View from the Seats: View from the Suite

Today, for a change of pace, I'm not at a New York sporting event, but at a White Sox vs. Red Sox game at Fenway Park. Want to give a big H/T to Elissa for the seats (and a big shout out to Kids In Crisis).

The picture is an action shot of Mark Buehrle picking off Darnell McDonald in the first inning. It's a beautiful day here in Boston and although I'm not sure I would call this park a "beautiful little bandbox", it's a fun place to watch a game (as long as you're not behind a pole or in an otherwise obstructed or broken seat). The sightlines are usually pretty good and you have a much better sense of how well-hit a ball is off the bat (especially compared to Yankee Stadium). And the suites here on the EMC level are a lot of fun with good food and drinks.

It's not been so much fun these days for the BoSox as they have fallen 10 games behind the Yankees and, according to Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe, only had a little over a 4% chance of making the playoffs coming into today. The ChiSox swept a double header yesterday (both 3-1) and go for the hammer this afternoon. Checking in on a Sunday afternoon from an unusually quiet Fenway Park.
