Tampa Bay winning tonight: no good

The series being tied at 1-1: somewhat good

Parlor Party in Parrish’s Shane Lounge with hot dogs, tofu dogs, nachos, Cracker Jack, peanuts, and the game on a plasma TV: very good

Baseball Playoffs

Fenway Park on May 21st, 2008

Fenway Park on May 21st, 2008

It’s been a great baseball season.  Since May, I’ve been to Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and Angel Stadium (the most baseball I’ve ever seen live during a summer).  The postseason will be enjoyable because I’ll be rooting hard against the Dodgers, and for the Cubs, Phillies, and Angels.  I want the Angels to take it all, and they have a good shot at doing so.  They have the best record in the MLB, and K-Rod has been racking up the saves. Even though the Angels haven’t won a playoff game against the Red Sox since two years before I was born, I’m hoping they can score some wins against the Socks across the river from where I lived this summer.

Summer Recap: Baseball

Fenway

One of the most enjoyable parts of my summer was going to a number of baseball games.  I saw two games at Fenway Park, a game at Wrigley Field, and a game at Angel Stadium.  I also enjoyed Baseball as America, a traveling exhibit from the Hall of Fame hosted by the Museum of Science.  One of the most striking things I noticed was how much smaller and livelier Fenway and Wrigley felt.  I think this was mostly because they weren’t surrounded by a massive parking lot.

The Last (Epic) Weekend

Roller Derby!

Roller Derby

My last weekend in Boston was great.  It involved a goodbye party with people from work, Mama Mia!, Stick It (the Bring it On of Gymnastics), an all nighter, pancakes, the baseball exhibit at the Museum of Science, a trip to Faneuil Hall, sailing, roller derby, my last Sunday at Grace Church, and almost 40 miles of walking.  It was a nice way to end my summer in Boston.
