Big font for tickets, and then way down at the very bottom it says "http://redsox.com" in like size 7 font.
Also note the some empty seats in section 31ish behind the pitcher. It was in the low 40s that day.
(The Cora in uniform for the Ms is Alex's brother, Joey.)
Winning pitcher: El Guapo! Losing pitcher, Mike Timlin.
We Left In the top of the 9th

Newish wives of my buddy (who lived 6 houses from starting pitcher Brian Rose down in Dartmouth) and I suggested we go to the North End for dinner and the Sox were down by 5.
Called my buddy from a cell phone which was the size of a piece of Irish turf and he said the Sox had come back. I was bullshit that I missed it.
It was in the high 50's that day, not the 40's.
When you look at the box score - Three pitchers for Seattle had / will play for the Sox, and pre-Moneyball Scott Hatteberg was a pinch hitter. One Sox pitcher, Tom Gordon, would have a glorious meltdown for the Yankees in Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS. Also - WP Rich Garces, second to last player to ever wear #34 for the Sox. It was given to some free agent in 2003 who was 3rd on the depth chart at 1B behind Jason Giambi.
PS - Joe does shop at Star / Shaw's.

It's ok not for you to know who he was.
After all he never announced a Malibu Stacy doll accessory auction. How would you know?
Wow

I mean, that bullshit comment deserved a calling-out, but you just had to resort to a gendered insult to do it.
Yup

You bet your ass it did.
Not everyone plays nice or deserves to get played nice.
If you are sad about, please, please, please, get over it. It is a great day outside, I've got some crows in the yard and from the looks of the cracked egg on my grass, a raccoon stole a turkey egg last night.
Life goes on.
And who are you?

It deserved a gendered insult? One that attacks girls and women? That's all you could come up with, really?
Either you really couldn't do better, or you could have done better and chose not to. Neither reflects well on you.
Not you

RIP Gil and Gino and Tommy, happy retirement, Mike Gorman, and happy whatever you're doing, Jerry Trupiano. I've been listening to Joe for 30 years.
Northeastern University can forever kiss my ass for not admitting me so that I could take Joe's broadcasting course.

I watch the Premier League more than baseball, a lot more. The Red Sox are a tourist attraction.
Sure, Chris.

And yet here you are reading a Sox-related article and then spending your time commenting on a Sox related article so you can tell everyone... that you're a tourist? Cool story, bro!
