The Day That Was Today...

Aug 03, 2008 21:46

Fenway was barrels of fun. I went with the always fabulous wrennette who is pretty much awesome. We were in the CF bleachers pretty far up. Against the wall(but in dead center not below the jumbotron). Odds are if you see a game replay or something I could probably point myself out....especially if I have that damn black umbrella up. I was the essence of ( Read more... )

It always cracks me up when Ortiz steals a base, because pretty much everybody in the infield just stops playing and stares at him. He may also be the least graceful person ever. His slides are painful to watch.

That sucks about the Lowrie and Masterson shirts. When I was at Fenway last week they didn't have any Masterson or Lowrie shirts in my size, either. Hopefully they will next time.

It was haircut and errand day so I had to skip the game, but I did stop back to the house at one point, and I pulled up Gameday graphics to see what was going on...it was right after Papi stole the base. I had to look twice to make sure I wasn't dreaming. The thought of the visual makes me laugh, including the thought of everyone stopping to stare. Why am I not surprised? High fives to the big guy for doing it, though! :)

It also thundered a while after he stole the base too which was pretty funny

Yeah next time I hope at least one of the two has a shirt in my size. I almost went with 2XL but then that'd be wearable but not as wearable for me. So I decided "Mehh screw" and did up Manny Del who is one of my favorite players on the team.

Ooh, you caught a nice game! (And this was a nice one for wrennette to have as her first one, too!) I was watching it on my phone, sort of...I started yelling about Jed in the car. I'm sure my father thinks I'm nuts now. And how dare they not have the right size Lowrie and Masterson shirts? That was mean of them...

...of course, seeing Papi steal a base was probably the highlight of the afternoon. That must have been AMAZING. I've seen him do it on TV, but I can only imagine what it must be like in person...

It was pretty much hilarious I'm like "OMG NOOOOO" then he was safe and I laughed.

I started laughing, because the people out in center and right were going INSANE with the wave, and I thought you might be one of them.
No Lowrie for you? :(
The crowd went nuts when he stole that base ahaha.

I'm not a wave lover. I usually was very unenthusiastic with the wave. Though I did like OCD it with teh umbrella a bit :P

Yeah. That made me sad in the face. :( I was gonna try Bay but odds are they're all sold out.

jollygreenpear August 4 2008, 04:09:06 UTC

dude, they WERE sold out. Completely. The store people had "WE'RE OUT OF BAY SHIRTS" tags on.

oh don't worry! i had more fun than you could shake a stick at! my face still hurts from all the grinning i have been doing. pictures are here

piney61 August 4 2008, 05:21:56 UTC

Nice pics. Also, LOL I look so dumpy in that picture. I think it's because my pants were kinda falling off me(shows me for forgetting to put a belt on them)

wrennette August 4 2008, 05:25:07 UTC

meh. wearing pants is over rated. i try to avoid it whenever possible.
