It was an unlucky thirteenth for the Boston Red Sox this evening. I watched the game at Camden Yards. Despite cheering on the Sox in the cold and the rain, they fell short in extra innings. Although the game was played in Baltimore, it might as well have been a home game considering the strong fan support from Red Sox Nation. BoSox fans were loud and proud, even in defeat.

Every loss is tough. But seeing Ellis Burks back in a Red Sox uniform, nay, seeing Ellis Burks homer again in a Red Sox uniform--seventeen years after watching him patrol Fenway Park's centerfield in his rookie season--was worth the price of admission.
