Red Sox Players - Red Sox Rolling Rally Parade Pictures

Well, I had lofty expectation of editing all of my great pictures and "wow-ing" you with them, but work and life get in the way and I think the most important thing, at this point, is to get my pictures out to all of you who weren't able to be there.

I'm going to "attempt" to post my favorite pictures, but truth be told it's SO HARD to find a "favorite" when the whole lot of them put a smile on my face. You already saw my sign pics, so here are the players/team pictures I have :o)

Tom and Larry sure look happy!


Here comes Theo (to chants of "Re-sign Lowell! Re-sign Lowell!")


Will John Farrell be back next year?
Is he grooming Tek to be the next pitching coach?


Curt (and his son) with the World Series Trophy!


JOHNNY, please don't call me Mr. Pesky!


Dustin Pedroia joining in on the crowd's chants of "YOUK!"
(who is hidden behind Pedroia) while Hinske takes video on his cell phone.


John Lester video taping the crowd


Lester and Dice! Notice the Dragon looking Red Sox thing on the bottom!


The Bullpen Band, complete with drums! Did anybody really see Gagne there?


OKIE DOKE! (With the beginning of the Papelbon series on the bottom left)


Play that funky "leg" White Boy!


Cigar Celebration (That's Timlin's back to the left of Paps)


I can't hear you!


"YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" - I'm a little disappointed though. Beckett PROMISED to dance with Paps if we won the World Series, and we did. So far no confirmation on that actually taking place!


Bobby Kielty (who we later saw at Longhorns with his family!) and JD Drew


Papi! He was pointing to the shaved head (with a Red Sox Logo) of Royce Clayton* and saying "This is what it's all about! This is what it's all about!" *Ok, I don't know if it's Royce Clayton because I didn't see his face but that's who I'm guessing it was.


Papi and the Dominican Flag!


Manny! He said "I need some Crown Royal!" and then invited everyone
back to his place for a party and said that Boston is the
place to be and that they have the best fans and he loves us. Awww Manny.


I love it when you call me Big Papi!!


O Captain, My Captain TEK!


Two of Tek's adorable daughters


Lugo and MVP Mike Lowell who arrived to
chants of "MVP! MVP!" by the way, these pink hats are ok!


The voice of Fenway Park, Carl Beane, and Joe Castiglione


Confetti in the Air


The Crowd - looking down Boylston

And without further ado...Congratulations to Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Lowell AND Bobby Kielty who were voted* as the "Cape League Alumni Players of the Game" - As the owner of this blog, I am allowed to vote all three in because they all had incredibly significant plays to bring the Red Sox their second World Series in my lifetime!

*The voting went as follows:
SoxyLady: Ugh, this is hard one. I'm going to go with Kielty - one pitch, one run - the difference in the game. Plus, he said this:

"It's the world series, I was going down swinging - first pitch I was swinging at anything, didn't care if it was rolled in"

Soxy's Brother: Ellsbury batted .438 for the series and didn't seem phased by the spotlight - in fact i'm pretty sure he would have run through that wall to catch out #2 in the9th if he had to. but lowell's HR and picture perfect slide would have made tom emansky proud.
Soxy's Dad: LOWELL - he had a big HR and a perfect slide home on Tek's hit. It's Lowell, no question.

So now onto the harder question - Who is the Former Cape League Player World Series MVP?

Here are the totals as I have them - and I'm not going to include pitching stats in here. Unless there is a loud demand for them, I'm going to keep it offense only.


So SoxyLady readers, I need YOUR VOTE!!!!! You tell me who the MVP is!!!!!

Who is the 2007 Cape League Alumni World Series MVP?

	Atkins
	Ellsbury
	Fogg
	Hawpe

	Lopez
	Lowell

Hey Coco, thanks for the job, man!

*The voting went as follows:
Who am I kidding? I didn't even ask or collect votes last night. It was Ellsbury, hands down (Lowell made a good stab at it, especially with his steal to 3rd!) but Ellsbury. ON FIRE! Not only did he have three doubles, but two of them came in the same inning. It's been said before, it will be said many many many times again...this kid is something special.

We're only a few minutes away from the start of game four and in the efforts of not jinxing anything I'm just going to say "GO SOX!"

SoxyLady: Well it's gotta be Lowell, I mean without him we don't score at all. But I really want to vote Jacoby b/c of the free taco!
Soxy's Brother: Jacoby is the Cape Leaguer of the night, for everyone's free taco - Lowell ain't half bad either...
Soxy's Dad: LOWELL - HUGE TWO OUT HIT - WE WIN !! Now that I think about it more, there should be two awards for tonight. Ellsbury (honorary) for winning everyone n Americaa a free Taco! Too bad there's no Taco Bell here.
