It Rained On Our Division Title

2008 September 27

Jack and I went to the Sox game last night, and we were both really stoked because it was our first Sox-Yankees game. Unfortunately it didn’t work out too well.

First, the start was delayed about an hour and a half. That was ok, Jack and I expected this and just chilled at the apartment until NESN said the game was gonna start, so we didn’t have to sit out in the cold.

So here’s the view from the seats we had

Then just into the fifth inning, some serious rain started and we went into rain delay. When you’re down 12-5 at this point, you kinda cheering for the rain hoping they’ll call the game. That’s what we did.

Rain Delay

Because the game had a delayed start there were a good number of people who just didn’t show up, during the rain delay even more people left and fenway got pretty empty.

Once the game restarted we upgraded. These seats were about ten rows back from the field, right next to the red sox on deck circle.

Then the iPhone camera glitched. I’m pretty disappointed Apple hasn’t fixed this yet. It also still takes about 6 seconds for the iPhone camera to start up to a point where you can take a picture. That makes it really tough to get a quick picture, which hinders the benefits of having a super mobile camera built into your phone.

Eventually we re-upgraded and this time our seats were in the third row. It was pretty awesome, we didn’t manage to get a ball though. We got to see Jacoby a couple times, he’s pretty awesome.

The end of the game was a bit rough, but at least we scored a few runs. We’re pretty sure they scored those runs because Jack and I put on our rally caps for the bottom of the ninth.

Then after the game we met up with more friends
