2013 World Series Game 5

The Joy of Sox blog sums it up..    Now we are back to Fenway for games 6 and 7.   This is an incredible never say die team, similar in some ways to the 2004 Champions.   A different hero each night - David Ortiz, Johnny Gomes, David Ross, Jon Lester, John Lackey.

Red Sox 2013

I'm going to list the games I attended in 2013, to go along with my scorebook.  Yep I'm a baseball geek.

• Mon. April 8, 2013 -  Opening Day at Fenway - 3 run HR by Daniel Nava to power the Sox to a 3-1 win over Baltimore.   WP Clay Buchholz
• Sun. May 26 - 4 run 9th inning rally, walk off win topped off by a Jacoby Ellsbury double.
• Sun. June 9 - Sox beat up the Angels 10-5
• Sat. July 20 5-2 loss to the Yankees with game time temps 95 degrees... sweltering! 
• Sun. Sept. 1  - Sox hold on to beat the White Sox 7-6

Nice August win for the PawSox

A short 2 hour 19 minute walk off win 2-1 for the PawSox over Scranton last night at McCoy Stadium.  The PawSox remain in first place in their quest to defend the Governor's Cup.  Ryan Lavarnway's SF knocks in Jackie Bradley Jr. to tie up the game, then Mark Hamilton singles to win it.  A great night of AAA baseball, plus I was able to see the last two innings with a friend and his kids.

Bradley had 3 of Pawtucket's 4 hits

Parking... why must someone park like this?   Really?   You have a tiny car but you can't remain in the lines??

Meanwhile our friend Alfred Aceves is already involved in a brawl at the WBC and possible one of the top quotes of 2013.    And he wasn't even pitching, nor the instigator.  

Team Canada first base coach Larry Walker took it upon himself to restrain Aceves.

“I had ahold of him, and I thought I saw Satan in his eyes,” Walker told reporters
