Since I'm not one of the lucky ones to be going to the Twins game tonight, I have opted to spend my night at the local sports bar. To most this may seems like a lame thing to do, but I was talking to a co-worker this morning and spelled it out for them as to why watching the first playoff game at a bar is so exciting to me. For you, I shall do the same:
In my opinion, there is nothing more magical than being at a sports arena with howling fans every time your team does something good. If you can't be there, then the next best thing is a sports bar. Why? Because you are still surrounded by fans. When there is a home-run or a touchdown, everyone goes BUCK WILD! While being at a bar may be distracting to some, it's a great experience for others; people watching, drinking or not, eating, and enjoying the game all at the same time!
There is nothing more exciting to me than giving high-fives to complete strangers who share my excitement... and there is a lot to be said about the good sport fans that cheer for the opposing teams while you heckle them.
Again, since I can't go to the game - I'll be cheering the Twins along from my barstool along with a handful of other Twins fans!
Lastly, Randy Moss is a Minnesota Viking again - and I think this is great news!
Go Twins and Go Vikings - it could be a magical year for the players and fans alike!
It's definately a great day to be a Minnesotan!! With Moss, I think the Vikings are going to kick butt on Monday night ;-) And go Twins, you can beat those Yankees!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and stop by my blog because I have a new site where everyone is listing their current location. We already have 5 people from MN... we need some more! Go MN!!
Thanks dear!! I know there are a ton of us out there, I just don't know who we all are. Do you know anyone else from MN?
ReplyDeleteOh, and Love your I don't text and drive commitment!!
Eh... I don't care so much about the Vikings. But GO TWINS! I'm in the middle of watching Criminal Minds but Dustin keeps yelling out the score for me, hehe.
ReplyDeleteI watched the game from a bar last night too and it is exciting when everyone is cheering when the Twins do something good. I'll be at the game tonight so I hope for better results tonight!
