Max and I went to the Sox vs. Rays game on Friday night to watch Lester load the bases in the pouring rain before the game was put on delay. Two and a half hours and a few hot dogs later, they called the game. Our tickets would be good for the day game on Sunday... which turned out to be PERFECT weather for baseball (even a bit on the hot side). Sox won 3-1 in fine fashion.(click images to see them larger)
Buchholz piched a gem. Kotsay, gathering up an overthrow to first, threw out the go-ahead run at the plate, and Oki came in to hold 'em in the eighth. In the bottom of the eighth, Poppi pinch-hit for Bay and blasted a double into right field. He was in turn, pinch-run by Joey Gathright. Elsbury bunted him to 3rd (and almost beat the throw to first himself). Then, Pedroia tried to sac-fly Gathright home and ended up hitting himself a 2-run homer. Papelbon came on in the 9th to close it out and the Sox had 2 out of 3 from the Rays. Later they would win the 2nd game of the Double header to complete the sweep.

Nice, we've had great tix for the Rockies recently, but nothing compared to a Sox game
