Camden Yards

Enjoyed my first road game ever last night, rooting for the sox with some 13,000 other Red Sox fans at Camden Yards last night. Having such a large visitor contingent was great. It was a game that would have been admittedly dull at Fenway - a 10 run lead with Pedro pitching well but not stunningly - but the heckling, shouting and competing chants of the two different sides made it an engaging game right through the ninth inning, when a group of fat O's fans started chanting "1918" right behind us.

Actually, they started by chanting "1912" until I corrected them.

The Red Sox looked alive, that was the best thing. With two more W's (tonight's will be the toughest), we could have a 5-game win streak and be poised to move out of the .500 twilight zone.
