Take Me Out
Woohoo, I got to go to Fenway last night. The Red Sox were even playing the Yankees. It was a chilly evening (fortunately I was dressed appropriately), but the cold didn't prevent me from enjoying a Sports Bar early in the game.
The beginning and end of the game were exciting (the middle dragged a bit). Most of the scoring was done by the fourth inning.
Mike Lowell moments before hitting a solo homer in the third inning.
The ending was very exciting. The lead at one point had been 6-3. Back to back Yankee homers in the seventh narrowed the lead to 6-5. Jonathon Papelbon closed the game for victory with a very exciting ninth inning. Final score: Boston wins 6-5.
Just in: The Sox sweep the Yankees by winning tonight's game 4-3. Chilmark Girl was at this one.
Top of the ninth. Papelbon takes the mound to bring us home.

Very cool. Reminds me of going with my little brother, from the Big Brother program in Los Angeles, and seeing the Angels and Dodgers play at their respective stadiums. Baseball is so much more live than it is on TV. We have a minor league team near us that I'm looking forward to taking the 8 and 6 year old to here soon.
Man am I jealous. It was fun to watch on TV, but there's nothing like being at Fenway - especially for a Yankees game that the Sox win. I'm sure the place was insane when Papelbon came in in the ninth - rocking away to "Shipping up to Boston"
Cool. And nice that the Sox won!
Why do I dislike baseball players? They are always hitting Homers.
how odd not to see bugs or buterflies, but baseball.
Do you know how to keep score at a game?
Doug, Gus says you are his new best friend!
