some sudden expenses that have come up that might keep me from being able to afford one ticket. So we will have to see on monday what i can do.
I started to relax the last several days and even was able to sleep a little the last few nights, but that will all be gone sunday night again.
HOW FREAKING EXCITING!!!!
GO ROCKIES!!!
