Rays Down Sox in Game Two

Hey, fellas, it was only Game Two, not the series!

I actually watched the entire game. Well, almost, I did nod out from time to time during the five hour battle. I did watch the entire fifth inning, which was amazing. Over fifty-three minutes, and three solo homers from the Sox. If you watched the game, you know what kind of excitement was generated. Then the long drought ... everlasting for the Sox. What a shame.

Look at the photo above and see what a positive glimmer of hope can do for a team.

Sox Down Rays in Game One

Last night was the first game in the American League Championship Series between the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Boston Red Sox. If you are a Red Sox fan, I'm sure you already know Dice-K pitched the Red Sox to a 2-0 win over the Rays. I happened to be in the Tampa area yesterday and was able to get this photo of a St Pete Time's distribution box, complete with special inserted signs. I wonder if the Boston Globe is rooting on the home team in a similar fashion? [Photo of Dice-K downloaded from the internet.]

Boston Deli

I spotted this deli in Port Richey, Florida, today, August 6, 2008.

Evelyn's

Evelyn's New England Seafood is a small, but popular restaurant in St Cloud, Florida. I picked up a menu the other day expecting to find something with "Boston" in the title, you know, like Boston Scrod, or maybe a side of Boston Baked Beans, but there was no mention of Boston at all. How sad. They do offer plenty of New England favorites, though.

Boston Lobster Feast

Located on Highway 192 in Kissimmee and a favorite of tourists.

Boston Market

At the corner of Dyer Blvd and Hwy 192 in Kissimmee. I liked this restaurant best when I discovered it in Newton in the late 80's/early 90's, and it was called Boston Chicken!

Boston Garden, Celebration, Florida

A courtyard designed for outdoor dining at the Celebration Town Tavern.

Boston Beef & Seafood

I spotted this restaurant, which was closed at the time, when I drove through Cape Canaveral on Sunday, May 18, 2008. The "flag" you see flapping in the wind is a Boston Red Sox banner.

Boston Dance Connection

I thought it might be interesting to post pictures of "stuff" I find in Florida that is related to Boston in some way, since I can't take pictures of Boston, and I've pretty much run out of postable photos until I find my missing prints, or convert some slides to digital. (Was that a run-on sentence?)

I drove by this place in Hudson, Florida the other day, and stopped to take a few pictures.
