Who Needs Busch Stadium?

I tried to get tickets. Not w/the same zeal that I might have tried in the past (maybe i really am getting old?), but they were all sold out. Every game of the World Series (played in St. Louis) was sold out--ok, i even checked out tickets in detroit--only 640 miles from Columbia, nothing on a day like this! ha! Well, and the cheapest ticket (in Detroit) was approx. $150. . . OIY! Even Friday day I was so tempted to just get Caelleb and Bryndyn in the car and go scalp tickets. . . Well, thanks to my technology savvy husband, we had our own "stadium" seats. . . Who needs Busch stadium when you can be in the comfort of your own home. It was a LOT warmer in our house. The food was a LOT cheaper. We didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for parking or fight the crowds. . . OK, who am I kidding, I SOOOOOO would have LOVED to have been in Busch Stadium on Friday to watch the Cardinals beat the Tigers. Big sigh. . . BUT I've got to say that the "set up" in our living room was pretty awesome!!!!! Bryn brought his projector home from his classroom and he projected the game onto the back wall of our living room! Yes, we are a little fanatical about baseball, but at least we can admit it! :)
