Doesn't it seem like forever since the Red
Sox played in Camden Yards?
That's because it has been. The Red
Sox played their last game there on August 20
th, 2008 (a game that most of us tried to quickly forget -
Buchholz only
lasted 2.1 innings giving up 5 ER and the S
ox lost 11-6). Usually the
Sox have a series in Baltimore in April or May, but this year first visit to the Yards has come much later.
In recent years, Red
Sox Nation has filled the seats in Camden Yards making it seem like a home game for the
Sox. This series should be no different.
O's fans are struggling to deal with a rebuilding year. Many of them are ready to jump off the Matt
Weiters (
three throwing errors in four games) bandwagon before it truly gets rolling, causing Baltimore Sun
O's blogger Peter Schmuck to write a blog post titled, "
Time to Mellow Out."The
Sox swept the
O's in a 4 game series back in April. Let's hope they keep the wins coming in
Baltimore.
