Playoff update

As I mentioned  before the Reno Aces have won the Pacific North division title and are in the Pacific Coast League playoffs.  I may not have been that specific, but I did mention their playoff berth.  They met up with the Sacramento River Cats yesterday (Wednesday, the 5th) in Sacramento and came away with a 3-1 win on the road.  They are behind 1-0 right now in game two and I'm on the edge of my seat as my husband reads a play by play to me while I blog and look at new real estate listings.  (Life is good!)

Even more exciting is that they are coming back to the Aces Ballpark tomorrow night at 7:05. We're trying to decide which tickets to buy...the great seats we've had before or try a new section.  I'm tellin' you - there's not a bad seat in the house and it is very cool to get the different perspectives.

I'm a little jealous that Sacramento has a mascot that actually is a River Cat.  Even though I have no idea what a river cat is.  And even though his name is Dinger.  Our mascot is Archie.  He's a mound with a glove.  Our friend jokes that he looks like a polyp and I have to agree.  But he's growing on me.  (I guess that's what polyps do!)  I suspect that's because the poor soul is housed in that furry costume puts his heart into his job.  He is energetic, gets the crowd pumped up and really engages the fans (especially the kids). Even in this picture that I took from a wall above the outfield warning track a half hour before game time he looked up and waved.  He might be a polyp, but he's MY polyp!
