Three Post Thursday....Post 1

I am opting for a three post Thursday today because I have a few things I want to share and they're not on the same topics.  Topic 1 (because, well because I'm me) HOC-KEY!!!  My Redwings have now officially clinched a berth in the play offs.  So to all of the naysayers who said that there was no way, I say "Pflllllllllt!" (<----- That's me blowing a raspberry).  Four more days and I can fill out my bracket on NHL.com.  While I love my team, I also respect the sport enough to be honest: they're not winning the Stanley Cup this year.  They made a tremendous run but I would probably dance naked in the streets of Denver if they actually pulled it off.  It's just not their year for it.  Does that mean I won't strut in my jersey during their games?  Hell no!  Of course I'll be walking around in my jersey, supporting my team.  I also wear my Avs jersey and support them because there is something to be said for supporting the team you live by. 

In other sports news, I missed my team (the White Sox) being in town to play my other team (The Rockies...yes I'm allowed to love both..one's AL, one's NL).  The game I wanted to go to (Tuesday's), we won 15-3.  The other two games, we got owned.  Do I want to kick and scream for missing a once every four year chance?  Yes.  Guess that just means that I need to take a trip back home and go to my first White Sox game...in their home stadium.  Enticing thought.  (Hate being a broke mama sometimes but they're worth it. )  Aside from a bit of bitterness at missing it, I'm really eager to see how this season goes.  There are only two series I give a crap about winning hard core...White Sox vs Cubs (it's a Chicago thing) and White Sox vs Tigers (because I LOATHE the Tigers).

Finally, there's the news that the pre season brings a rematch between the Superbowl Contenders.  Prepare yourself, Seahawks...it's gonna be ugly. We're coming out swinging.

My final little nugget of information is this....I may have to buckle and get cable again.  Yes, I've been loving the fact that I have a lower bill every month but man alive, not getting to watch the sports I want without going out sucks.  I'm about to lose my mind missing all of the hockey I've been missing.  I'd much rather yell at the TV in the privacy of my own home than a bar.
