We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us.

digging for third

nailed!

Baseball is a great game for all ages that takes patience, dedication and guts to master but can only truly be enjoyed from the heart…. I am not now as good as I once was but at one time I was pretty good at this, Americas pass time.

David Ortiz

Bring It

Island Creek Oyster Bar Kenmore Square

Great Eats!

The Island Creek Oyster Bar in the Kenmore Square area of Fenway is a great place to get fresh seafood and awesome cocktails before or after any Red Sox game or even when they are off or on the road too.

Teddy Ball Game

Bringing in the spring Boston style...

Opening day was a huge success for the home town Red Sox as they beat the hated Yankees 9-6 and over the weekend took 2 out of 3 to start the home stand thanx to Dustin Pedroia and the pitching staff.

Opening Day 2011

So yesterday was opening day at the old ball park located in the Fen.  So I set out to Kenmore Sq. by way of Watertown Sq on the 57 bus, straight shot by way of Brighton to Kenmore.  Camera in one hand and Ipod in the other I wanted to help bring this day to life and share it with the outside world that may not realize the power that the Red Sox give to our fair city.

They may have come home completely wiped from starting 0-6 but you couldn’t tell from the fans that our Sox were beaten and bruised from two miserable series losses starting in Texas, who really wants to start their season in Texas anyway they were the American League champs and offensively not a team you want your Pitching staff to have to go toe to toe with.  Then it was off to cold and foggy Cleavland for a series where the offense wasn’t in sinc at all but the pitching staff was showing signs of life instead.

So the pull in to Fenway park in  their eclectic brands of vehicles in the parking lot and prepare to put together a run in this 10 game home stand but oh it’s against the hated Yankees, which is always a tough battle for both teams home or away.  John Lackey got the call as it was his turn in the rotation to try and stop this train wreck of a season, he was having a tough time handling the Yank power stacked lineup but the Sox offense was more than willing to keep him and the bullpen alive til the bitter end.  As the Sox and Dustin Pedroia won the ball game 9-6 and the back end of the bullpen including Bard, Jenks and Pap put the finishing touches on the first of many great wins this season or at least we hope.
