| Indulging in a bit of revelry |
This is the sentiment that wafts through me walking around the ballpark for perhaps the last time this season. Peter, Isaac, Joe and I attend the last of our 6 ticket series, commenting on the great weather, a combination of a warm almost hot day with no rain in sight. We've arrived early enough to walk right up to the fence to see the whole bullpen doing pitching practice on the field (who knew!).
We settle into our seats to eat our lunches bought at the supermarket on the way to the Fern Rock subway station, talking about our hopes for the game.We want
1) an 8 1/2 inning game so we can go to the pool afterwards
2) Cole Hamels to win the game
3) Papelbon not to blow any leads
4) Cody Ashe to show his stuff
5) a win ( see #1).
And the result: They all come true. Hamels pitches brilliantly, Papelbon doesn't mess it up, Cody Ashe makes some beautiful plays from 3rd and
We win.
