Justin Masterson, Jed Lowrie, and a whirlwind update

April 27, 2008

Don’t ask me how, but I managed to go to all but two games on the first two homestands at Fenway, and one of the two games I missed was a day we chose to go to Pawtucket instead!  So I have not made the progress I had hoped on my Spring Training photos.  However, I did finally get thumbnail links for everything that’s done on the main page!

So…

Spring Training pages all have thumbs now.  I will shortly caption the minor league pages, as I know those might be the toughest to pick out; if you’re interested, though, you could also check out my posts in the Pics forum at soxprospects, a terrific resource for the Sox farm teams!

I have pages done (or semi-done, since nothing’s finished!) for the Yankees series (April 11, April 12 and April 13), for Jed Lowrie’s Fenway debut on April 18, for games against the Rangers April 20 and April 21, and last but very definitely not least for Justin Masterson’s major league debut against the Angels on April 24.  Some decent ones in the last two Yankee games; the ones from Lowrie’s debut were all exceedingly dark due to camera operator error .  made up for it a bit with Masterson, though I do wish I’d had a slightly better seat!

Next up: the ones from Dave Pauley’s return to Fenway April 22, the PawSox and their ring ceremony, and going back to Spring Training for some nice shots from behind the home plate screen!
