Fan Depreciation Night
Thursday, June 18, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 15 Marlins 2, Red Sox 1, 5 innings When I went to Tuesday’s game, I noticed as the attendance was announced that it was the 499th consecutive sellout at Fenway Park. As luck would have it, I missed Wednesday’s game, in which there were several fan appreciation […]
Having a Ball at the Game
Tuesday, June 16, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 32 Red Sox 8, Marlins 2 After the sweep of the Yankees, the Red Sox took two of three in a brief road trip to Philadelphia, and then returned home to face the Marlins. I was back at Fenway for the first game of the series. It […]
They Should All Be Like This
Tuesday, June 9, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 37 Red Sox 7, Yankees 0 After an off-day Monday, I was back for the next game on Tuesday. And while the weather had been hot and I was tanning in the bleachers over the weekend, it couldn’t have been more different by Tuesday night. It had […]
For the Birds
Sunday, June 7, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Rangers 6, Red Sox 3 The Red Sox returned from a long but successful 6-4 road trip tied with the Yankees for first place. They split the first two games of the series against the Rangers, including a gem in which Jon Lester took a perfect […]
Upon Further Review
Sunday, May 24, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 37 Red Sox 12, Mets 5 The Red Sox finished up a sweep of the Blue Jays, but then dropped the first two games to the Mets. The second game was particularly frustrating. Josh Beckett had pitched 8 strong innings and left with a 2-1 lead. Jonathan […]
Welcome Back, Big Papi
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 34 Red Sox 8, Blue Jays 3 After wrapping up the weekend with a win against the Rays, the Red Sox headed to the West Coast. They dropped two of three to the Angels, including a 12-inning heartbreaker in which David Ortiz went 0-for-7 and left 12 […]
Let’s Change the Subject
Saturday, May 9, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 41 Rays 14, Red Sox 5 After the exciting 12-run sixth inning barrage on Thursday, the Sox followed with another come-from-behind victory on Friday. I was back Saturday afternoon for a matchup of young lefties, Jon Lester vs. Scott Kazmir. With the nice weather and a weekend […]
Keep the Line Moving (And Moving)
Thursday, May 7, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Red Sox 13, Indians 3 It was cool to have tickets for two games in a row at Fenway. It always makes me feel like a season ticket holder. (I do have a 10-game plan, and that’s where my seats were tonight, but those are spread […]
A Forgettable Night
Wednesday, May 6, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 41 Indians 9, Red Sox 2 Since this was a weeknight game and I was coming from work, I wasn’t able to get there early enough for batting practice, but I did just make the cutoff for the half-price Family Hour food. I was happy to see […]
A Perfect 10
Sunday, April 26, 2009 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Red Sox 4, Yankees 1 It’s safe to say the first two games of the Red Sox/Yankees series were epic battles. Friday night featured a ninth-inning game-tying homer off Mariano Rivera by Jason Bay and an eleventh inning game-winner by (as I have dubbed him) the […]
