I know none of you care but ........ (the Baseball thread)

The Red Sox are ridiculously streaky at the moment.

10 losses followed by 7 wins followed by 3 losses

I'll be seeing them twice soon. Thu 12th against Cleveland and then Mon 16th against Minnesota.

In between I'm going up to Lowell for the first three games of the Spinners (Red Sox Minor League Short-Season A) season.

Shouldn't they be a Tigers minor league team?

2014 Trip-Game 1

First time at Fenway this season and I see a Sox victory over Cleveland, including a Big Papi home run.

Train to Lowell tomorrow for three Minor League games

I hope you are bringing me back a Red Sox present!

[UK Redsox]

Is there anything in particular you're after Mr Shin?

I'll be back in Boston again on Monday. I'll pick you up a programme at least.

[PeterWithesShin]

Anything interesting. A prog would be good, or a badge, fridge magnet. Or any old Red Sox tat really if i'm honest!

Blimey, two bomb scares in Lowell whilst I was at today's Spinners game

I heard all the sirens going but thought that it was just a car wreck somewhere

I walked past City Hall around 4:15, so must have missed the second incident by just a few minutes

That's a real shame, I was quite the fan of Gwynn in the 90s. Cracking hitter and seemed a nice guy.

Thank you very much Mr Sox. Hope you're having a good time.
