Sending Out An S.O.S.
Sunday, July 3, 2016 – Fenway Park, Section 42 Red Sox 10, Angels 5 After a personal 5-0 record in May games, I went a dismal 0-5 in June, so I was happy to turn the figurative page to July. But mostly I was happy that I didn’t have a ticket to Saturday night’s game, […]

Keep It Rolling

Sunday, May 1, 2016 – Fenway Park, Section 2 Red Sox 8, Yankees 7 The Red Sox came into Sunday Night Baseball having beaten the Yankees on Friday and Saturday. They started the day half a game behind the Orioles for first place in the East, while the Yankees sat in the basement, five games […]
