Almost Choke

My par­ents are in town vis­it­ing, and I thought it would be fun to go to a Red Sox game…

Never-​mind that it’s late-​august, during a pen­nant and wild-​card race, in the cra­zi­est base­ball city with the small­est sta­dium in mlb.

After trying in vain to find 4 tick­ets together for this week­end on craigslist, I ponied up and started call­ing bro­kers. These guys must make a killing – that’s all I’ll say.

We ended up 10 rows up from Pesky’s poll, way the hell out in right field. Still, the rain held after a vio­lent thun­der­storm, and we got to see a ter­rific game.

I love Byung-​Hyun Kim, but he simply has to stop with this chok­ing thing. A closer is a closer. Lights out.

Too bad I forgot the dig­i­tal camera…
