Quick sports post...three awesome sports things I am following right now...
One, Go Cougars! Evergreen boys soccer is heading into the boys soccer playoffs with a great record, and ought to get a top seed. Looking forward to a deep run into the playoffs! Best wishes to Ross and all the boys as they try to get that championship!
Two, Lets Go Mets! A lifelong Mets fan, I am so excited for the Mets first World Series since 2000. I have found a bar that is showing all of the games, live, and may get a bad reputation around town for spending so much time in the middle of the day in a bar...but, hey, the Mets only make it this far every so often, and have only won the Series once in my lifetime.
And last, Go All Blacks! The All Blacks (NZ's national rugby team) face South Africa in the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup this Sunday at 3:30 AM NZ time (pretty sure the game is on early morning in the US Saturday) but this is a big deal here and I plan to worsen my reputation around town by dropping by the same bar in the middle of the night to watch the All Blacks take another step toward defending their World Cup title, and perhaps have a beer as well : )
Lauryn just read this post before I published and said, "Dad, four in the morning? You're going to have beer?" OK, Coca-Cola it is...but go All Blacks!
Hope everyone is well!
UPDATE!!! The All Blacks beat South Africa this morning and are on to the Finals next weekend, against the winner of Australia and Argentina! If you do get a chance to watch the game...make sure you are in time to watch the very opening. Minutes before the match starts, New Zealand does the traditional Haka on the field, in front of the opposing team. Specially since rugby is somewhat of a mystery to me...this is my favorite part of the match! Haha. Very intimidating, very loud, it sets the tone for the team in their days' match.
