If anyone wants to purchase MY ENTIRE red sox 10 game pack this year let me know. I am contemplating not renewing it because its hard for me to make it to the games. Two bleacher seats (section 41, row 23) for 10 games on either tuesday or friday. Total cost is $545.00 (Face value) and its due 12/14. Games this year include:

Friday April 12th: Rays
Tuesday April 23rd: Athletics
Tuesday May 7th: Twins
Friday May 24th: Indians
Tuesday June 25th: Rockies
Tuesday July 2nd: Padres
Friday July 19th: Yankees
Tuesday August 27th: Orioles
Friday September 13th: Yankees
Friday September 20th: Blue Jays

I can't break it up. Just seeing if anyone else wants it, otherwise I won't renew. Tickets usually arrive in March.

Shoot me a PM if interested

Well, the system crashed on me again this year causing me to miss out on Yankees tickets for 3/3. By the time I got back to the screen to buy tickets, most of the good seats were gone. I did end up scoring lawn seats to a bunch of other games so I can't complain too much.

The Victorinio signing is soooo bad. What in the hell was Cherington thinking.

I want to give Ben the benefit of the doubt because I like the Napoli signing, but I don't understand the logic behind this move.

they overpaid....but he'll be productive and you'll like him.

I used to think kevin millar was a total jackass, but I gotta admit he made me chuckle a bunch during the winter meetings.

opinion of chris rose is unchanged, tho. tool.

2 years too long. And 5 million too much per year. Clearly a guy in decline that shouldn't even play every day.

I am happy with the offseason.
They overpaid for a couple of players, but with short term contracts.
The bullpen should be much better.
I still see a couple of more deals being done. Obvious the Napoli, Laroche thing needs to be worked out.
I really think Drew will work great with Dustin.
Looking forward to spring training.

carolinabeerguy

For this signed today. Spring training is awesome.

HELLO AGAIN!

The first Red Sox spring training game is today against the Rays here in Fort Myers. Temps should be in the mid 80's. I'll be sitting in the $5 lawn section behind the bullpen. I love living here this time of year.

An Opening Day win today would be just great start to the year. The Red Sox will struggle in the East with so many good teams.

Peace

Improved to 8-2 with a 3.47 ERA in the Bronx.
to

2B Dustin Pedroia (2-for-6) has now hit safely in all seven career Opening Day games (393, 11-for-28, 2 doubles, 2HR, 5RBI, 2BB)…marks the longest opening Day hitting streak for a Red Sox player since Mo Vaughn hit safely in seven straight openers from 1992-98…with his seventh Opening start at second base, only Bobby Doerr (13) has made more in club history.

I'd rather a huge trade.

Wow. I know it is very early but this is a different team.
Very deep bullpen and much improved offense. Will looks like a star.
4 - 2 road trip to start the season against division rivals. Wow.
