Jake's Take 2002
 
9_29tic Nothing to Cheer About
Wally brought the car to a quick stop in the breakdown lane. In one quick yet well thought out move I opened my door and vomitted. That, as Wally pointed out, pretty much sums up this season.

Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays
 
7_21tic Not Even in the Bronx
We gave away another one, and as the Yankee fans celebrated, I was able to yell expletives that even I couldn't hear over the noise.

Red Sox vs. New York Yankees
 
7_20tic Let's Go Red Sox, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap
Quick turnaround for today's game, we'll have to sleep some other time.
July 20, 2002
Red Sox vs. New York Yankees
 
7_19tic New York, New York
The first thing Wally and I did after we checked into our Lower Manhattan Hotel was to walk to the end of the block and silently stare at the hole in the sky. Ground Zero.

Red Sox vs. New York Yankees
 
7_7tic Halfway
Under a gloomy sky padded with smoke from Canadian wildfires we dropped a second game to Detroit. We hit the break two games behind New York; this thing is still doable.

Red Sox vs. Detroit Tigers
 
A Jake Bean Perspective Fenway Sucks, Manny, and Some Guy who claims to be Ted Williams' Kid
Seats over the left field wall? Close down Yawkey Way to make an indooor food court? What does this sound like? Doom.

May 24, 2002 The Mick Factor
When the conversation turned to Clemens, Mick looked at me and calmly stated: "Jake, he can't pitch when I'm there."

May 17, 2002 The Proper State of Mind
Now that we've returned to 7:05 starts more time can be allocated to pre game cocktails.

Red Sox vs. Seattle Mariners
 
April 26, 2002 Moonshots
When I pulled up to the parking garage the security type asked to look in the trunk just as he did earlier in the season. Again he gave it just a very brief look...

Red Sox vs. Tampa Bay Devil Rays
 
April 1, 2002 Let's Play Some Baseball Baby!
After a long and interesting winter, this much anticipated Opening Day arrived. The always-anticipated rush didn't last however.

Red Sox vs. Tornoto Blue Jays
 
Jake Bean Elegy for The Duke
Last season I said I wanted to see Federal Marshals lead him down Yawkey Way in shackles. I also referred to him as a genius. I still stand behind both of those statements.
