Todd and I got to enjoy a rare night out for his birthday Saturday night. As you know, his birthday was actually Friday. But Saturday afternoon, we dropped the kids off at Helen's for the NIGHT (my first night away from Grant!) and went down to Boston Beer Works to meet up with Les and Ingrid. Les and Todd were friends when Todd lived in NYC (they both worked for the BOP). Now we all live in Massachusetts! Anyway, we got to see a rare event at Fenway. The game from the night before was postponed due to rain, but it was tied 1-1 in the 9th inning. Since the umps wouldn't allow them to start the next game without finishing the first, they played innings 9-11 before the Rays won the game. Then, there was about 30-45 minutes between games. The second game didn't start until after 9. AND... they stopped selling beer after the 1st inning!!!!! WHAT?????
We were sitting in my coworkers Matt and Greg's seats in right field, in the bleachers. It is a good seat... since there isn't a bad seat at Fenway to begin with. But we were pretty miserable since it was in the 30s and raining. It wasn't raining too bad, but just enough to make us pretty miserable.
But there's always Dunkin' Donuts hot chocolate to keep us warm! And despite 2 run homers from Pedroia and Youk, and a solo shot from Marco Scutaro... the Sox still lost 6-5.
