Double (Or Should I Say Triple) Your Pleasure
Tuesday, August 16, 2011 – Fenway Park, Section 43
Game 1 – Red Sox 3, Rays 1
The Red Sox went 3-3 on a road trip to Minnesota and Seattle, but they were home for a very strange two-day, three-game homestand before heading out on the road again. There was a doubleheader on Tuesday with an afternoon [...]
Rain – What a Surprise!
Sunday, August 7, 2011 – McCoy Stadium, Pawtucket
After attending Saturday afternoon’s exciting win over the Yankees, I got home around 9:30. But at 10:30, I was on my way out again, this time headed to work for a midnight implementation. (I work in IT, so many of our projects have to go in overnight, when [...]
Leadoff Leadership
Saturday, August 6, 2011 – Fenway Park, Section 33
Red Sox 10, Yankees 4
After two exciting walkoff wins, the Red Sox dropped their final game against the Indians and the first game of the Yankees series. Saturday’s matchup of John Lackey against C.C. Sabathia may have looked daunting on paper, but I was encouraged by the [...]
A Visit to Lowell
Wednesday, August 3, 2011 – LeLacheur Park, Lowell
IronBirds 1, Spinners 0, 11 inn.
The day after Jacoby Ellsbury’s walkoff hit, I went to Lowell to watch the short-season Single A Spinners take on the Aberdeen IronBirds, an affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. I’m pretty familiar with the higher levels of the Red Sox organization, but I [...]

After a brief three-game road trip to Chicago, where the Red Sox took two from the White Sox, they returned home to play the Indians. It was raining as I drove in to Boston from work, and by the time I got to [...]
Entertainment Tonight
Tuesday, July 26, 2011 – Fenway Park, Section 34
Red Sox 13, Royals 9
The Red Sox dropped their Monday night game to the Kansas City Royals, but Dustin Pedroia extended his hitting streak to 22 games. I headed in for Tuesday night’s game, but it took longer than usual to get there when my Green Line [...]
A Grand Game for Tim
Sunday, July 24, 2011 – Fenway Park, Section 36
Red Sox 12, Mariners 8
The Red Sox started out after the All-Star break the same way they had left off – on a roll. They took two of three in Tampa Bay, including an epic Sunday night game that ended with a 1-0 win in the sixteenth [...]
A Minor Diversion
Saturday, July 16, 2011 – Hadlock Field, Portland
Rock Cats 5, Sea Dogs 4
While the Red Sox took on the Rays in their first series after the All-Star break, I traveled to Portland, Maine, for my annual look at the Double A affiliate Sea Dogs. My family jokes that we know what day it’s going to [...]
Give Me A Break
Sunday, July 10, 2011 – Fenway Park, Section 43
Red Sox 8, Orioles 6
When I went to Tuesday night’s game I was excited to be seeing Jon Lester. I was also thinking ahead to my next game, five days later, when I was hoping to see him again. But a lot had happened in those five [...]
