Let's go, Rangers (Clap, Clap, ClapClapClap!)

Tonight, we went to the ballpark.  I love the ballpark.  It's one of the most beautiful sports facilities I have ever seen.  Now, I haven't exactly traveled the world looking at sports facilities, but the ballpark in Arlington (whatever it's called from one season to the next, depending on who paid for naming rights) is absolutely gorgeous.  It is more than just a grassy space to play ball; it is an elaborate palace built to honor the game of baseball. 

I don't know the last time I went to a baseball game.  I can't remember the last time I participated in the wave.  It was a blast.  I even busted out a Rangers baseball cap that I honestly don't remember buying. 

The Rangers had a 5-0 lead going into the 9th inning, but I have seen games where one team scored seven runs in an inning, so you never leave until the victory is certain.  This was one of those games I was glad we stuck out.  In the top of the 9th, it got pretty tense.  The Twins rallied and managed to score four runs.  When the last out was imminent, we were all on our feet.  When it happened, the place erupted in cheers.  It was a good one. 

Cas and I had a great time.  I haven't had a dull moment with him yet.  Every time we do something, it's pretty great.  We have plans tomorrow to go to my cousin Holly's house and bum around by the pool.  Holly and Jason have been hosting a really sweet foreign exchange student from Finland this year, and tomorrow is a going away party for her.  Cas met her during Memorial Day weekend, so he should definitely go and say bon voyage.  I know I should.  Janina is a sweet girl, and I think it may be just a little quiet over at their house when she goes home.  I'm sure they'll stay in touch, though.  If she had lived in my house for a year, I would want to know what her next moves are. 

That's it for me, though.  I am the kind of happy-tired that has been my standard feeling at the close of many days lately.  G'night, all.
