In case anybody was interested...

So, I've followed my first baseball game, albeit over the Internet. The Boston Red Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays, 6 runs to 5 in the final game of a series. Blue Jays third baseman Eric Hinske broke the 3-3 tie in the 7th inning with a home run to right field off Tim Wakefield and cinched it with a final home run to the right off relief pitcher Urgeth Urbina at the bottom of the ninth, despite the Sox tying again at the top of that inning with two runs thanks to Trot Nixon's homer .

While I'm disappointed the Sox didn't win, it was quite cool to be able to actually follow a game's play-by-play and understand more than half of what was going on, and the suspense was actually quite palpable at times. It's an experience I wouldn't mind repeating again.
