  • Jon Lester

    At Fenway Park last night for Jon Lester’s no-hitter. He didn’t look great during the first three innings, but after that he seemed to just get stronger as the game went on.

    Best seats I’ve had at Fenway – eight rows behind home plate. What a blast. I’ve never seen the park that full until the end of the game; good thing I scored parking on the westbound side of Beacon Street.

    Also a good chance to play with the D300. Funny how most of my pictures actually have the Nikon sign in them!

  • Congrats to the…. Giants.

    Great game.. Hey, doesn’t spring training start soon?

    Seriously, it was a great season, but I have to hand it to NY; they made some amazing plays. The fourth quarter was something to see.

    18-1 isn’t exactly bad. Gives them something to improve upon next year!

    Besides, I think I won something in our office pool.

  • Patriots back to the Super Bowl!

    I wasn’t expecting this to be a repeat of game #2, and it wasn’t.

    But 18-0 doesn’t mean anything unless you finish 19-0.

    The Packers-Giants game was a classic. I wouldn’t have minded a Brady-Farve Super Bowl, but the Giants ground this one out and deserved it. Eli did a nice job quieting his critics, or at least making some progress on that front.

    So we’re setting up for a rematch of the last game of the regular season.

    The biggest problem I foresee: suffering through two weeks of hype.

  • Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox!

    After the tremendous comeback against the Indians, to sweep the Rockies was incredible – they have a great team, and it was a lot tougher than the end result shows.

    A great end to a great season! Now to hoping they resign Lowell and Schilling.

  • Poor Jacoby Ellsbury

    Henceforth nicknamed “Taco”. In his honor I will partake of free food.

    Quite the well-pitched battle tonight. Okajima was incredible.

    Who sits out – Papi or Youk?

  • Back to the series!

    The Sox win the pennant!

    Yes!

  • Be at a bar/restaurant with multiple TV screens showing the Red Sox game
  • Watch on the only “low-def” television
  • Cheer 8 seconds ahead of everyone else watching the HD feed.
  • Profit!


    Eventually the manager informed us it “wasn’t fair to the other customers”, and said he would turn off ‘our’ TV – but compensated us for it.

    And the Sox crushed the Tribe. On to game 7!

  • They brought the broom!

    Sox sweep – Schilling pitched a great game, and back-to-back home runs by the big guys was all they needed. NY had a nice comeback today to make it a series. And the Patriots are 5-0!

    Next up – Yanks or Tribe?

  • Manny being Manny!

    Wow, what an ending – I think that ball’s still bouncing along the Pike!

  • Thank you, Baltimore!

    The Sox win their first division title since 1995!

    Major party still going on at Fenway. Congratulations!

    Only 11 more wins!
