If nothing else, we can say we weren’t swept!
This was my view for the first six innings of the ballgame. That means I got to be a part of the exciting fourth inning when the Sox loaded the bases and brought home Thome, Konerko, and Griffery Jr.
Sox fans!
While Wrigley is a great place to watch a ballgame, the Cell is a far easier place to work. Access into the stadium is extremely easy and the rooms are very spacious. Unlike the claustrophobic media room at Wrigley, the Cell’s media room is an auditorium. And while there was a boxed sandwich lunch for the media at Wrigley, it was food stations inside a lounge at the Cell. Quite different.
Before the game, we got one interview with Nick Swisher in the Sox dugout. At the end of the game, we weren’t able to grab any of the players on the field, so we had to go in the clubhouse to get sound bites from Ken Griffey Jr. and Gavin Floyd. So, I got to walk onto the field, hang out in the dugout, watch the game, get fed, and spend time in the clubhouse. All in a day’s work! Seeing as tickets (if you were lucky enough to purchase them at regular price) were running at $50 on the low end, I feel rather lucky!
Today, the Sox will hope to stay alive once more with Game 4 against the Tampa Rays. Go Sox!
And because you can’t get enough of batting practice, here we go once more:
