Rangers Season
Charlie became the Rangers #1 fan this season...
Patrick took him to 3 games this season and by the third Charlie wouldn't leave his seat to do anything because he was so fixated on the game. Everyday he would tell me he was going to hit baseballs, then crawl out the doggy door and hit baseballs off his little tee set for about 20 minutes before coming back in and to tell me about all of the home-runs he just made. Every night he asked to read his "baseball book" (aka. the Rangers program from a game) through which he literally memorized every Rangers player. (Mom, there's Wash, Ian Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz, etc.) By the last World Series game he was saying "Mom, there's Matt Harrison." He even said "Mom, Albert Puljols is scary. But, I like David Freese." What? Now we know the Cardinals players?? Too much.
Patrick and I also got to enjoy some games. We went to the ACLS Game 1 and stayed through the 2 rain delays to see the Rangers win against the Detroit Tigers.
And we got to go to the World Series Game 4. Such a great game to see in which the Rangers won after their blowout loss in Game 3. And, an awesome experience to see Derek Holland pitch such an outstanding game.
Even though the Rangers ended up losing the World Series (which was sort of like having a death in the family to Patrick), we had a great time watching their success this season. Until next year!

We were there. It was (not so) awesome.
I'm glad we went. I'm happy we got the experience. I'm not so happy about the outcome. Thanks Bob and Ann for taking us along.
I'm glad you and brother Meeks got to experience a win on Saturday night!
It was neat seeing Lyle Lovett perform. 
It was surreal seeing not one, but two, ex-presidents throw out the first pitch.
Hi George and George.
The kid who dressed up like Ron Washington was awesome.
Unfortunately, the game was a let down. But, the Rangers had such a great season and it truly is remarkable that they made it to the World Series!! Unbelievable.

And... this year might have actually made me a baseball fan... which I know Patrick will be thrankful for for years to come. Way to go Rangers!

We were there. It was AWESOME!
Patrick and I scored Rangers tickets on Friday night. Thank you Bob Allen! We, somehow, ended up with all 4 tickets, so our good friends Paul and Carrie Greer met us there. Despite the rainy start, the game was super fun and in the end... Rangers WON and secured their spot in the World Series against the Giants.
Patrick rarely cries. When we got engaged? Nope. Wedding day? Nada. Birth of our first child. Again, nothing. Shedding tears when the Rangers win against the yankees?... Check! And, with good reason. Check it out:
We stayed for about an hour after the game was over. Here are some shots of the celebration.
Check out the Greer's post for a more detailed summary of the night. It was truly amazing. I still can't believe it happened! Good luck to the Rangers in tomorrow nights game and throughout the World Series!!
