To keep sellout streak gong.

Apparently they think they won't sell out the second home game, which is against the O's of course.

Poor Sox fans. They had 2 bad seasons and fans jumped ship. I guess their true colors are showing. Hopefully this will mean less Sox fans at the hard this year, although I wouldn't count on it.

You have to factor in Boston's cold weather in April and less than riveting opponents showing up at Fenway during the opening month.

The Sawx still sell 101% of the stadium and had 3M+ fans last year. But they'll probably be a 4th or 5th place team in the AL East when the season ends.

Well, their 2011 season wasn't that bad. They were the best team in baseball for a lot of it, but then they tanked and we broke their backs and destroyed their spirit at the end of game 162.

THat last month is among the worst in baseball for a regular season team. One of the proudest moments as an O's fan and why I liked Buck so much.

Even though we were well out of it,he instilled pride in those players to not simply roll over,and we didn't.

Their sellout streak is a farce. Ticket companies like StubHub buy a bunch of the tickets when they go on sale. Then they sell as many as they can, but often times can't sell all of them. It still gets listed as a sellout, though, since the Red Sox sold them to that company. It's pretty ridiculous that they continue to boast about their sellout streak when the stadium is half-empty for some games.

As much as I enjoy watching the Red Sox suffer, for us to make fun of non-sellouts at Fenway given some of the absolutely pathetic "crowds" we have had at OPACY in the last decade, is kind of hypocritical.

You lose --> attendance drops.

You win --> it goes up.

The Red Sox were one of the worst teams in baseball, record-wise, last year. Yeah, they are going to have some empty seats.

The Red SOx and their fanbase deserve it all. I never thought I could dislike a fanbase as much as the Yankees but after 04 and 07,the Red Sox fans did their best and succeeded a couple of times.

Be a nice year to see them both duke it out for last place.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Sanity Check · Posted

      Not just WS contenders, but most Playoff contenders will be looking for bullpen upgrades as the deadline nears....if we're being honest with ourselves, if 70% of the teams have a shot at the playoffs, and the other 30% only have a handful (combined) of quality arms they might consider dealing, we should expect to have to pay a Kings Ransom to outbid those that are competing with us for the talent.  And, therein lies the problem.....we won't get a fair and reasonable deal by Hangout standards, it will have to be an overpay, or we settle for another Flaherty type.  That's just the reality folks. My point  being, be prepared to be disappointed that we had to give up too much, or we didn't get who we really wanted.

      He's obviously cooling off some, I don't think anyone believed he would be 1.000+ OPS guy with a .350 BA. Strikeouts are 30% but he did take 3 walks yesterday if memory serves. I've slept since that game.

      Roch's Fascination with Brian McKenna

      By MCO'sFan · Posted

      This probably didn't need its own thread but I didn't really know what existing thread to post it in. I am the only person who has recognized Roch's strange promotion/fascination/affection for Brian McKenna. He mentions him regularly in his blog as a potential call up. Rings the bell about his plus defense and speed and that he'd be a RHH off the bench. He had several blog posts last year about him missing the clinching games, and so on and so forth. It just seems a little weird that a guy who hung on as the 26th man on bad teams and is dropped from the 40 man and clears waivers when the team gets good, keeps coming up in blog posts and would be sought out for opinions and quotes so often. Just seems a little odd to me.    Roch's 4/25 Blog Post   In McKenna’s favor were his speed, defense at every outfield spot and energy in the dugout. A team-first guy and positive clubhouse influence. And he had a strong, vocal supporter in manager Brandon Hyde. But McKenna went 5-for-37 in camp, the numbers mattering more for him than others, and running dry on options didn’t allow him to immediately stay.
