Here are the photographic highlights of the two most recent games I was at (both with epic pitcher photographer soprano_no_eiji).

So let's start with Camden Yards, one of my favorite places in the world!

I guess it's really good that I enjoy watching tennis, because today is turning out to be a generally rough baseball day.



I'm really lame, I know. But I had to do it.

I enjoy pitchers' duels - I don't always enjoy the corresponding stress, but I enjoy watching both teams' staff aces on the mound with their best stuff, both catchers formulating ( Read more... )

The inning I was able to listen to during lunch is now up on MLB.com! How exciting! It's amazing to watch - my heart goes out to Nippert, whose defense seems to have repeatedly failed him here.

This also means I now have video footage of Jed's epic bunt, which he somehow managed to get right over Nippert's head. It landed neatly between Nippert and ( Read more... )

There were some reassignments this morning. Devern Hansack and Jonathan Van Every were both sent back down to Pawtucket, and Michael Tejera, Jon Switzer and Lee Gronkiewicz were all reassigned to minor league camp. In addition, Schill has been placed on the 60-day DL so that the Sox have room on their roster for Lincoln Holdzkom. The roster has now ( Read more... )

I'm back in my dorm room, and luckily I checked my Friends' List when my roommate was out of the room. I actually yelped over some news.

Today the Globe ran an article on Jacoby Ellsbury. Now there really wasn't anything we didn't know about Jacoby before - it covers his heritage, his off-season and his reaction to possibly being traded. What caught my eye, though, was this:

"I talked to [fellow Sox prospect] Jed Lowrie because he was mentioned in the trade. We were like, 'Get your ( Read more... )

Just a quick post before I depart for Katsucon this weekend, where I won't have a computer (or even ESPN). I'm just saying my farewells now, as I leave at 3:30 (right after my classes get out) and won't have time to get a post out later. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

I'll be trying to bring a little bit of Clayboy to the convention in the form ( Read more... )

I had to watch this one alone because it was a Saturday and on Saturdays at college people like to go out and do things. (I was at a place where I could stare mindlessly at a television for a little bit, though, so I didn't miss much.)

As they wisely say in Liverpool, though, you'll never walk alone, and I didn't - I managed to find another Sox fan ( Read more... )

Alrighty, summary time. Let me attempt to explain what happened last night...

I was sitting in the lounge of the College Union Building when the game began. A bunch of Sox fans (and possibly a few Rockies supporters, as well) were gathered there, and there was this sports bar-like atmosphere. I was waiting for a friend there, and we were then going ( Read more... )
