Baseball High
I waited until after the World Series to go see Chief. Miss Gail was at her usual command post; she gave me the look and asked "What is it with these Baseball Gods, the ones you worship? Is it me or are they just scewing with you?" I always enjoy a woman's point of view. |

Boston vs. New York
I realize as soon as we step into Yankee Stadium that this is not your average regular season crowd. Large, loud, intoxicated white men with vocal chords that don't quit. 55,000 crazed fans who hate Boston. I love this shit. |

 |
Riot Gear
Like I said before the season began, Theo & Co. screwed up by not getting Clemens back for (what he is saying is) his last season. |

Let's go to Oakland

| Oct. 5, 2003 Red Sox vs. Athletics | |
 |
Karma
So we're suppose to meet some guy on the street and pick up tickets that Chief bought, because we get tickets like the average fan does: The Hard Way |

Foul Ball
When Huff came up in the bottom of the first I thought, shit, this is prime foul ball territory. Turns out I'm right again. |

 |
Dolphins & Rays
So here we are in Tampa Bay, and like the Sox we're here to stay loose and relax before the ride into the playoffs. |

Spine Tingles
Last week of the season, seven to go and up three loses. The cause of the sudden spine tingles I've started to have with more regularity? October Baseball. |

See Ya in Octoba
Unsure of the weather but very aware of the state of mind of the Baltimore fans, I head to Camden Yards wearing sunscreen but not underwear. |
| August 3, 2003 Red Sox vs. Orioles | |
 |
Slumps, Brooms and Groupies
Before the weekend if I had imagined sitting in the front row at Oriole Park saying "this team sucks" I would have thought I was talking about the guys with the birds on their caps. |

Oriole Park
On the flight down I told Cuj how I like watching Burkett pitch. He gave me a strange look, but I got him to agree that he's been throwing pretty well the last month or so. We also agreed that these guys better keep hitting like they have been, or the new pitching staff won't mean squat. |

Face Paint
We head into the stretch, this time behind, with renewed optimism amid the nagging questions. |
| July 18, 2003 Red Sox vs. Blue Jays | |
 |
Losing Ugly
Saturday night at the ol' ballyard leaves much time for pre game intoxicants, and precise timing of boosters thoughout the night is critical. |
| June 28, 2003 Red Sox vs. Marlins | |
 |
2:08
In tune with the season in general, another cold, dank, misty night. I have six layers of clothes on my torso, I remember when Memorial Day Weekend meant hit the beach. |
| May 23, 2003 Red Sox vs. Indians | |
 |
Sunday 2:05
Finally, baseball weather. |
| May 18, 2003 Red Sox vs. Angels | |

Ray Charles and the Gulf of Mexico
No, I didn't die in a fall from the roof boxes on Opening Day. I didn't get arrested for refusing to leave the Red Sox clubhouse after I had bribed my way in... |

The New Sox
In what is really their first full season, the New Sox continue to reframe the franchise. |
