JASON DAY AT FENWAY SOUTH!!!!!!
August 19, 2008
WHAT A GAME LAST NIGHT AT CAMDEN YARDS.....AKA FENWAY SOUTH!
WELL, TO START THINGS OFF JASON BAY.....AKA JAY-BAY......GOT THINGS GOING IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GONNA BE A PITCHING DUEL WITH A NICE SOLO SHOT TO RIGHT CENTER! PUTTING THE GOOD GUYS ON TOP 1-0 IN THE 2ND INNING!
JUST THREE BATTERS LATER, OUR FEARLESS CAPTAIN, WHO HAS BEEN STRUGGLING AT BAT AS OF LATE TO SAY THE LEAST, STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND KEPT THE "JASON DAY" GOING. DELIVERING A SOLO SHOT OF HIS OWN TO RIGHT FIELD, THE CROWD ROARED ONCE AGAIN. THE SOX GO UP 2-0!
AS THE GAME ROLLED ON, AND IT BECAME PRETTY MUCH THE PITCHING DUEL I MENTIONED EARLIER......IT WASNT UNTIL THE 8TH INNING THAT ROCKY CHERRY FACED BIG PAPI WHO TAPPED THE BALL FOR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SURE OUT AT FIRST BASE.......BUT A FORMER SOX PLAYER WHO SOME WOULD SAY WISH HE WAS STILL PART OF THE WINNING FAMILY, BOBBLED THE BALL ALLOWING ORTIZ TO REACH! THANKS KEVIN MILLAR.....WE STILL LOVE YA! WELL, THAT PROVED TO BE A COSTLY MISTAKE ON THE ORIOLES PART AS JASON BAY STEPPED UP AND BANGED A SLIDER FROM CHERRY GIVING HIM HIS SECOND HOMER OF THE NIGHT! AS HE ROUNDED THE BASES, HE COULDNT BELIEVE THE THUNDEROUS ROAR FROM THE CROWD BEING ON THE ROAD. IN HIS OWN WORDS:
"To be honest with you, it didn't even occur to me that we were on the road, even in warmups," said Bay, who went 3-for-5 with four RBIs. "And they had told me that when we came here, it was going to be like that a lot. That's something I'm definitely not accustomed to. Pretty neat. It was a pretty neat little experience."
WELL, THATS JUST SOMETHING HE'LL HAVE TO GET USED TO PLAYING FOR THE TEAM WITH THE MOST FANS IN "ANY" SPORT IN THIS COUNTRY!
ALL-IN-ALL JAY-BAY HIT TWO HOMERS AND DROVE IN 4! TO CALL THIS JASON DAY AT FENWAY SOUTH IS SOMEWHAT OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT! IT WAS CLEAR WHO THE MAJORITY OF THE CROWD WAS THERE TO SEE AS THE "LET'S GO RED SOX" CHANTS WERE FAR LOUDER THAN THE MEASILY "LET'S GO O'S" CHANTS! AND THE OVERWHELMING CHEERS FOR THE NEWEST MEMBER OF OUR SLUGGING BATTALION HOPEFULLY MADE HIM FEEL RIGHT AT HOME! HERE'S TO THE JASON'S FOR PUTTING ON A GREAT SHOW AT OUR SOUTH VENUE......AND A BIG CHEER FOR ANOTHER RED SOX WIN......THE REPEAT TOUR CONTINUES..........GO SOX!
