Saturday night as we sat on the couch and watched the Rangers lose game 3 in the ALDS, a tiny bit of me was glad they were losing. (A very tiny bit! I really would have preferred they swept the Rays!) But their loss meant a game 4 on Sunday, to which we quickly snapped up tickets on StubHub.
I have never been in a crowd like that. IT WAS SO FUN. Playoff crowds yell louder, clap harder, and boo angrier. All things I love. There was just so much energy.

I would have loved for them to do it yesterday while we were there, but I'm just so glad we got a chance to go to a play-off game. We're going to spend the next 20 years in Washington, DC, and I don't think we're going to get many October games up there!
