Half Armenian, Full Eagle
While watching the World Series I noticed that behind home plate there was a green screen to display ads on. It was very weird to see because most parks will have rotating ads for even the fans at the game to look at, but not the Rockies. There was one angle where it would display ads and another angle that wouldn’t. Just an observation!!!
A picture of the 2004 Rolling Rally
Again the Red Sox will celebrate like they did in 2004 with a duck boat filled rolling rally, however, many people will not be attending. You see, the Boston mayor, Tom Menino decided that instead of waiting until Saturday when more people could attend, they are holding it on a Tuesday at noon which means most people will be at work. I am very upset because I really want to go into Boston but I can’t because of work. I can’t even take my lunch break to go down because I would not be able to find a parking spot within an hour and the MBTA would be a lot harder.
Below is the parade route in case you want to head in for yourself.

Since I had a wedding the night before they won the World Series, I was too tired to go into Boston that night and it was a Sunday and I had work in the morning. I was fine with it because I knew that they would have a rally (hopefully) on a Saturday, I was wrong. Red Sox nation spends 7 months (12 months if you follow breaking news all year) watching the Red Sox play and sit with them through the joys and sorrows of the season and the city of Boston repays us by holding it when most people can’t attend. I also don’t want to hear the saying “A true fan would miss work” because if I could I would but my work is launching our new website soon and I need to be there to fix any errors/additions that come up.
It’s alright, because I will just watch the coverage that is being streamed from myfoxboston.com on my other monitor while at work. (I will be getting work done while occasionally glancing over). For those of you who are going, enjoy the celebration and take lots of pictures.
A few years ago, Red Sox nation would say, “All I want is to see the Red Sox win the World Series in my lifetime.” For everyone who has been around for the past 4 seasons, have now seen two championships in their lifetime. This was an amazing season for the Red Sox who were in 1st place in the AL East since April 18th. They won the AL East, swept the Angels in the ALDS, came from behind against the Indians 3-1 to head to the World Series. Finally they swept the Rockies in the World Series for their 7th championship in franchise history.
I am going to put together a bigger article when I have more time to write it.
Mike “RBI” Lowell, was named the World Series MVP. The game ended at 12:04 on October 29, 2007
One more game to go before we bring another World Series Championship back to Boston. I will write more about the World Series if the Red Sox win game 4 and end the season with a ring and a celebration.
***My sister’s wedding was this weekend and that is why I haven’t written a lot the past few days. Sorry!***
