Last Night at Fenway
We made it to Fenway Park last night, and with traffic we didn't get there until the bottom of the second. That gave us about 1/2 hour rain free. We sat on the right field roof in the beer garden for the first time, and I highly recommend it. Here's the view from our table:
We brought along my daughter's friend Ally. It was her first time at Fenway. Melinda is on the left, Ally on the right:
Clement was knocked around in the top of the third, allowing three runs on two doubles and two singles. He was getting booed as the hits continued to pile on. Loe, however, had little problem with the Red Sox. He did get into a second and third, one-out jam in the bottom of the third, but induced two ground balls to get out of the inning unscathed. It was that inning that the rain started, and the grounds crew did an incredible job making the field playable between innings so they could make in an official game. I was actually surprised they played the top of the sixth, but Texas was able to add two runs to make the final 6-0.
Despite the rain, it was a fun evening. We had a table on the roof, and that comes with $100 worth of food. We didn't get to the limit, but we had good service, and home plate shaped table with swivel seats (they look like baseballs). If you get the chance, check it out sometime.
