Finally!! I looked out my school window a few hours ago toward the stadium and the traffic was already crazy. Luckily I'm in KY so I don't have to drive through that mess.

They were telling people to get there about 10-11:00 AM so they can get in on time (because of all the security for President Bush)

You could just attempt to like the ChiSox...?

I embraced that years ago and I'm much happier now.

Should've seen Ortiz's face when he didn't get the HR.

I heard they were planning on moving him to long relief if he has a lot of trouble in the later innings of his starts. Know anything about it? I can't remember the source...

Just read this on the way in today - http://redsox.bostonherald.com/redSo...ticleid=133364

We'll have to wait and see if he can hold on to the starter's role...

I'm not liking it either. I thought it was bad enough when Rocket went to the Yankees. I still can't believe Damon went to NY too.

That's story is similar to the one I read. He sounds pretty confident about his arm so hopefully he's not just saying that...

Pujols is on pace for 324 HRs and 648 RBIs.

I guess Rolen isn't hurting too bad today.

So cool.

The past few years I've learned to start looking for the fly-over fighters way ahead of time and have actually been able to just barely spot them coming down from NH and circling way, way out until it's their time. Then they start getting bigger and bigger and you can actually get a pretty good view of them as they're crossing Fenway.

Not nearly as cool as seeing a B-2 though.

Pffft. That's nothing. My ChiSox are on pace for a 162-win season.

My office is just a couple blocks away from Camden Yards. Well I heard a loud "boom," and about 30 seconds later I heard the call on the radio/internet of Tejada going deep, followed by fireworks, which explained the boom. Then the audio went dead for a few min. and I heard 2 booms about 2 min. apart, then I found later that Matos and Mora had gone back-to-back.
