Have you been there?

Fenway is awesome.

Nope, Fenway is still stupid.

I've never been, but would like to go. I'm sure it is a great looking park with great atmosphere and history, but I just don't get the design.

Actually I just read this article and it changed my mind a little. I guess it does add flavour to the game with every park being a little different.

And so part of the glory of Boston's Fenway Park is the Green Monster, that towering wall in left field. Nobody reaches over the top of the Monster to snatch away a home run. Yet over in right center field in the same ballpark, the bullpen wall is short enough to take an outfielder's legs out from under him as he's speeding for a catch.


Still, I wanted to know more. Why is it, for instance, that it's 314 feet down the right-field line in Yankee Stadium, but 326 feet in Seattle?

Goins with the glove.

The Road Hutchison finally showed up. This is going to be an awful night.

Hutch has been nibbling and overthrowing all night...Papi finally made him pay with a bomb to CF. 4-0 Red Sox.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Hutch getting knocked around like crazy in the 3rd, capped off with a 3 run shot by Ortiz.

Sigh.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

4 runs all with 2 out. Can't let that happen.

[Jason14h]

Every pitch misses Martin's glove by 5 inches. So annoying.

[GirlySports]

That moustache looks stupid

[Sylvanfan]

Tulowitzky can't hit...now prove me wrong.

[GirlySports]

At least Martin cant gidp here

[Karl]

C'mon Martin...jeez!

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Martin leaves 3 on base. Darn.

[Karl]

And Kelly gets off the hook. SMFH

[MRCboicgy]

Just can't do that.
