Red Sox v. Angels

7.29.08 - Boston, Mass. - John Lackey of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim came within two outs of throwing a no-hitter at Fenway Park, which would have been my third of the year (one high school and Lester's the other two). Alas, Dustin Pedroia sent a shot past Angels shortstop Malcer Izturis with one out in the ninth to break it up and Kevin Youkilis followed with a home run to give the Sox 2 runs in an otherwise mediocre performance. 

Almost a great photo, I blame Lackey.

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. 
Jed Lowrie hits on Sunday.
Pedroia hits his foot on Sunday.
Leann Rimes, Friday. 
Lugo's makes his mark on the Monster.
