 Don't stand next to Chris Young unless you want to look really short. |
 Glad to see Cla Meredith, called up on July 2! |
 |
 |
 ... oh, yeah, glad to see this guy, too. |
 |
 How many former Sox can I get in one picture? |
 |
 |
 |
 Oh, the cuteness... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 I'd never seen any Padres kids before! |
 I hope Josh Bard is trying to talk Mark into the high socks again... |
 |

 Mark has Geoff Blum's bat. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 I can't help it. I love the Phanatic. |
 |
 |
 I thought the Padres had something akin to a My Little Pony backpack, but one way or the other, the rookie carries the bag. |
 |
 |
 |
 Clay Hensley pitching for the Padres today. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 ... uh oh... busted. |
 |
 In the second inning, the winds picked up, the sky turned black, and the heavens opened. (My clothes were still wet when I got back to Boston.) |
 Went over to check out the bullpen while they tried to fix the field and was apparently immediately busted by Meredith. |
 |
 |
 |
 "Yeah. I see you. I know what's going on..." |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Thoughtful... |
 ... or just baffled that I'm still there with the camera. (After this I waved my jersey at him: "Pawtucket" on the front and "30" on the back. Then he got it!) |
 Khalil Greene. |
 |
 |
 This bird was chased off the field but would not leave the first base line. |
 |
 |
 |
 The Phanatic and an unwilling (supposedly) accomplice. |
 |
 |
 |
 Vinny Castilla. |
 Josh Bard. |
 Adrian Gonzalez. |
 Brian Giles. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Easy to tell when Cla was warming! |
 Mark pinch hits. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Cla Meredith pitched the eighth; (un)fortunately I had to leave after the inning to get my flight. |
