Red Sox and Dirty Water

Down by the River...
Down by the banks of the River Charles

(Oh, that's what's happenin' baby)

That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves.

(Ahh, but they're cool people)

I love that dirty water
'Oh oh, Boston, you're my home

Colin and I went to the game last night. Perfect weather. The Standells played "Dirty Water" to get the whole place in the mood. Didn't see a single halo fan. Josh Beckett was unbelievable (fastball, curveball) and unhittable. When the top of the ninth came, we were looking at the bullpen and waiting to see who would be coming out. It took me a while to realize that no one was coming out and, lo and behold, Beckett came sprinting out to the mound. Crowd went wild!! 4-0 Boston.
