Midnight, and we just got back to my sister and brother-in-law's house from watching the Red Sox win a come-from-behind victory versus the Oakland A's. Despite thunderstorm warnings, we enjoyed a beautiful night--in a t-shirt on June 1!--with amazing field box seats looking right at home plate. It seemed like it was going to be an Oakland blow out, but then the Sox rallied in the sixth with Beltre's home run into the Monster seats and ended up winning 9-4. Also cool was the pedicab ride to and from Fenway. Our first cyclist was coincidentally the son of people my sister and I know in Maine; the second was a stand-up comedian in his free time (and apparently also on his bike).

Hot night at Fenway:
Beltre's belting made up for
Lackey lacking strikes.
