...Queer Eye for the Straight Guy guys visited Fort Myers, and remade Johnny, Bronson and three or four others (show to air in June.) That was the biggest news out of the camp, though a few smaller items were interesting: The Sox were dedicated to remaining forevermore in Fenway (great!) even as future renovations added seats here and there, and ticket prices-already baseball's highest-continued to escalate. Schilling wouldn't be ready for the opener in Yankee Stadium and Wells would start in his place. The rotation would set up so that Tim Wakefield, the 10-year...
...book's called "Our Red Sox: A Story of Family, Friends, and Fenway," and underlying the narrative are a few themes: generational traditions, fathers and mothers and sons and daughters, and this idea that the Red Sox are not, in essence, a baseball team but are, rather, New England-like beans, cod, the Swan Boats, a martini at the Ritz, finnan haddie at LockeOber's, the sunrise from Cadillac Mountain, the day's last run at Mad River Glen, a jog around Block Island.

We made a pit stop near Framingham...
...circled Fenway, picked up our credentials, and went inside. We visited the press box, but neither of us-too long in the game-enjoy the press box anymore, particularly on days when the game matters. The press box means a line at the buffet, watching the TV, cynicism. We didn't drive up here for that. On days like this, you need to be among the fans...
