Oh boy, what a ride it’s been with the Diamondbacks this season! I’ve been following them since, well, forever, and this playoff run has been something else. Let me walk you through what I’ve been doing to keep up and really soak it all in.
Getting Hyped and Staying Informed
First things first, I started by making sure I was in the loop. No missing games for this guy!
- I subscribed to every D-backs newsletter I could find. Gotta get those updates straight to my inbox!
- I followed all their social media accounts. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook – you name it, I’m on it. The behind-the-scenes stuff is gold.
- I Checked several sports apps for the schedules! I made sure I had it all sorted out so I don’t miss out!
Game Day Rituals
Okay, so information is crucial, but game day? That’s a whole different beast. Here’s how I prepared:
- Wear the Gear: I’m talking jersey, hat, the whole nine yards. Gotta represent! Even if I’m just watching at home, I’m dressed for battle.
- Get Friends in on It: If possible, the more, the merrier! Whether it’s at my place or a bar, watching with fellow fans cranks up the energy.
- Snacks and Drinks: Game day means serious snacking. We’re talking wings, chips, dips, the works. And, of course, a few cold ones to keep the spirits high.
During the Game
Now, during the game, it’s all about staying locked in and, let’s be honest, probably yelling at the TV a bit.
- Live Tweeting: I love firing off some thoughts during the game on Twitter. It’s fun to see what other fans are saying and, you know, vent a little when things get tense.
- Stayed Positive (Mostly): Baseball is a rollercoaster. There are highs and lows, and it’s easy to get caught up in the moment. I tried to keep the faith, even when they were down.
Celebrating (or Consoling)
Win or lose, there’s a post-game routine, too.
- Recap: I hit up the sports sites and blogs to read the game summaries and player interviews. Get all the angles.
- Celebrate/Mourn: Depending on the outcome, it’s either time to celebrate with fellow fans online or, well, console each other and look forward to the next game.
It’s been an incredible run, and I am excited to be there to support them! Go D-Backs!
