What a fabulous win tonight! Lester is the man!
Thought I'd share a few more of the photos from Game 1...if you click on some of these, there are additional pics below them on my Flickr site. First, the Manager:
And Game 1's first pitch:
Lester pitching to Molina:
Papi comes home in the 7th:
The man...Jon Lester:
And the final score for Game 1....
Hope to see some more pics from this one and the other games, as Game 1 is the only one I could make...

Have to try to get work done today (it ain't easy!) but will post a few throughout the day. Not the greatest camera but took a few shots last night. AMAZING night!
Wow, some tremendous pix here!
I had my iPhone video cam running for Victorino's GS in ALCS G6 and posted it in that game thread after the fact. Here it is again...(I'm not sure if it's OK to post vids in this thread; please let me know if you'd like me to remove it):

Curt pregame on the ESPN stage.
Someone made quite the trip. Saw this on Yawkey Way prior to the game.
Counting down the outs. There was a lot of this going on in the bleachers once it got to three.
This is where a large contingent of Cardinal fans were sitting (friends and family maybe). Early in the game they had the whole towel waving going on. Shocked they were pretty much cleared out at the end, good riddance.
Shane hanging by himself for a minute while everyone else was in the infield.
Family time in the outfield.
The on field stage about to be broken down underneath the bleachers.
He's going to bask in his 15 minutes as much as humanly possible.
Kinda like this guy has...
I couldn't believe last night was the first night this message was on the Pru. Taken on the way back to the garage trying to navigate the revised BPD mandated route.

This was family and front office. If they hadn't left in the 8th inning it would have been very difficult for them to get to the Family room, etc.
Testing... my favorite shot from Wednesday night, Farrell's first attempt to take the ball from Lackey.
It worked! So, a few more...
It's like someone put Zeus in a hoodie.
"NOW ON FOX, DAVID ORTIZ COLLECTS HIS THOUGHTS QUIETLY BEFORE GAME SIX OF THE WORLD SERIES!" (Seriously, one thing that's really amazing about being at the game is the way the media and cameras are everywhere.)
("Dammit, I'm going to get Brandon Workman in front of that World Series banner if it's the last thing I do.")
Drew joy.
Grainy Gomes joy.
Fireworks!
(... where the hell did the Monster go?)
Still workin' on 'em... gallery here.

Kelly, that pic of Gomes, although grainy, may be one of my favorties in here. He looks like a damn angel coming in from left field.
Great pictures! Comment on this one, the rookie Xander with his head cocked looks like he has no idea how this one is going to turn out. Actually, same with the grizzled veterans in the picture, but Xander looked so innocent and cute.sittingstill said:

Al Zarilla said:
Thanks! (I think Xander was checking to see if Lackey was actually breathing fire.)
A few from the parade:
(Xander signed a ball for someone on the route--here he's trying to make sure he throws it to the right person. I did a lousy job in the low light with his skin tone but I hope some of his elegance comes across.)
On the curvy part of Boylston, between Fenway and Mass Ave. Same place I wound up in 2007, for the same reason--it wasn't nearly as crowded as spots a few hundred yards away.Bierman9 said:
A great choice - were you up high, Kelly? You had a pretty good vantage point, wherever it was...and with the fall colors behind the guys in some of those, it sets the scene perfectly. Really lovely!!
Thanks to a very kind fellow-SoSHer, I landed inside the Park for some of the pre-rally festivities...I also worked my way over to the Cambridge side of the river before the boats hit the water, so as you might imagine, I have a bunch of pics. I thought I'd share some of the pics I caught at the Park first and will have to catch up with others, as I can...first, a pano of the park when I first arrived:
Then, some familiar folks took the mike...please notice that Jon Lester was wearing the home jersey with "Boston" on the front, rather than the more traditional home jersey...thought that was pretty neat!
Bogaerts - seriously, how lucky does this guy feel?
And, Pedey:
More to follow in the coming days...hope you enjoy them...

Beards on the boats
Heidi who?
I hope the union covers shoulder surgery. He's going to need it.
Gammo hanging out.
Mr. party starter.
The trophy.
Acknowledging the marathon survivors up in the EMC level.
Survivors up in the EMC area.
Ben and John bookending Orsillo's large melon. It was a bitch trying to get photos from my angle with that huge orb in the way.
See what I mean?
This kid seemed quite happy.
Little Pedey and littler Pedey.
Big smile.
Chief being transported to his duck boat.
Gomes auditioning for a role with the DKM's.
Buchholz taking shots of the Fenway crowd.
Mr. Ross is happy.
All smiles.

What are you talking about, Jim?!! Those are OUTSTANDING!! You had a great vantage point...you were a lot closer than I was...and that pic of the fans on the field - really awesome!! It was really crazy at the end there...LOVE your pics!!
Thanks. I'm still pretty new at taking DSLR pictures and I was having a tough time dealing with lighting. The only downside of the day is my monopod went MIA when it detached from my backpack either on the field or on the way out of the park.amh03 said:

edit: I thought it would replace my mispelled "Buchholz"...

Ahhh ok...for a minute there I thought it was some 100 yr old history that I should be embarrassed about not knowing...whew!
That's pretty cool, Bierman9...where exactly are you in there?
I have a few more to share from around the Park, and then some from the river...still working through them (between other projects). If you click on any of the first 3 of these, you can scroll down for a few other related images:
This is from the post-rally walk around the field:
And then I headed over to the Cambridge side of the river:
That's it for tonight...hope you enjoy them...

Napoli & Gomes chillin':
Saltalamacchia (click on this one and scroll down to see another pic with Dempster):
Ortiz & Victorino (click on this one for another pic with Little Ortiz):
Peavy's boat:
And one last pano-style of the scene:
When's the next one?

Wow these are all so good. Went over to the park today and caught this one of the scoreboard, thought it may interest some here:
Fantastic stuff, didn't make it anywhere useful with a camera in October, so thanks folks for keeping this thread busy and full!

A few non-traditional Fenway shots.
Sign in the Sox dugout. I'm unsure if the edit was a Sox player or a random fan, either way it's probably how the players feel.
Wally taking some cuts. He was remarkably good considering he was trying to swing in that outfit.
"Fox talent"? That's an oxymoron.
An ALF clock in the clubhouse? There's got to be a story behind this, right?

Forgive my indulgence but I've been wanting to share this image all year. It was one of the most precious moments of the season for me and my family. It was Thursday, July 11th and the Red Sox were in town for a rare weekday day game. I took the day off of work and got the best tickets I could for the family - row 11 on the 3rd base side. It was an absolute gorgeous Seattle summer day to sit out in the sun and watch some baseball.
Around the 7th inning, the Mariner season ticket holders in the first row left and they gave us their tickets. This picture is actually a screen capture of the NESN feed right after my daughter got a foul ball - the second one they got in two innings. They were ecstatic.
See that strange expression on my children's faces? That smile thing? How rare is it to have kids sit down and watch a game for 4 hours in the blazing sun and all still have a smile on their faces at the end?
And, oh yeah, we won!
