Hope you enjoyed your stay in this neck of the woods regardless of the games’ outcomes. Oh, and I just bought “The Soul of Baseball” at Barnes and Noble. Paid full retail, gladly at that.

Your comment on the Citgo sign was good. If you take tour of the park there was a hitter who focused on the sign. The way he read the Citgo sign was

C – It – Go (See it go)

“Gravy-stained hacks” would be a great name for a rock band.

Wait, whose blog is this again?

I have been going to Fenway for close to 30 years. I haev never paid for parking. Its in a freakin’ neighborhood. Surrounded by other neighborhoods. Free parking galore, if you’re willing to walk 15-20 minutes, which is probably less time that it would take to get the car out of one of those jam-packed parking lots anyway.

This Boston fan was happy to see the Royals in town. First for the obvious reason–the result was not unexpected. But also, I was looking forward to reading Posnanski on the Sox. A refreshing change from the bitter, gravy-stained hacks that are left at the Globe and Herald, most of whom combine Joe Morgan’s “insight” with Buzz Bissinger’s “open-mindedness.” For that reason alone, I hope the Royals do well enough for some October baseball.

Thanks for the memories, KC! Joe, did you ever get to the North End and find any “real” eye-talian food?

Oh, Joe. No, no.

Over in the game thread at RR, I asked the snarky question “Over/under on first ‘Pena would have gotten to both of those balls’ comment?”

I never dreamed that it’d come from you, of all people.

Pena probably would have *gotten* to both balls. There’s no way in hell he’d have thrown either of them out, however.

Bah…Royals got the tying run at the plate…a wasted opportunity if you ask me.

I really don’t want Matsuzaka leading the league in wins this year. (Go Wang!)

Parking, schmarking. Best decision I ever made was to leave Johnson County for Boston. 15 years now without a stinking car. And by my calculation, State Farm has collected about $28,000 less money from me. Yeah, I was a bad driver — worked out well for everyone.

Now I just hope the Sox & Royals never have to play against each other in a meaningful late-season game. I have two masters!

//try parking for a game at Fenway. Only the ultra-rich need apply.//

Show your Red Sox ticket and you can park all day at the Prudential Center for 15 bucks.
