Red Sox Team Photo

8.15.08 - Boston, Mass. - The Team Photo was taken as well on Friday and included a visit to the carpenter's shop under the left field grandstand. It pretty much works out exactly like any group photo you've ever been apart of...only with the Boston Red Sox. Luckily the threatening skies held off and we got the photo done. Not without some consternation about the scoreboard message, stand setup and the correct amount and size of the ladders used. 

Keeping the troops in line. 
Ortiz arriving a bit tardy. 
Here are those threatening skies I was talking about. 
Lowell and Delcarmen, homies. 
Mike Ivins, the intrepid photographer. 
Staff photo has little different feel when you work for the Sox.

Red Sox v. Yankees

7.27.08 - Boston, Mass. - Wasn't the best series for Boston (even Mike Lowell got ejected), but Leann Rimes did sing the national anthem on Friday and Julio Lugo signed the Green Monster in a guest appearance at the Monster Mash, sponsored by the Red Sox Foundation. 

Lowell takes exception to umpire Marty Foster's called third strike at the end of the Sox 1-0 loss, Friday.
