[Baseball] Red Sox

2-5, Red Sox
First game of the consecutive two days doubleheaders.
Two things worth to remember this day. First, 3 hours burning sun in main box. Yes, never sit on the third base side of the main box in an afternoon game. But just because I sit in the last section of main box on the third base side, which is right next to Red Sox's bullpen, that I have the second thing worth to remember that day: the sound Josh Beckett's fast ball pounded into Doug Mirabelli's glove.

[Baseball] Dodgers vs Mets

Finally got the chance to visit Shea Stadium.
Hong-Chih Kuo's first Major League start, and first win. 5-0 Dodgers.
But honestly, I was more thrilled to see Nomar Garciaparra on first base.
