Favorite Moments Time: What Were Yours?

2) The moment the Rays were eliminated.

1) The moment the Yanks were eliminated.

I have a lot of personall ones. Probably the series the Red Sox swept the Rays at the Trop, beacuse i was there behind the dugout each game. That series I got balls from Bard, McDonald, and Buchholz. Adrian Beltre hit his first one knee home run, and the Rays fans were misrable.
That is probably my favorite, looking back.

right before that tragic thing happened.

that’s still one of my favorites I’ve been to. Pretty epic victory.

I would prefer to erase the last few from my mind though.

Mike Lowell’s return, and his retirement ceremony. Tek’s standing O was pretty amazing too, gave me chills.

the number of Grand SLams from Sox hitters this season. Namely the Nava debut, the near-comeback in the bottom of the ninth with Papi’s, Scutaro, and two from Kalish.

Considering he was almost dealt to the MFY.

Yeah they’re two different things, but still.

Mikey Lowell’s HR back was a close #2 though.

There wasn’t a single great game I attended all season. Everything was either like a 7-3 win or loss, nothing dramatic or particularly noteworthy.

On TV, the D-mac game was incredible, so I’ll go with that I guess.

You combine a great story with a huge hit and it gave the Sox the lead. I also really liked seeing Adrian Beltre hit that homer from his knee.

• Nava’s debut game. (The game thread was absolutely awesome.)
• Bard’s filthy, filthy strikeouts of Jeter and Swisher to preserve the shutout in August. (Most deliciously evil pitch EVER.)
• Pedey’s Super Laser Show Extravaganza.
• Mikey’s return
• DMac’s debut
• Lowrie’s walkoff homer (plus his two big games against the MFYs: 6 RBIs, 3 HRs, 6 R, 16 TBs, and got to embarrass Joba and Swisher on the same play)
• Pedey’s walkoff win against the Dodgers
• Just about any Jon Lester start in May through August
• Ditto for Buchholz

My wife’s water breaks and we rush to the hospital and little (Sweet) Caroline was born! We were down and came back against the the MFY

Watching him round first and trot to second quite calmly as he’s realizing the game is over…and then turning around to all of a sudden see a charging rhino named Youk running at him. He was all of a sudden like, “HOLY @#$%ING SHIT!”

Love it. Like he didn’t quite know how to react to a walkoff. Really underscored the “debut” part of the moment.

But Nomar’s retirement made me all weepy. It’s not my number one moment (D-Mac’s where that’s at), but it hasn’t been mentioned yet, and it definitely deserves consideration. That was classy on pretty much everyone’s part.

Pedro throwing out the first pitch of the year at fenway. That was pretty special.
