World Series: Watching it the old-fashioned way

Last night was game number 2 of what is looking like a pretty tough ride for our Colorado Rockies. After two games in Beantown, the boys are coming home to play here on Saturday and Sunday ... and they'll do just fine up at altitude, thank you very much!

We tried to watch the game on TV .... but the antenna just couldn't pick it up. Very kind and wonderful friends invited us over to watch on their cable-enhanced TV .... but dh was having sinus-issues and my boys were exhausted so we opted to stay home.

Solution?

Put the stereo dial on AM850 and listen to the game the old-fashioned way. And even though our boys lost, my boys (and String Bean calmly knitting away) so enjoyed listening to the game while playing quietly. It was so fun for all! The radio broadcast is much more exciting -- lots of background noise, great "color" by the sportscasters, and no "bad" commercials to mute! What more could you want?
Well, for LegoManiac, he needed a pictorial of the game so he could keep track of hits, outs and overall score:
