Red Sox - 300 000 010 - 4 9 2For the second game in a row, the bats struck for three runs in the first, then fell silent.
Orioles - 014 000 00x - 5 11 2
The Red Sox began the game: Crisp single, Pedroia L6, Ortiz double, Manny single/1-0, Lowell E5/2-0, Youkilis F8, Drew E3/3-0.
But Beckett struggled. After retiring the first five Orioles, he allowed three straight singles to cut the lead to 3-1. He gave up two singles to start the third inning, then got two strikeouts, but Millar singled for one run and Scott followed with a three-run dong -- and it was 5-3 Birds.
Boston did little with Guthrie until the seventh when Casey and Pedroia singled. Baltimore went to the pen. Walker walked Flo and the bases were loaded with no one out for Manny. Johnson came in and won a 10-pitch battle, getting Ramirez to tap into a 1-2-3 DP. Lowell then flied to left to end the threat.
The Red Sox rallied again in the eighth. With one out, Ellsbury and Varitek walked. Cora's single to right scored Lyndon to make it 5-4. But with Sherrill on the mound, Casey flied to left and Pedroia grounded to first. In the ninth, Ortiz, Ramirez and Lowell went down in order.
In Florida, Tampa beat the Rivera and the Yankees 2-1 in 11 innings, to move into first place. ... We are .5 GB. ... New York is 19-21.
Back at 'em with an afternoon game tomorrow.

Terry Francona's mother-in-law passed away last night, so Brad Mills will manage the two games at Camden Yards.
Since May 3, Kevin Youkilis is hitting .421 (in 43 plate appearances). His 16 hits in that time: 5 singles, 5 doubles and 6 home runs -- for a 1.026 slugging percentage. (And one stolen base!)

Tampa (.5 GB) hosts the Yankees (Wang/Jackson) at 7.
Rich Gossage, on Joba's 8th-inning fist pump-athons:
That's just not the Yankee way ... Let everyone else do that stuff, but not a Yankee. What I don't understand is, the kid's got the greatest mentor in the world in Mariano ... you'd think it wouldn't happen on that team.
I'm sure Joba's getting all the start-your-own-steakhouse tips he needs, though, which is what really matters.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad he didn't make more of Roger's mentoring last year. That was one of the advantages the MFYs touted, wasn't it?
Also, Francona's wife is named Jacque? Really? (I love Massachusetts.)

ReplyDeleteI hope so, Zen. I found the last two games quite uninspiring.
ReplyDeleteBut the beating would be more fun with Lyndon around.

Coco's on a tear right now.
ReplyDeleteCoco's on a tear right now.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to hear these kind of comments?
GDGD today, and more bad dance. Better than the other day though, because that was truly bad, and this is just a dance school, and therefore, while not good, at least potentially good someday!
ReplyDeleteAnd, since I'm running the whole thing on qLab, I have a lovely macbook pro to use.
flo slapping the ball down the lf line makes me giddy. fuck you, o's.
ReplyDeletelet's go manny!
It's even greater to say them than to hear them.
ReplyDeleteC'mon, Manny.
CBS's GDGD says that Ortiz "doubled softly to left". Was this a shift-busting double or something?
ReplyDeleteLotta bad dance out there, eh? Lotta bad everything out there I guess. Are you the PSM?
ReplyDeleteit was hit hard enough, was not a bloopy flair.
ReplyDeleteI want to see #500 TONIGHT!
ReplyDelete(Especially because I'm out tomorrow night. And you know it's all about me.)
ReplyDeleteGDGD says "line drive". Of Pedroia's out, it said "lines out softly".
ReplyDeleteYeah! Nice to have an early lead.
ReplyDeleteGood start! But I did say that last night also...
ReplyDeletefy's was a soft liner, yes.
ReplyDeleteRun(s) are good.
ReplyDeleteEven on GDGD, this is fun. Wish I were in Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not, thank whatever powers there may be, the PSM. I'm just the sound guy. On the one the other day, I was the light board op.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Amy, lighten up. You're taking these losses so hard.
ReplyDeleteMore run(s) are even better.
ReplyDeleteSo odd that there are more Sox fans there than Orioles fans.
ReplyDeleteSarah, that's cool. My alter ego is a techie, as I'm sure I've told you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I do take them hard. I need to remember it is only May and that even the best teams lose 60 games or so. I just hate it. Why can't we win them ALL?
ReplyDeleteYou'd think a seasoned baseball fan would remember that, yet almost no one does.
ReplyDeleteThey call it "Fenway South" for a reason. Though these days, pretty much every park but the toilet gets called that.
ReplyDeletethanks, cabin!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kevin! Still playing for our team!
ReplyDeleteLoooove this defense.
PSM? Is that a theater term or a tech term? Or neither?
ReplyDeleteYES! We are up 3!
More run(s). I like those.
ReplyDeleteeven with the o's good start -- they are .500 -- attendance is way down.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore is Toilet South, too. Just like Toronto is both Fenway North and Yankee Stadium North.
ReplyDeleteTek, don't kill the rally.
ReplyDeletepsm = production stage manager
ReplyDeleteErrors at the corners: a former RS and an almost RS (at one point a couple years back Theo was big on Huff, wasn't he?)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I figured a theater term.
ReplyDeleteDamn, Tek, swinging at shit again.
We love you, Millar.
ReplyDeleteThe O's are on pace for 27 errors this game.
34 pitches for Guthrie.
ReplyDeleteCBS is giving him all three ER...can't be right. Two, maybe, considering Ortiz would have scored on the grounder anyway, but he should have stopped earning runs after there were two out, I think.
I still cannot believe Laura is using the term "toilet".
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked in theatre and I hung out with tech people, I realized I had missed my calling as a stage manager. I did it a little for tiny little shows. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteZen: GD says 2 ER.
ReplyDeleteI am NOT using the expression toilet. I am answering someone else who did. I do NOT use that term. Stop it.
ReplyDeleteGDGD is giving him 2 ER.
ReplyDelete95mph fastball and 77mph curve? What's a batter supposed to do with that?
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see a 1-2-3 inning from our starter!
ReplyDeleteNo one else used the expression "Toilet South".
ReplyDeleteshut up
ReplyDeletei really like phil's sheep. it's so cute.
ReplyDeleteHehehe, you guys sound like my kids.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the new one will look like a toilet.
Noooooo. Cora records his second out this year.
ReplyDeleteYes, why sheep, Phil?
ReplyDeleteIt's the sheep Lisa doesn't want to eat from the vegetarian Simpsons episode.
ReplyDeleteCute little hit there.
ReplyDeleteAnd because Laura thinks it's cute.
ReplyDeleteThe old one doesn't look like a toilet! No more than any other concrete Stadium.
ReplyDeleteCool. Lamb was the first meet I gave up eating. After seeing lamb babies...even cuter than the avatar.
ReplyDeleteThorne: "That one's in the kitchen, and it's a big kitchen..."
ReplyDeleteFrom the air, it does sort of look more like a toilet than other parks. Sort of oval shaped.
ReplyDeleteI just saw that episode the other night.
ReplyDeleteI love lambs. And lamb. The cute ones and the yummy ones.
shut up :)
ReplyDelete(But I don't call it that either. I try not to use MFY also. I try not to fan the flames too much around here.)
ReplyDeletePretty sure baby lambs are called lambs.
ReplyDeleteBah, Papi.
it looks like a bed pan from the air, but apparently that's not the origin of the name. it has something to do with so many asses sitting in it.
ReplyDelete...
thorne just said ortiz is a pull hitter and never uses the wall at fenway for extra base hits. ?!?!?
I haven't had lamb since 1971. My mother says it was my favorite when I was really little---lamb chops.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember Shari Lewis and Lamb Chops? I loved that also.
I always took that route too, when I was on the Other Side.
ReplyDeleteI was always a Yankees fan with a soft spot for the Red Sox. Now I'm a Sox fan who can't really hate the Yankees.
Always on the outside... boo hoo... poor me...
Why yes, I am drinking vodka tonight. Nice of you to notice.
Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop!!!! My favourite. Kookla, Fran and Ollie.
ReplyDeleteMy mother called me lamb chop after that show. She still does sometimes.
It was and remains one of my favourite foods.
Pretty sure baby lambs are called lambs.
ReplyDeleteLOL. I meant newborn.
It's been well more than a decade for me. Not sure whether I ever had lamb.
ReplyDeleteShari Lewis's show was terrible.
Apparently I'm in the minority in thinking so, though.
ReplyDeleteWas it terrible? I've never seen it as an adult. I adored it as a child and it's one of those things best left at that. It's one of the those happy-sad memories for me.
ReplyDeleteOur 1Bman is better than their 1Bman, even if he used to be ours.
ReplyDeleteAnd I didn't even have any vodka.
ReplyDeleteStraight up or with OJ? Cranberry juice? Something else?
I loved Kukla, Fran and Ollie. I wonder if that is around on DVD somewhere.
My favorite kid's show though was always Lassie. Hence...Cassie the rescued collie.
"Grating and annoying" come to mind. I'm sure I'd be embarrassed today by lots of stuff I watched as a kid, though.
ReplyDeleteRe Thorne not knowing basic info about Ortiz:
ReplyDeleteThe latest FJM take on Joe Morgan's ESPN chat takes him to task for admitting he can't answer a question about the Dodgers because he hasn't seen the Dodgers yet this year -- because they have not been on Sunday night baseball.
Same deal with Cleveland, only saw them once, when ESPN did a game, so he can't offer an opinion.
Amazing. Joe doesn't watch any baseball except the one game he calls a week. What a job.
And neither of our catchers is below the Mendoza line.
ReplyDeleteProbably right that it is best not to go back and watch old favorite shows. I have gone back and seen some movies I loved as a child and wondered WHY I loved it.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone wants to see a nice photo with me and Allan in it, one is here. (Scroll down.) It's from Point Pelee, on our recent Detroit trip.
ReplyDeleteBut if you hate sushi, the pic may make you sick.
Cora v Lugo v Lowrie---who would have fielded that ball the best?
ReplyDelete"he can't answer a question about the Dodgers because he hasn't seen the Dodgers yet this year -- because they have not been on Sunday night baseball."
ReplyDeleteROFL
Seriously. I am cracking up.
Vodka with "Paradise Blend" juice. Bright orange and very yummy.
ReplyDeleteParadise Blend says it is "vacation in a glass".
We say add vodka and it's "paid vacation in a glass".
Ummm, an out, please?
ReplyDeleteDamn. There goes the shut out.
ReplyDeleteNice photo, Laura! Nice sushi also!! Did you guys get to eat that? I do love sushi, though I now worry about eating the tuna.
Finally the third out.
Paradise Blend? Is it orange-pineapple or somethng?
ReplyDeletePaid vacation in a glass! LOL!
I love sushi. We both do.
ReplyDeleteYes, that was our massive lunch one day. We way over ordered... then ate all of it!
Paradise Blend, it's something Dole makes. One of the 100% juice blends. When I get up for a refill, I'll tell you what's in it!
ReplyDeleteFJM:
ReplyDeleteCharlotte: Joe: You were such a great hitter. What would you do to help Andruw Jones get back on track. He's just lost up there. And I can't believe he's really this bad.
Joe Morgan: I can't either. I can't believe he's having the problems he's having. I have not seen him play this year, as we haven't done a Dodgers' game and he's never int the highlights, so I couldn't give him any specific advice, but I am shocked at how long this slump has extended.
KT: I am officially a broken record, but: Joe Morgan, the #1 analyst on the #1 baseball network in America -- multiple-time Emmy Award Winner -- has not seen a fucking DODGER GAME this year? Not one Dodger game?
I have a full-time job, and a decently complicated life, and a young child. There is not a single team in the majors I haven't watched play this year. I have watched at least one game of every major league team. You know why? I like baseball. Like checking out a Reds-Cubs game on a sleepy Saturday in late April. Like flipping over to a Giants game and imagine what it must be like to be Brian Sabean watching Barry Zito serving 80 MPH cheese to the NL. I like baseball, so I watch baseball. I just...I don't know how saying things like this doesn't get you fired. I really don't.
...
Mark (Bangor, PA): Hey Joe, have you picked out anything mechically wrong with Hafner's swing or has he lost his eye or bat speed?
Joe Morgan: I've only done the one Indians game early in the year, where it was cold and not conducive to hitting. [...]
KT: And since I only watch games I am actually announcing, and thus only see one game a week, everyone with a specific question about a specific player that happens not to play for one of the eight teams I have covered so far can go fuck themselves.
Sincerely,
the #1 Booth Analyst on the #1 Most Important Weekly Baseball Broadcast on the WorldWide Leader in Sports,
Joe Morgan

I'm not excusing Joe Morgan at all, but this:
ReplyDeleteThere is not a single team in the majors I haven't watched play this year. I have watched at least one game of every major league team. You know why? I like baseball.
is not typical. I don't watch the NL at all, ever, until the WS, except for interleague play, which I loathe and wish would end.
Most baseball fans cannot watch every team. There are too many teams! And if I'm watching two other teams, I'm missing a Red Sox game, right?
Phil saves Laura the trouble. Sounds yummy, though I like my vodka with cranberry juice (Cape Codder) or with cranberry and Cointreau and lime---the Cosmo.
ReplyDeleteNice catch, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil! I guess it's the carrot that makes it so orange. A nice touch.
ReplyDeleteSure, Cape Codders are great, I loooove Cosmos too. But this is what's in the house. :)
I'm announcing if anybody wants to check in. Thanks, y'all.

You should try this stuff, tho, Amy. It's really good. Has a tropical taste.
ReplyDeleteSo that's where Jere is!
ReplyDeleteDamn it, Jere, you're not supposed to pick Monday and Tuesday night games when I'm stuck in mandatory continuing legal education classes.
ReplyDeleteI feel lucky that I get to see as many Red Sox games as I do. Sometimes I will watch a Yankee game with Harvey if no Sox game is on and the Yankees are on TV (he watches the games on mlb.com). Sometimes a Mets game if my son-in-law is around. Sometimes whatever game is on if I have a chance. But every team? Not even remotely possible.
ReplyDeletePhil, you're a lawyer too?
ReplyDeleteThe stuff sounds very sweet, but 24g/8oz is typical for juice.
ReplyDeleteokay, we tuned in:
ReplyDeletejere > gary thorne
(Too as in another lawyer friend at JoS, not too as in you're also a lawyer besides being a baseball fan.)
ReplyDeleteWe've got Jere on now.
Yeah, and I get to take a couple more bar exams this summer when I move to Rhode Island.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I approve of giving up 7-pitch singles.
ReplyDeleteIt's sweet for juice but not sweet compared to, say, soda. Which I don't drink.
ReplyDeleteOk, it's a short ride to Baltimore, so I'm going to drive over there now so I can KILL GARY THORNE. What a complete, babbling IDIOT!!! ARRGH!
ReplyDeleteOoo lucky you, more bar exams. Awful.
ReplyDeleteHere comes my boy.
ReplyDeleteWhile you're there, make a coaching visit to mound.
ReplyDeleteHow are you watching the game while doing CLE, Phil? Good at multitasking?
ReplyDeleteThe juice does sound good---refreshing.
What happened to Drew?
hey all. just popping in while emma's getting ready for bed. What just happened to Drew?
ReplyDeleteWe lawyers are everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThe Rhode Island bar, Phil? Or more than one?
My daughter just passed the NY bar. I never ever want to take another one. I took MA and CT many years ago and swore that was it.
I'm watching on GDGD. The CLE stuff is useless, and I'm not even going to practice in this state, but I paid the money so I'm going. I just have to do the assignments and show up. (Otherwise, my license gets suspended, and I'd rather that didn't happen.)
ReplyDeleteTook NJ/NY. Now RI/MA. Apparently only a couple hundred folks take the RI bar each year, compared to !0,000+ for NY.
ReplyDeletebynum bloop to right. drew sliding catch -- twisted left wrist, fell out for a hit. lyndon in now.
ReplyDeleteYup, you're still on, Jere. A huge improvement over Thorne.
ReplyDeleteI good friend Abby had to take NY, NJ, CT, some multi-state thing for all three states... then moved to California. Where she practices in Federal court but is still required to take the CA bar exam. She was *not* pleased.
ReplyDeleteIt seems much CLE is like that. I went to a conference last fall where there were lawyers there for CLE purposes who were clearly NOT paying attention.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the bar(s). Doesn't sounds like a fun summer. I guess you couldn't waive in?
Nah, haven't been practicing long enough to waive in. Not sure whether RI even lets you. (NJ certainly doesn't.)
ReplyDeleteHmm, I missed the Drew thing. That sucks.
ReplyDeleteShit, Millar gets his revenge.
Feh.
ReplyDeleteJere, this guy does not look like Damon.
ReplyDeletecrap
ReplyDeleteUh, Josh? These batters suck. WTF.
ReplyDeleteIs Jere's girlfiend, significant other, partner, lifemate, and or roomate there helping with the broadcast, she's the funny one..
ReplyDeleteShe was not on today.
ReplyDeleteThis is 2006 Beckett: great individual pitches, lousy concentration and follow-through. Yecch.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think waiving in has gotten tougher than in the old days.
ReplyDeleteThe bar exam industry is so disgusting. The review courses are controlled by a monopoly, and the whole purpose of the exam is not to demonstrate competence but to control competition. It infuriates me. I teach people to think, and then the bar course teaches them to memorize and reduce things to rules.
I cannot believe we blew another lead. I am not going to dwell on it, but I hate it.
Game's not over yet. Plenty of time for a nice comeback win.
ReplyDeleteRe bar exams, my friend in Cali said the same thing - that it was a huge boondoggle, forcing her to spend tons of money for something she didn't need.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually easier to waive in than it used to, but it depends on the state and it usually requires 5+ years of practice.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely just a barrier-to-entry thing. It's no surprise that states you can't waive into include NJ (NY), FL (NY), HI (CA), and DE (capitalism). Good thing the NJ bar isn't actually that hard.
Can we please have one more 1-2-3 inning?
ReplyDeleteI guess Phil had to pay attention and Amy had to play with the kittens.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Amy, that play, and the earlier one, are exectly why you wouldn't enjoy having Alex as your regular shortstop. Lugo would have made that play easily.
ReplyDeleteRuns, please.
ReplyDeleteNah, I'm also looking for election returns from West Virginia and Mississippi in other windows.
ReplyDeleteI've been to West Virginia a couple times. It's so poor it had to borrow another state's capital's name.
I am just speechless. I was wishing that the NEXT inning would be 1-2-3.
ReplyDeleteKittens have been napping. Not baseball fans, I guess.
Some Baltimore promo thing with Ripken -- he looks exactly like "Steve" from Jerry Springer.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I spend all day running a CLE seminar, and when I finally get home, the discussion on JOS is about CLE! Am I in HELL??
ReplyDeleteYou really think Lugo is a better SS than Cora?
ReplyDeleteYikes, just saw the replay of Drew's injury. That looked painful.
Can we score at least two runs now?
Oh, Papi, another first pitch popup?
WV is poor but beautiful. What's left of it, whatever hasn't been destroyed by mountaintop removal.
ReplyDeleteWith the way the Sox are playing tonight, you might be.
ReplyDeleteYou're a lawyer also, Jack?
ReplyDeleteGod, we really are everywhere.
Time for Manny to hit 499.
Jack, is someone forcing you to tune in to the game thread?
ReplyDeleteOk, no HR, but a double is good enough!
ReplyDeleteLugo makes errors, but I think it's fair to say that if you polled all the scouts and managers in MLB, 98% would say Lugo is the better shortstop.
ReplyDeleteAmy, when Jack returned to JoS I warned him that you were also a lawyer. So if he was going to try to bullshit us with legalese, you might be able to call him out. ;)
ReplyDelete(And btw, he thanked me for the warning.)
ReplyDeleteEvening all....
ReplyDeleteJust woken up in the middle of the night so thought I'd look in.
What is going on with Josh?
A double isn't good enough when he doesn't score from second.
ReplyDeleteLugo is better than Cora, that's obvious, but where does Lugo rank among ML SSs? Still very low.
ReplyDeletethorne says lowell is better now because he's not a pull hitter -- hits to all fields.
ReplyDeletegraphic goes up with lowell's hits to:
left - 12
center - 10
right - 3
yup, not a pull hitter.
Good evening Lord. Beckett is not having a good night and Drew left the game with what looks like a broken wrist.
ReplyDeleteNo,Laura, I'm just surprised to find continuing legal education chatter competing with that game thread. I don't mind it much, just think it's strange, and for the rare person like me who deals with this stuff all day,a little disapointing.
ReplyDeletelooking at range factor for shortstops in the AL:
ReplyDeleteonly one man is lower than jeter ...
lugo.
Ha, I had no idea he was a lawyer, but since he loves a good argument and always has facts to support his position, I should have assumed so. Well, so far no legalese to call him out on.
ReplyDeleteNext time Manny hits 499 with at least one man on.
So a wonderful day all round.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't a great 5th innings.
We got the last two games on "proper" TV and the pitching seems in a funk.
Jack, yeah right. We all feel for you.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lord. Josh has not been at his best. As the score reflects.
ReplyDeleteAnother hit. There goes my wish for a 1-2-3.
ReplyDeleteJack, dare I ask what CLE you are teaching?
Hey look, another shitty single.
ReplyDeleteLord, very true, pitching has been suspect lately. But we're still in first. At the moment.
ReplyDeleteMany of us find the beauty of JoS game threads is the far-ranging conversation.
ReplyDeleteDamn. More O baserunners.
At least this is one ballpark this Englishman has been too.
ReplyDeleteOnly been to four, and one of them has been discontinued (RFK) and another will be demolished at the end of the season (you know who's).
Not that any of this matters...
Luke Scott is a "delightful youung man". Not as delightful as that thing sitting on Palmer's head.
Yes, "dee-light-full".
ReplyDeleteCamden Yards is a nice park. Did you get to see the Red Sox at any of the parks you went to?
Globe says x-rays are negative on Drew's wrist, so listed day to day with a sprain.
ReplyDeleteGot out of that one.
ReplyDeletecalled strike three -- and palmer groans like someone just shot his dog.
ReplyDeleteSo is general consensus say that is not Jim Palmer's real hair? (Or it's "his" because he bought it?)
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a mannequin.
NY - 000 00
ReplyDeleteTB - 000 10
I guess the Drewplainers are disappointed that it's not worse.
ReplyDeleteNo l.
ReplyDeleteYankees lost to Toronto (May 2005)
Phillies hammered 13-0 at home by Giants (June 2007)
Nationals beat Pirates on a walk-off wild pitch (June 2007)
Os beat Rockies (June 2007)
I got to go to Fenway for the tour, got offered one ticket, but turned it down because I couldn't get two. We got hammered that night at home by Colorado.
why the FUCK are we trailing balt by 2? come ON!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least we'll be getting to their pen soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd that was Josh's worst outing last year, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'd be stunned if Palmer's thatch is au naturelle.
Thank you, Allan. I am glad someone else is pissed off!
ReplyDeleteIs my memory off or didn't we struggle with this chump in the Mother's Day Miracle last season?
ReplyDeleteOr am I talking nonsense.
Oh too bad, Lord! But lots of good baseball, I'm glad you got to see all those games live, and several different park experiences. What was your favourite parks of the ones you saw games in?
ReplyDeleteBad grammar there, but you know what I mean.
Hey, Tek's back over .250.
ReplyDeletemrs. bynum must be the official scorer -- hit.
ReplyDeleteif errors exist, that was an error.
You are correct, Sir Lynch. This is the guy.
ReplyDeleteJeter stranded at 3rd. Think it is still 1-0 at Tampa. Are they for real?
ReplyDeleteKittens are awake and jumping on the laptop.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that is a good sign for the bats as well.
Yeah, that was Guthrie on Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm not happy! I just don't get pissed off during games anymore. In the regular season, anyway.
ReplyDeleteif the scores stay the same, we're bumped out of first by tampa.
ReplyDelete44KOO
ReplyDeleteKitten typing there.
I liked Camden Yards. They gave me free tickets for answering a survey... They asked me how far away from the park I lived, her face was a picture when I said 3 and a half thousand miles!
ReplyDeleteYankee Stadium was ghastly and the staff there appalling. RFK was old and run down but I liked it's character. Phillies wasn't bad, but very very high up.....
I try not to get pissed off, but when two games in a row we blow a first inning three run lead and then can't get the bats going, I guess I get pissed off.
