DAD

Just great Derek, I was almost tempted to turn it off but being an old sox fan I didn't. Comebacks from the past were in the back of my mind and it was just great to see it happen again.

I think I am still high from the excitement of last night. God that was just an amazing game.

I even stopped watching in the 7th cause I just could not watch it anymore, then I came back and what did I see, the beginning of their comeback.

Kris

I keep trying to get out, they keep pulling me back in. I dozed off after Papi's biggest HR all season, only to be woken by Kevin texting me "OMFG!" I immediately sat straight up in bed (the TV was still on) and was tranfixed. Every pitch seemed like an eternity, every ball hit moved in slow-motion. And, at the end, JD f*cking Drew stood at the plate awaiting his destiny. And when he hit that ball over Gross's head, I waited, breath held, for just a moment. Then I heard Dan scream and a humongous crash as he jumped for joy upstairs...

Then I cracked a victory beer and laid awake, dreaming of the possibilities...

Go RED SOX!!!!!!!!

    This was the first time I've been to a game with my Dad since the early 90's and it was just awesome, especially with everything that happened with my Mom a few weeks ago. I know she was watching the game with us and had to have been happy to see us happy.

2005 BDD Playoff Push Party

  • Bar & TV's
    Boston.com and Boston Dirt Dogs had a playoff push party at Game On! in Fenway Park on September 19. The game didn't go so well as the Sox lost, however, a lot of people had a good time hanging out while getting to "meet" the trophy!

2004 World Series: Game One

  • Mounted Police
    My brother Chris flew into Boston from Chicago to help me root on and pull for the Sox in the Series. We went right from Logan Airport to the Park and ended up watching the game across the street from Fenway at Bills Bar on Landsdown Street. We looked into scalping tickets but standing room only were going for $1,200 and up!This was a great and memorable day to be able to be with my brother in Boston to see the Red Sox in the World Series. This is a snap shot of two weeks of my life that provided a lot of sorrow, joy, sleep deprivation, and hangovers. Two of the best weeks of my life...
