A Cry for Help

Wow, that was cool.

Tonight, Em and I went to the first screening of a Red Sox game at the Providence Place movie theater. First, can we all take a minute to appreciate how ridiculous Sox fans are? I'm guessing, but I bet no other baseball team could even consider charging $5 to show a game that's readily available on cable.

Turnout was decent, plenty of room, but full enough for lots of clapping and whooping. They had hot dogs and beer (which they stopped serving after the 7th inning, just like at Fenway!), plus we got free t-shirts and there were two sets of tickets for tomorrow's game raffled off. The high def picture was beautiful. Clapping and yelling in a movie theater was a little weird, but all in all it was a great experience. I recommend it to any Sox fans.

It helped that the game was awesome. Vintage Pedro threw eight two-hit innings, and the Boston Nine won 1-0. Sharing a 30 foot screen with a roomful of Sox fans made it even better.
