ALCS Game 4

Game 4 must have been important, as Channel 19 was there. (They're Everywhere.)

















I was in attendance at Game 4 of the Indians-Red Sox ALCS last night with Gale. I was able to snag some mezzanine tickets from eBay at a decent price, so we went. A crowd of 44,008 attended. Not sure if the three empty seats next to me were included in that total.

Not an epic game by any means, as the Indians scored 7 runs in the fifth and Boston put up 3 in the sixth (on three consecutive homers). Manny was the third one up and hit another touchdown. I'm starting to think we are a bit sensitive in this town.

During the Yankees series, it was LeBron's hat in Game 1. Then it was that tired argument that the "national announcers" have it in for the Indians. Oddly enough, that argument kicked into high gear after Game 3, a loss. Last night, it was Manny posing. Who cares? We are up 3-1 on the Sox. The Sox are hanging on the edge of a cliff, and we are stepping on their fingers. Tomorrow, with heavy pressure by C.C., maybe they'll succumb.

Here are some photos.

Relatively little advertising around the park, but Sharp showed up in a big way. Note the hordes of interested spectators.

















I insist Bob Feller is mad they put a shirt on his statue. Here's Rapid Robert getting dressed before the game.

The Fat Furry Fuck was nearby.













On a night where I saw these jerseys: 17 Aaron Boone, 55 Sammy Stewart, 24 Roger Dorn is in the house!












An old-timer in front of us had this sign. "Climb the Rockies?"


















Street Nine. Postgame. Before everyone got to their transport home. Have a good night, everybody!

Hate to pee on the parade, but does Chief Wahoo gotta go? The red-faced guys (you see them all the time) are an abomination. If that was black face, they wouldn't get near the park.

All about Wedgie.

Let's see if Terry Francona plays Jacoby Ellsbury in Game 5. All of New England is begging for that move.
