Tag Archives: Red Sox

From worst to first.  Time for Fenway Park to raise another banner.

I’ve been quiet for much of the baseball season not wanting to jinx what has turned out to be a surprisingly strong and balanced Red Sox team.

The headline from today’s Boston Globe says it all.  This team has continued to surprise and inspire throughout the season. Victorino’s stunning 7th inning grand slam that put the Red Sox back on top and deflated the Detroit Tigers is the perfect example.  Now it is on to the World Series where all of Red Sox nation waits with baited breath.

After two heartbreaking seasons, the Boston Red Sox surprised the pundits and exceeded everyone’s expectations, ending the year with the best record in the American League and tied with St. Louis for the best record in all of Major League Baseball.

About an hour ago the Red Sox started their first playoff game. against Tampa Bay.  I am optimistically hopeful for another great play off season and am thankful to have the Red Sox as a distraction to the dumb asses in DC.

Anyone who has attended a Red Sox game at Fenway Park will not be surprised to see that the price of a beer is more here than anywhere else.  I think the only surprise in this graphic is that it is so expensive to buy a beer in St. Louis – the home city of Budweiser.

For those of you attending tonight’s game at Fenway Park against the Chicago White Sox, don’t say you weren’t warned.

The playoffs are still a couple months away, but now that we are firmly in the second half of the major league baseball season most Boston Red Sox fans find themselves pleasantly smug.  The drama and bad energy associated with last  season is a distant memory.  Does it make me smile to see the NY Yankees near the bottom of the barrel? Maybe a little 😉

Now that this photo of former Red Sox player, Gabe Kapler, has got your attention, I wanted to let you know that this year Boston Pride has secured a block of Red Sox tickets for Thursday, June 6th during Boston Pride Week.

This is a unique opportunity to watch a game at Fenway with a few hundred other LGBT Sox fans.  Grab tickets while they last and come down to cheer on the Red Sox who will be playing the Texas Rangers.

Tickets cost $30 and following the game  everyone is invited over to Ramrod/ Machine to enjoy some post-game food (free) and cold cocktails.  To purchase individual or group tickets for you and friends; details here.

The Boston Red Sox return home to Boston today for their home opener at Fenway Park after a week long road trip to open the 2013 season.
