I went with my two brothers and my sis in law to the red sox game tonight
There was a 70% chance of heavy rain between 3-7pm.
We went to game two of a double header and we werent sure if game was would be delayed by the weather forecast., never mind the second game getting how.
So the Baseball God talked to mother nature for me and not only was there no rain, it was a beautiful night out.

Jacoby Ellsbury hit his second home run of the day and previously Jason Varitek hit a home run as well. Unfortunately, both homeruns were solo shots and we managed only one other hit, being a single.
Ellsbury was the first player to get a home run in each games of a double header for the Red Sox since Trot Nixon did it in 1993
There was something historicle that happened in this game. Something that is extremely rare. So much so, of all the hundreds of baseball games that I have been to in the last 22 years, this was the first time I have ever been witness to...a tripple play.
Dating back to 1876, there has been 686 tripple plays.
The last time the Red Sox turned a tripple play was 1994 when John Valintine pulled off the extremely rare (1 of 9) unassisted tripple plays in baseball recorded history.
Tampa also stole home, in part of a double steel
last fact: in today's style of baseball, with middle relief and closers and set up men and specialty's...
Tampa Bay's starting pitchers for both games of the double header, both pitched complete games.
Besides the basb baseball stuff, we went to a restaurant called "church" it had a restaurant side and a club side. We sat on the club side and I dont know why it wasnt more filled up as there was no one on the stage or on the dance floor. People just ate at the hightop tables or at the bar. They had a mix of 3 punk cds going. I enjoyed it and the food, although I got just a burger and fries, they were really good.
