I'm in a Pickle

Well the rain delay of Wednesday nights game 6 and the subsequent miraculous win of last nights game has put me in a pickle.  Given my new found love of baseball and the inexplicable dedication I have shown to this post season, I absolutely MUST watch the final game.  I have to show my support.  Here is where the problem lies.  Several months ago I purchased tickets to go see the musical "Wicked" in Peoria.  My mom is travelling all the way up here to come and see it with me so I certainly cannot cancel those plans.  But what is a guy to do?  Do I follow the game during the show, via my Iphone?  I'm sure my friends will keep me up to date with copious amounts of play by play action on Twitter and Facebook.  Or, do I record the game and somehow avoid all human/Internet contact until I can watch the game. 

I probably would not be able to even watch the game until tomorrow evening.  That is, unless I just don't sleep tonight and I watch the game after I get home at midnight!  I'm so conflicted!

I think I am leaning towards the plan of making a valiant attempt at avoiding all contact with others and trying to watch the game for myself. I just can't handle the thought of watching nearly every post season game and then missing the final game. So here is the plan.

- I am first going to disable all notifications on my phone.  This way if someone posts on my wall on Facebook, I wont accidentally see what happened.
- Actually, I should probably just turn my phone off all together.  If you need me after 7pm tonight, you had better just call Breanne.
- I will not sign into any social media of any kind after 7 pm this evening until I have watched the game.
- During intermission and while leaving the theater tonight I will have my fingers firmly placed into my ear canals as to avoid overhearing any passing conversations concerning the outcome of the game.
- I will not listen to the radio or television at all tonight or tomorrow!
- We are going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow with my mom and also briefly visiting friends.  They will be under STRICT advisement to NOT tell me what happened!  This means you Wheelers!

If anyone texts or calls to tell me what happened I will be SOOOO upset, so don't anyone ruin it for me!  Seriously... I will learn a deadly form hand to hand contact and bring to your face!  Don't tempt me!

I really think I may just end up staying up tonight because I don't think I could handle the stress of the day tomorrow not knowing and worrying that someone was going to tell me.  All it would take is one person saying "How bout them Cardinals!" and all will be ruined.  I can see myself observing everyone at the pumpkin patch wearing Cardinals gear and analyzing what it all means!  Are they wearing their shirts in celebration or as an act of solidarity supporting the incredible season?  I'm already stressed about this and it hasn't even happened yet!

Wish me luck!  And seriously... bodily harm will ensue if you ruin it for me!

Go CARDS!!!!!!!!
