I've been missing me some baseball. This summer just felt really off not even watching a game since I've been here. Sure I've caught clips of things or watched gamecast on ESPN.com or MLB.com, but that just hasn't been the same. I tried to find some streaming feeds a 0200 this morning to get the Twins VS Yankees game and none of the sites I had been using were working. I was already awake and had gone to bed at 2100 so I could get up for this, so what was I supposed to do, go back to bed? Wrong.
I caved in and bought the MLB Playoffs Package so I can watch the playoffs live from my computer. I am so glad I made that call. I'm sitting in the middle of the 5th inning watching the Twins take the lead earlier in the game against the Yankees and CC Sebathia. I've only had a few issues with the streaming so far, and I'm pumped to keep watching and finishing up my homework for class this morning.
I have to say, though, I miss this. I miss watching this game. The game's back on, so it's back to that. Man the internet is awesome. Let's go Twins!

We're Gonna Win Twins!
As I'm still trying to put something up every day, this is going to be my post for tomorrow, for during Yom Kippur, although it has nothing to do with the Holy Day.
Instead, it is more about my other fall ritual; September Baseball!
It is really difficult to follow the Twins Baseball Club from Israel. I have been listening to ESPN's Baseball Today, occasional podcasts from KFAN, and checking the Minnesota Twins website. But it's not the same as being home, I just miss the atmosphere of people caring about baseball.
It's also hard to track their magic number. Right now, it's sitting at 8. This means that any combination of 8 Twins wins and/or 8 White Sox losses and the Twins will have clinched winning the American League Central Division. They're chasing the Yankees and the Rays for the best record in the American League which would give them the Home Field Advantage in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
Don't get me wrong, Israel is great and I'm loving classes. I've got great friends here, but this is just a fall event that I really miss. Then, today I got an email from Kaitlin's mom with a bunch of pictures. Back in August, Kaitin, Judy and my mom all went to a ball game. It put a huge smile on my face to get this picture!
