A Great End to a Long Wet Home Stand

Hey. Exciting blog today!

So the weather like changed drastically and all those showers we were supposed to get last night, never came. All the thunderstorms and showers we were supposed to get today came as only mist and drizzle. So we were able to have a game!! Got to work at 7 and took the tarp off and worked on the field a bit. I cleaned all the peanut shells and sunflower seeds off the warning track while others were assigned different tasks. When we got the field game ready we put the tarp back on until right before the game when we took it off and got the field ready again for the game.

Today was pretty exciting as I got to sit in the runway with my boss and 3 other guys. The runway is the space in between the Sox dugout and the Sox locker room. We have to sit there during rainy games just in case we are called out onto the field to do mound work or plate work. Turns out we didn't have to do any of that, so I got to sit just outside the Sox dugout for the game. Not a bad seat eh? Watched as Wakefield would pace around in between innings then go sit down on a chair and watch the game from a TV. After David Ortiz (big papi) hit his hr he came down and gave us all high fives and said "yeah bitches!!" haha. Listened to Pedroia and Youkilis cuss up a storm after striking out or doing something wrong. Pretty crazy. Exciting day none the less. The Sox won in walk off fashion today as Nick Green hit a solo hr to lead off the bottom of the ninth. They won 6-5.

I have the day off tomorrow and then back at it on Tuesday. Hope all you Fathers had a great day today.

Dad-Love you, and Happy Fathers Day again!
Family-Miss you a lot.
Julie and Russ-congrats on the new baby to come! Boy number 4? Perhaps?? :)
