Once again, we were fortunate enough to get two Red Sox tickets, which are almost impossible to get these days. This time, Steve and Erik went to the game featuring the Boston Red Sox against the Toronto Blue Jays.
We had great seats, 6 rows behind the Red Sox dugout on the first base line.
The starting lineups were announced...
...and then Erik's favorite player, Manny Ramirez, led the charge onto the field.
"Big Papi" David Ortiz had a couple of hits on the night and Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield was okay, but the Red Sox couldn't manage to score any runs, foiled a few times by hitting hard shots right at Blue Jay defenders.
Steve & Erik even put on their "rally caps" with the hope of drumming up a little offense, but it wasn't to be on this night.
A. J. Burnett and the Toronto Blue Jays were too much for the Red Sox and beat them 3-0. Toronto closer B. J. Ryan came in to close the game in the 9th inning and it was all over.
In spite of the final score, we had a great time in seats that were very close to the field. Who says you have to win to have fun?
