It's Sunday and it's another Boston Red Sox game that I'm watching in my favorite New England sports living bar. The other regular, Rich, is on his baseball park road trip and so Andrew, of course is here and I believe the bar's new owner, Grant, is the man who is sitting at the bar. Because of the World Cup, the bar is offering breakfast specials, so I'm trying out one of them. Boston has done well in the past week - all alone in third place in the AL East, splitting with Cleveland, taking the first two from the Philadelphia Phillies, and a new addition to Red Sox and Major League history - Daniel Nava hit his first pitch of his major league career for a grand slam in Fenway Park! People are coming in to watch the Germany/Australia soccer match, so no sounds of the Sox just visuals. This should be interesting. In any case, Beltre has hit a homerun - catching up to the number of errors he has. In a turn of events, the Phillies have taken the lead - hope this doesn't last long. There has been some scoring in the soccer match, but the people here are not happy, they are rooting for Australia. Now if only the Red Sox could score. And a dart player has come into the bar. Boston looks like they'll have something going in the sixth. Come on Lowell! Flied out. The noise level has definitely increased in the bar - frustration is being to show. More German scoring. Meanwhile, back at Fenway, Boston still isn't scoring. A sweep is looking unlikely. Germany won. A little hope in the ninth. Well not enough hope. No sweep for Boston, but they do get the series win. And in a nod to the other Boston team playing today - Good Luck Celtics!
