I was reminded by my Aunt tonight that 5 years ago this evening we were sitting in Busch Stadium watching the Boston Red Sox win their first World Series in 86 years! We were there for Game 4 of the 2004 World Series!

It was a great night to be a Red Sox Fan. I made a decent blog post about the game that you can read here, and I took HUNDREDS of photos of the game, available via my photo gallery.

Even though the baseball season is over for 2009, it’s still good to relish in the Red Sox Championships from 2004 and 2007! Go Phillies, beat those damn Yankees.

Hip hip hooray! The Red Sox have made the playoffs again! Now, hopefully the Rockies will do the same, and then we can see a Rockies/Sox World Series! We’ve got tickets for the Rockies first round of playoffs if they make it.

Carol and I went to the first game of the double header today at Fenway Park in Boston. We had standing room only tickets but with the weather managed to get ourselves seats in the grandstand after the second inning.

Another loss for the Red Sox, at least they won the 2nd game of the double header this evening.

I'm flying back to St. Louis in the morning, with a 2.5 hour stop in NY. I'm going to try to get to bed now, more tomorrow as Natalie and I prepare for Amsterdam.

It has been a long day. Cliff Notes: Flight to New Jersey (slept), Picked up rental car, parked rental car in daily parking with my stuff. Train to Penn Station, Wander around NY, random Subway trips. Yankees Red Sox Game (Sox Win! Sox Win!) Subway back to Penn Station. Train back to Newark Airport, hop in rental car, drive to Parssippany to hotel. Read tons of email, go to bed.

While I thought I had this whole trip to New York tomorrow to see the Red Sox play the Yankees turned out to be far more complex than I had imagined. I ended up getting a rental car this evening so I would have a place to store my bag(s) while I head into the city tomorrow afternoon. Otherwise I would have had to pay $60 each way for a car ride to/from the hotel to drop off my bags.

I also could have rented a storage locker with Amtrak at Penn Station, but that would have required me to get an Amtrak ticket, the cheapest of which I found was $40.

So I got a car for $142 for two days from Priceline, compact, not too bad I guess. Now to finish packing so I can go to bed early.

What should I wear tomorrow to the game, a red sox jersey? Will I get killed?

 

It looks like New York in two weeks will be a Family affair! The New England clan will be driving/flying? down to join me at the Red Sox Yankees game on the 26h at Yankees Stadium. I'll repeat the process in Boston a month later as I have a pair of tickets to two games at Fenway in the final regular series of the 2008 season, also against the damn Yankees.
Good news. I have the Red Sox tickets for September in hand, so I know I'll get to see those two games now. I'm still hoping the 4 tickets for the game in New York will show up soon so I can be at ease over those!
Cardinals Opening Day March 31st, 2 Standing Room Only (probably gonna sell those) Red Sox at Yankees 8/26 in New York, I'm definitely going to this! Yankees at Red Sox 9/26 AND 9/28, I'm there baby! Yeah
I'm going to Boston! I'm going to Boston!!!!! Got a pair of tickets for the 9/26 and the 9/28 games at Fenway!
In honor of the 2007 World Series I figured I'd link to my pictures I took at Game 4 of the 2004 World Series! http://www.flickr.com/photos/chammond/sets/72157594541829383/ And how could I forget all the photos I took at Opening day of this year at...
It looks like the Rockies weren't able to solve the problem they had with World Series tickets yesterday. I'm getting the same thing I got when trying yesterday, page cannot be displayed. Good job MLB, way to screw up two days in a...
Those of us (I think 50% of the US population) who tried to get World Series tickets this morning were all pretty much frustrated with the event. I however, was happy to see that only a few tickets were sold. My fear was that all the tickets were sold and I wouldn't be able to get any tickets for the games in Colorado. Well it looks like things might be better off than originally thought. The Rockies shut down ticket sales in the wake of the server failures they were having this morning, caused by the enourmous number of people trying to buy tickets. They will supposedly announce how tickets will be sold sometime soon. I'm hoping they try the web sales again sometime tomorrow, I'll try...
So far I've had a decent time in Washington DC. I've spent most of the time working, but tonight I got to get out for a few minutes. Check out some of my photos in the DC Flickr Set. Tomorrow night if I can get through all of the training topics I need to cover I've purchased a ticket to go to the Red Sox game vs the...
