When did they start playing Cricket at Fenway?

Ba dum bum.

hmmm. i seem to remember putting a guy who looks just like you up for a night in northern VT last winter. that guy told me he'd get me back with some baseball related perks come ball season, seeing as he has a job with MLB. well i guess you and him are not the same guy, wht a coincidence though ;)

fenwaz rules though, howd you like the view from those new seats in right field?

Dude! You stayed at GMD this winter and I didn't even know you were a minion. Small world.

Nice pics, Fenway looks to be in pretty good shape considering its' age.

ben, just tell me when - with some advance notice i should be able to set you up.

13 - small world here isnt it ;) who from gmd are you?

Any of the ALCS and or World Series games would would work out for me :p

what i ment was i wanna go to the game with you, mang. so next time youre in the bean give a shout

even better! im doing a bunch of quasi consulting stuff w/ the sox now, so i should be up sometime in the next few weeks. ill let you know.

So when are you going to take over Bud Selig's job already? Get that clown out of there.

Nice sunset shots!

He probably just thought you wanted to see the Red Sox play, so he didn't see any reason to find playoff tickets.

[Davey Ortiz]you got a problem with the second best record in baseball, mang?[/Davey Ortiz]

Sweet pics dude! Fenway mini soon?

You inspired me to get off my ass and post a few pics I took at a game in early 2002 season.

the red sox have been in the playoffs for like the past 5 years.

the only thing worse than a bandwagon yankee hater is a bandwagon red sox hater....wait. maybe not.

Hey! I'm not a bandwagon hater!

I'm an equal opportunity hater. I've hated the Mets ever since they beat the Astros in the 1986 NLCS in 16 innings. And since the Yankees are also from NY, I hate them too. And really Boston and New York are pretty much the same city, since there's no real break in the suburbs connecting them, so I hate the Red Sox too. Actually, I've never really liked the American League as whole. The DH rule bugs me, and they always seemed a little bit stuck up compared to the National League.

Nice pics. That's a great look at the new rightfield grandstand/roof/whatever seating.

I'm down for a Fenway mini anytime, but getting a block of seats might be trouble (given that they sold 2 million tickets before pitchers and catchers reported, and are almost sold out for the season already). Still, hope to catch some games with some of you mangs (except you, base) when I get home.

Hommmmeeee swweeeetttt hommmmmmmmeeeeeeeee...

Did I go on some ridiculous drinking binge and hallucinate the 3 seasons between 99 and 02 when the Red Sox missed the playoffs? Damn that must have been some party...

Wonder if we got a few people together (ok, like 20 people) whether the group ticket office could help us out? Otherwise, the "buy standing room tix on game day" route may work if peeps were down.

fenway mini would be sweeeeet

:D thanx for some sox stoke. don't get much here in cali. and i cant friggin believe that billboard says dunkin lattes and not dunkin donuts. :rolleyes:

Maybe we could petition dunkin donuts saying we are a group of at risk/dying/poverty-striken children and sit in their ''we feel bad for these kids so we got them bleacher seats'' section. We could pretend we were blind, that might work.

Hah! May as well be blind - you can't see much of the game from the Dunkin Dugout. Itss in the absolute last row of the right field bleachers.

Also, whose genius idea was it to put a bunch of charity kids in the bleachers? "Daddy, what does Dlowe sucks balls mean? Whats a douchebag? Do they really know that player's mommy?" Terrible.

:mad:

guess i wont take you as my chaparone for the handicap seats i got. so who else wants to push my wheelchair?

Me me! (Jumping up and down like those bizarre creatures in your avatar)

lets get a headcount for a fenway mini and ill start to see what i can pull together. we'll probably have to pay face value for the seats, but i might be able to get a big block. Easiest for me are weekend games as im coming up from nyc.. but i might be able to pull off a friday as well.

in (although if its before july i probly wont be fitting in any normal fenway seats)

but cantdog already said he'd push my wheechair

In.

And I'm pissed cantdog geeked out and responded to the wheelchair thing in like .02 seconds.

jesus, that bad? pcl right? man.. that sucks. anyways - the more we have in the more difficult itll be to do soon, but who knows. sometimes being an mlb employee does have its perks ;) realistically though.. i think we should look for either last sat in june vs phillies or 2nd week of july vs tex. check out our site here ..

I'm in for one, two or three tix if we can nail it down a bit.

yay! (checks reserve stocks of vodka)

and i dont need no stinking wheel chair, i'll be good to go by then. although i say texas, cause i'd like to see some redemption form the last series with those slipery texas fuckers

awesome, I'd definately be down for a red sox mini. I've already got a ticket for the June 29th game in NYC if anyone else is making that trip.

I'm heading down to boston this weekend and wandering around fenway area trying to find a cheap ticket(haha) if anyone wants to get some beers. Then on stumps suggestion, definately going to hit Tequilla Ran.

edit: looks like we got the entire mini contingent online right now.

edit2: and ice, we should rally the dc mags and hit a game at camden, then maybe a trip to the babe ruth museum. Havent been to both places in a while.

CD-you just might be in luck. What day you plan on wandering around looking for a ticket? I may have an extra to Friday's. More info to follow.

I too would prefer the Texas game.

Ps... how cool is it that snorkeldeep linked us to the sox site and referred to it as "our site". Thats money :D edit: i mean for him. i wish i could link to some site and say "check out my gig!" and not have people fall over due to complete lack of interest.

well if you got an extra, friday definately. either way we should grab some beers.

i agree on texas, but part of me wants to check an interleague play game just because I've never seen a NL team. (although the sox website says the phillies games are sold out)

well norkledeep is the frickin website. so he has access to the secret secrets within the interweb ticket providers. yep.

Yeah, hide the vodka, base.

Pretty much any time at Camden Yards is cool, I'll help figure it out, just let me know what y'all want to do. That last series in Oct. has become a problem (not for me, for you guys) since a friend just bought tickets for his family and mine. Bastard.

Flights to the Bean are cheap enough that I can pretty much do that whenever, with some notice.

Derek Jeter:

YEAR: 2004
G:42
AB:184
R:16
H:35
RBI:16
BA:.190
OBP:.251
SLG:.277

Mark (i'm nobody) Bellhorn:

YEAR: 2004
G:42
AB:150
R:29
H:35
RBI:26
BA:.233
OBP:.392
SLG:.400

this curse! this curse! its killing meeeeeee!

Jeter - 4 rings. Mark, um , who?

Jeter - 4 rings.

---

Some questions: Are those rings supposed to mean something this year? Do they confer a magical ability to be "clutch", or improve Jeter's chances of showing even league average range in the field?

Are they like the rings of power - if so, which rings are these? The rings given to men or dwarves or elves? Who has the one ring? Does the Boss feel as if the NL has taken his precious? Is Red Sox Nation tricksy and false?

One thing is certain: much like the ring of power, Jeter's rings are making him invisible on the field this season.

Maybe all the bling is weighing down his average?

Or maybe these are just words of an insecure yankee fan who realizes the Sox are 10 games above .500, 1.5 games ahead of the Bombers, and still haven't played a game with Nomar or Trot in their usual spots in the lineup?

Just asking.

Watched my first MLB game at Fenway, many years ago. Have been addicted to baseball since then, before actually I think. Go Sox. :D
