This has been a bit of a sports holiday as well. First there was the Eagles game which was interesting. There has also been the build up to the World Series, with the Detroit Tigers playing the NY Yankees and the St Louis Cardinals playing the NY Mets. So Joe has been following that as well.<\/p>\n
So tonight we go for a Japanese meal and end up at the sports bar next door watching the 7th and final game between the Cardinals and Mets; with very loud Cardinals fans next to us. This game is tied until the final inning when the Cardinals get a couple of runs ahead. The Mets end up with a person on every base, but two outs. It was a bit exciting in the bar and when the Cardinals won, well, it went a bit crazy. So now it’s the Cardinals vs the Tigers for the World Series and Joe is wondering if he can stay and watch it.<\/p>\n
I might be ready to go home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
