Matt and I drove to Waco last night to hear the Waco Jazz Orchestra. Matt's brother, Josh, plays in it and had a couple of solos. The show was songs by Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, and they had a guest singer. The singer was pretty good, but he had nothin' on Frank. ;-) The show was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it! We got updates on the game during intermission, along with an update or two from the jazz orchestra director throughout the show.
As soon as we got in the car to head home, we found the game on the radio. The station kept going out along the way but, with the help of my parents, we were able to find stations that were carrying the game. We lost the last station just seconds after the game ended! Listen. I know people used to have to listen to that stuff on the radio all the time... but that was absolutely excruciating. At one point, when the Rangers really needed a hit, the announcer said, "He hits the ball right to the pitcher, the pitcher can't grab it but it bounces to the second baseman, he bobbles it, picks it up, throws it to first, BUT THE RUNNER IS SAFE!" Oh my goodness... Matt and I were freaking out. It is so difficult to follow when you can't SEE what is going on!
This series has been stressful, to say the least. We're looking forward to game 6 tomorrow, and hopefully the first ever World Series title for the Texas Rangers!
