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.

Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte

If children live with criticism,
They learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility,
They learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule,
They learn to be shy.
If children live with shame,
They learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement,
They learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance,
They learn to be patient.
If children live with praise,
They learn to appreciate.
If children live with acceptance,
They learn to love.
If children live with approval,
They learn to like themselves.
If children live with honesty,
They learn truthfulness.
If children live with security,
They learn to have faith in them-
selves and others.
If children live with friendliness,
They learn the world is a nice
place in which to live.
