The Play by Play

So I have this funny thing that I do with my dad that I was really never consciously aware of until tonight when I was watching the ASU game (which was a total bust, by the way). We always seem to text one another whenever there's a game on, and continue to offer color commentary between the two of us for the duration of the games...commentary, or smiley's-my dad likes to reply in smiley's. It usually starts when something good happens for the hometown team and one of us will text the other something resembling this:

"OWWWWWW!!"

(Usually means touchdown, homerun...anything totally awesome) 

Tonight while we were texting during the ASU game, my phone accidentally skipped to earlier conversations and I started to scroll through and read them and thought they were both funny and illustrative of this habit we have. So I thought I'd share:

(I just want to preface this one and say it was the game when Ryan Roberts hit a walk off grand slam in the 10th inning after going down 6 runs in the 9th)

Rissa: Are you watching this game???

Gary King: I quit in the tenth when LA went up by one due to a passed ball.  Unbeleivable comeback

(Can you tell when our defense started to go down the tubes tonight?)

Gary King: Hey hey 7-0 to start !!! Better then the other way
