All’s Well That Ends Well
Sunday, August 1, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 36 Red Sox 4, Tigers 3 It had been two weeks since my last game at Fenway, and somehow the Red Sox had managed to go 6-4 on a tough 10-game west coast road trip. When they returned home, they split the first two games of a […]
I Like Mike
Thursday, July 22, 2010 – McCoy Stadium, Pawtucket PawSox 5, Mud Hens 4, 10 inn. With the Red Sox off on a west coast road trip and my next game at Fenway two weeks away, it was the perfect time to head to Pawtucket to check out the Triple-A team. When Jeremy Hermida returned from […]

Sweating the Small Stuff
Sunday, July 18, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 36 Rangers 4, Red Sox 2 The Red Sox struggled coming out of the All-Star break, dropping their first two games. Saturday they won an exciting game on a ninth-inning hit by (as I call him) the “Greek God of Walk-offs,” Kevin Youkilis. On Sunday, they were […]
Spin City
Monday, July 12, 2010 – LeLacheur Park, Lowell Spinners 3, Cyclones 2 With the Red Sox off for the All-Star break, I got a chance to go see the short-season Single-A Lowell Spinners. Jed Lowrie had just begun his rehab with the team, as he worked his way back after coming down with mono in […]

Saturday, July 10, 2010 – Hadlock Field, Portland Rock Cats 7, Sea Dogs 6 The Red Sox were playing their final series before the All-Star break on the road in Toronto, and I hit the road for my annual trip to see the Sea Dogs. It seems every time I go to Portland it rains, […]

Independence Daze
Sunday, July 4, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 1 and 15 Orioles 6, Red Sox 1 After dropping the last game of their series against the Rays, the Red Sox had the day off Thursday. But that didn’t stop their bad luck, as it was revealed that Jason Varitek had a broken foot after a […]
A Ray of Hope
Tuesday, June 29, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 40 Red Sox 8, Rays 5 After a sweep of the Dodgers, the road wasn’t as kind to the Red Sox. They went 3-3 on a trip through Colorado and San Francisco, but their record wasn’t what everyone was talking about. The day after a 5-hit, 3-homer […]
Beating L.A.
Friday, June 18, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 39 Red Sox 10, Dodgers 6 It’s always fun to go to Fenway two days in a row. It makes me feel like a season-ticket holder, like no matter what goes on – good or bad – I’m going to be there for it. So even though […]
It’s All Relative
Thursday, June 17, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Red Sox 8, Diamondbacks 5 The Red Sox won the first two games of their series against the Diamondbacks in convincing fashion, and my next game was on Thursday as they went for the sweep. In four straight series they had taken the first two games […]
A Lost Cause
Sunday, June 13, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 36 Phillies 5, Red Sox 3 As the calendar turned to June, the Red Sox kept up their winning ways. They took 2 of 3 from the A’s, won 2 of 3 in Baltimore, and split a 4-game series in Cleveland. When they returned home, they won […]
