Sox on a roll

No matter how exotic or high end the restaurant, it's almost impossible to find a place that isn't showing a Red Sox game on any given night. For some people that's annoying. Not us. Who wants to engage in conversation anyway? In years past it may have seemed incongruous, but taking in a game at a sushi bar seems a little more thematically relevant now that we've got our boys Matsuzaka (right) and Okajima on the mound. Samurai Boston, with its Green Monster Maki (asparagus tempura and cucumber, wasabi flying fish roe, $10.75) and Red Sox Maki (salmon, asparagus, cream cheese, and tobiko, $9.95), seems like the perfect changeup. Catch the hometown nine against Toronto tonight. Samurai Boston, 827 Boylston St., Boston. 617-236-7672. samuraiboston.com
