Day 5: Home is where the Hall is

April 8th, 2008 · No Comments

When I was seven or eight years old, my parents took me to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. I barely remember it. I do remember thinking it was a lot of walking and there were some cool things there, but I don’t remember anything specific about it. I couldn’t tell you the […]

Day 4: Maybe we’re bad luck?

April 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Nothing like hanging out at the ballpark, hoping to salvage one game and not be swept when big Frank Thomas steps up to the plate with the bags juiced. That’s ok though.

He unjuiced them pretty quick with a grand slam served up by Manny Delcarmen and basically charged to Josh Beckett. And the Sox got […]

Day 1: Impulsive beginnings

April 4th, 2008 · No Comments

So Mike and I were planning on driving to Toronto early this morning, checking into our hotel some time around 4 p.m. after leaving our apartment at 6 a.m. But that didn’t happen. We were hanging around in my room around 6:30 p.m. last night, and both of us wanted to play poker.
So we decided […]

Oh Canada!

April 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

So Mike and I are heading to Canada to watch the Blue Jays play the Red Sox in a three-game set this weekend. Definitely looking forward to it, especially the Josh Beckett v. Roy Halladay matchup that could be slated for Sunday if Beckett’s balky back cooperates. We’re planning to wake up on Friday morning […]
