What The Red Sox and Rays Have in Common

I know some bloggers who disable their comment sections when the Rays are at Fenway and/or the Red Sox are at Tropicana Field. That's what makes this news so exciting: This season at Tropicana Field you can get a Fenway Frank.
I'm totally misleading you sort of.
Kayem - the Official Hot Dog of the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park - is now also the Official Hot Dog and Sausage of the Tampa Bay Rays and Tropicana Field.

World Series: Peanuts, Halloween Candy, Rally m&m's, Twitterers

Thanks to Amanda Rykoff for the photo. That's me and Rebecca Glass and her boy who covers (as in writes about) the Trenton Thunder. It's mid-rain delay and my many peanuts have hit the table. Later, around inning 2, Rebecca will blame the presence of the Red Sox peanuts for the fact that the Yankees are then losing to the Phillies.
I assure her the Red Sox peanuts are the worst peanuts in baseball. Later, when we pull ahead, it's clear that I am right. As you can imagine, we discovered the Yankees peanuts (Bazzini!) to be the best peanuts in baseball. Full disclosure, this statement may only be true if you exclude those damn delicious fleur de sel Blue Jays peanuts from contention. Just reporting the facts. More photos on loan from Amanda to come. Go Yankees!

ThunderDog

Speaking of Hot Dogs...another Amazingly-Named Frank. Thunder, Thunder, ThunderDogs.

Boomer's Rib, Trenton Thunder Left Field

yes that rib is in the hands of a child. yes her daddy said I could take and use the picture. yes she refused a napkin from me (she was pretty neat).

Chickie's & Petes, Waterfront Park, Trenton

Chickie's & Petes, Mercer County Waterfront Park, catering to Philadelphia phans, though not everyone in the 60(!) person line is wearing red.

Boomer's bbq between HR derby and allstar game. long line for pulled pork or chicken or roast pork or st louis style ribs 575, or hoagies, also 575, an unappealing name for heroes, in case I've not mentioned that before. also unappealing: all the phillies fans in their brand new jerseys

DeLorenzo's on Hamilton: cheese good, sauce sweet but good, crust terrible, like pita crisps, which is not right for pizza. sad. not cheap

Trenton Thunder mascot...

is a lightening bolt. Thunder, it seems, was not as easy to draw. Here in the ballpark lemonade is $3.50, peanuts are $3, cracker jacks $3.50, soda (coke!) $3.25

Beers of the World, Trenton style: cooler full of Bud and Miller. Sam Adams Brown in fridge, Bass on tap. $550

DeLorenzo's on Hamilton, open Wednesday
