If?
Ifs and buts
were fruits and nuts
we'de all have a
Merry Christmas.
AND
What if?
What if frogs had wings?
Then they wouldn't bump their butt everytime they hopped!
Well back when the Cardinals were 0 and 10 in August I said
"Wouldn't it be cool if the Cards were in the World Series with the Rangers?"
Most everybody laughed at me, even the ones that are "rooting for the Cards now"! (Fair weather fans!)
Then they had to play the Phillies.
I said... "Yup they will win and play the Rangers!"
I was told "There is no way the Cards can beat the Phillies!"
(We know how that one turned out!)
Then the NLCS came and once again I said "Cards are going to win and play the Rangers in the Series!"
Again I was laughed at.
(Who's laughing now?)
I dragged my family to about 10 games this year.
The only one that didn't complain was H!
So, I said "If the Cards play the Rangers in the World Series, then Hannah and I are going to go!"
Game 1 of the Series I said "This is going to go 7 games and the Rangers will win by 1!"
I was able to score 2 tickets to Game 4 on ebay! When G found out how much I paid for EACH he decided that H should definetly go with me instead of him. (LOL!)
We had a blast!
In fact, we had so much fun I came home and looked on StubHub for tickets to Game 6 & 7. Sunday evening there were tickets available on StubHub for a little over the $175 face value. That's right folks there were seats available for $225!! (A LOT LESS than what I paid for Game 4!)
I seriously contimplated it. I thought we could go and visit all our friends and family while we're there!
Then I decided to "sit on it".
Last night I looked again... this time the Standing Room Only tickets were $450 EACH!!
Ifs and Buts!!!
If
I had bought the tickets I would be in St. Louis right now!!
If
I had placed a wager in Vegas in August I would probably be watching the game from some ALL INCLUSIVE resort with my buddies!
But
Now here we are a few short hours away from Game 7 of the World Series and instead of getting ready at a friend's house and driving to the stadium OR sitting on a beach somewhere, I am getting ready to drive to the school to pick up my 5 kids!
I think for dinner we might have some fruit and nuts..... Oh What if???
GO RANGERS!!
