I related my major massive news<\/a> yesterday. As this is the first time I’ve watched the whole World Series, I figured I’d make it the subject of the Quick Takes.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 1 —<\/strong><\/p>\n OMG GAME SIX!!!!!!!<\/strong> I was hoping the Cardinals would pull it out of the bag but I never expected them to go into two extra innings, for so many errors to be committed early in the game, and for so many runs to happen in the last innings. It was freaking INSANITY.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/strong><\/p>\n Derek Holland is from the town where Jon did his pastoral internship.<\/strong> When we discovered this, we started playing “6 Degrees of Separation”. We think that he probably had some of Jon’s parishioners at the internship site as teachers. I don’t remember hearing about him when I was there but I also didn’t follow high school sports because none of our kids played anything.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/strong><\/p>\n We’ve been trying to figure out who the MVP will be.<\/strong> For the Rangers, we’re thinking Derek Holland and possibly Mike Napoli or maybe Neftali Feliz. For St. Louis, it would be Albert Pujols, Lance Berkman, or David Freese. I’ll be interested to see whether I’m right.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/strong><\/p>\n I’m rooting for the Cardinals as the Rangers used to be owned by our former president and I am trying not to hold that against them.<\/strong> It would be a nice thing if Texas won because they never have but I’m glad that St. Louis is giving them a run for their money. Both teams seem to be equally matched so it’s been fun to watch.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/strong><\/p>\n Game 4 on Sunday was pretty impressive.<\/strong> Derek Holland should really get the MVP honors if the Rangers win. He pitched 8 1\/3 innings which is hugely impressive and he shut out the Cardinals. It will be interesting to follow his career because he’s only 25 and has some of the best years to come.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/strong><\/p>\n I was a little perturbed at a St. Louis fan.<\/strong> One of the Rangers players was retrieving a ball that had gone into the stands and a St. Louis player called out, “you missed it!” I honestly wouldn’t have blamed the Rangers player for throwing a punch and it showed class on the part of the Rangers player that he didn’t respond back. Seriously dude (referring to the fan), learn some manners.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/strong><\/p>\n I’ll be in San Jose with my parents tomorrow and am hoping to be able to watch the game.<\/strong> My parents aren’t big sports fans and I’m hoping we can have the game on so I can listen. If tonight is any indication, it should be an awesome game.<\/p>\n **UPDATE**<\/strong> For more Quick Takes, visit Jen at ConversionDiary.Com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I related my major massive news yesterday.

\nI got to watch the game with my mom (a rare bonding thing for us because my parents aren’t into sports and we were happy to see St. Louis win. It was a great series and I do feel some pangs for Texas because it would have been cool to watch them get their first win. David Freese was the MVP (called it!) and it was, I think, even cooler because he’s a hometown boy.<\/p>\n
