Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls....

Welcome to Fenway Park!

This year for my birthday I bought Chris and I two tickets to a Red Sox game. We met a bus in Burlington at noon and from there rode to Boston. The ride down was only about 4 hours, even with four stops. I don't think I could have done any better.
Since we went on June 12th, and it was my birthday, I wanted three things:
  1. Curt Schilling to pitch (Curt's been on the DL since spring training, so no luck there) STRIKE ONE!
  2. Jason Varitek to catch (He came down with a random case of strep throat and couldn't play) STRIKE TWO!!
  3. Jonathon Papelbon to pitch (we were winning so didn't need to rely on the star closer) STRIKE THREE!!!

Don't feel too bad for me though - I was at Fenway Park, the Sox won, and Mike Lowell hit a grand slam home run - so it was an okay trip overall!
