Blind Hearted Love & Faith

Recently posted on Twitter that I was going to give this blog thing a try. Low and behold I already had a  blog set up...

So here I am, sitting in a ballroom...they are teaching a group to use basic apps on iPhone & iPad that can help their non profit groups to be more relatable to younger generations...but let's talk about something else.

Did anyone see the Mariner's game yesterday? If you follow me on Twitter (@soundtechdez) you know I did not. I was here in this ballroom with no internet and wonky phone service. I had to rely on Twitter for all updates on the game. I was going crazy!

I am passionate about my sports and my teams. My coworkers think I'm nuts, yesterday was no exception. We arrived at the hotel at 9am to load in a show. Come 12:20 my phone notified me that the game was going to be starting soon.

All morning my phone had been going off with text messages from different people asking if I was going to or at the game. I had been there Monday and Tuesday. Once the game started I started receiving the messages "did you see that'... Morales juggling catch into the crowd for example. atmlb.com/13GmaHH  Right around the time that the meeting was getting into full swing was when the game should have been wrapping up, but wait... let's go into extra innings!!!!

Let's jump to the 14th inning... Chicago puts 5 on the board. One of the RBI's credited to former Mariner Casper Wells. Tweeps are posting that they no longer like him. 5 runs in extra innings you'd think it was over, but no. Mariners post 5 runs as well. "Hey did you see the Seager's Grand Slam?!?!" atmlb.com/10RihRD 

Meeting ends at the top of the 15th...Coworkers walk over to my control table and ask what's up and are shocked to hear the game is still going. We hang out watching my time line to see what happens...

Seattle loses to Chicago in 16 innings 7-5

Ask any Mariners fan's how they fell about yesterdays game and I believe you'll get something along the lines of having their heart being ripped out and in pieces on the floor.

Having only experienced the game via tweets and text, while sitting in a ballroom unable to show emotion, I was on the ledge. Information on what was going on through out the game couldn't come through quick enough on my phone. During the 14th I was bouncing in my chair. Luckily the meeting was rowdy and I went unnoticed. But in the end I was completely deflated. Speechless.

The Mariners captured my heard decades ago, and I don't foresee getting it back.
