is this team any good? thinking of catching a game next weekend
Oh yeah, they're on the south side next weekend. I don't really know how to answer the question of if they're any good or not, but they're certainly interesting.

The story of why the cameraman was focused on Fisk during his 1975 World Series HR for that classic shot of him trying to wave the ball fair is quite gross.
I want to say I knew this once. Or maybe posted on it once. But when you post several thousand things a year they all kind of blend together. Oh well.
Anyway, there’s a great story over at Sporting News which tells the tale of the famous shot of Carlton Fisk’s homer in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series. It was a shot that wasn’t supposed to happen because back then camermen were instructed to follow the ball, not the player’s reaction. But in this case, something weird happened:
NBC cameraman Lou Gerard, stationed in the Fenway scoreboard and assigned to track the ball wherever Fisk hit it, had a problem.
A big, hairy, ugly, nasty problem.
“There were some rats running around,” he says. “With Fisk coming up, Harry Coyle, who was the director at the time, he told me, ‘Lou, you have to follow the ball if he hits it.’ I said, ‘Harry, I can’t, I’ve got a rat on my leg that’s as big as a cat. It’s staring me in the face. I’m blocked by a piece of metal on my right.’ So he said, ‘What are we going to do?’ I said, ‘How about if we stay with Fisk, see what happens?’
Meanwhile, we all get mad at Luke Scott for calling Fenway Park a dump. Oh well.

Also, no Schilling. He's busy with his video game company and won't be there. The only reason Boggs isn't attending is because he heard that chicken was banned from the clubhouse.

And beer
Something we can all agree on is that Boggs is the god damn man.

Wonder when I can begin to pull up the audio on my phone.
Hit your stadium up for the first time. Had great seats and saw you guys lose so that's always nice. The stadium was also better than I expected having heard so many negative things about it. Dig where it's at and the bars by it. I do like the dinginess of the bars by Yankee Stadium a lot more though. They were all built up McFaddens type places. I like a good dive bar that has been there forever. Had a good time though. Didn't talk any shit, dude in my row was rocking a Yankees hat and no one said anything that I noticed. Fans were really weak. Stadium was half empty in a decent game about 10 minutes after they rocked out to Sweet Caroline. Food was good, served liquor at a stand by my section and beers were only $8 or so. Edit: Definitely was a cool place to see a game though and glad I did. Altough I deleted every picture I took that had the 2004 banner in it.
I picked Boston spring break week to come to Orlando.....surrounded by red sox shirts and hats :fp:
Wah

Glad you had fun buddy. There are divey-type bars in the area (Copperfields, Baseball Tav), just gotta look for them. And Sweet Caroline makes me want to throw up.

Thanks, man, definitely a good time. I figured there probably were but we just missed them. Have to look up the name of the places we went, definitely new bars though. Yeah, we can agree that that's the worst too.

Kentucky Fried Kevin and Pedro doing the toast today was the most ridiculous thing I've seen in years. The whole event was amazing, but the two of them on top of the dugout was comic gold. I was nearly pissing myself watching that today.

Even on the Yankees Sports radio station down here in Florida said the celebrations today were not over the top and quite eloquent.
