The home opener at Fenway Park is always a highly anticipated event for Red Sox fans. When the team is coming off a World Series Championship and there is going to be a ring ceremony and other festivities prior to the game, the anticipation gets taken to another level. While today was the day Red Sox Nation had anticipated since October, the 9th inning implosion was something we always hope to avoid.
Since we all know the result of the game (6-2) and no one wants to completely rehash the events, I'm going to give you the good, bad and ugly from my point of view today.
The Good-
The Good-
- The pre-game ceremony was great as far as I can tell. I didn't get to see a whole lot of it because I was in route to Fenway and outside the park prior to the first pitch.
- Bruschi, Varitek, Brown, Lowell, etc
- The rings
- Peralta wiping out
- Asian ginger chicken wings at Jerry Remy's
- Red Sox pitching innings 1-8
The Bad-
- No parking at Alewife- You'd think they could maybe have a sign on route 2 giving you a heads up or something.
- No parking at Prudential center
- Stuck in traffic in a tunnel thinking you are going to run out of gas.
The Ugly-
- Mujica and Miller's 9th inning
- 5 hits
- 10 LOB
- Cold, windy and eventually wet weather
- Nava leading off
- Lead off doubles for the opposing team
