Talking with the sports news anchor

So my roommate from college, Kristina Perez, works at a news station. (I know...its freakin awesome isnt it!) I came down to visit her this weekend and she had to work, so I was hangin out at the station with her. Which is also freakin awesome! We had just got back from her lunch break when we walked in and the Cardinals vs Astros game was on. Mind you I am in SW Louisiana, AKA Astros territory. The Cards were up 4 to 1 so I responded automatically with joyous glee then I realized what I had done. I had just announced my enthusiasm for my team to the sports news anchor of the station, who is an avid Houston fan. What else could I do but rub it in his face a little, after all I had already "stepped in it." So there I was talkin baseball babble with Garrett the sports guy (who would have ever thought?). We finished our conversation and watch the rest of the game while everyone prepared for the 10 o'clock news, where of course he had to announce that the Astros lost to the Cardinals. I wonder if he was thinkin about this crazy Cardinals fan while making his report? Regardless I guess its just another one of those random opportunities that you never know about until they happen. Life is good like that. PS Thanks Cardinals for winning so I didn't have to look like a fool.
