Boston Red Sox at Tampa Bay Rays (ALCS)
American League Championship Series
* 8:37pm EDT Start time
Will the Rays continue to dominate us at Tropicana Field? The playoffs has belonged to the Red Sox over the last few years. However, you can bet your bottom dollar they will battle until the end!
These ALCS series games will likely prove to be another nail biting, grind it out gut wrenching series. Would you have it any other way? Last years come from behind series was pure MAXED OUT excitement.
I wonder how many HDTV's were sold this week in New England?
Our BULLPEN is struggling, However, If our game one and game two starting pitching gives us anything like Lester's pitching at fenway (the 7 inning shut-out game in the ALDS), Oki, Masterson and PAP's should be able to hold the lead. Walks almost killed us in game four. These are the nail biting innings!
In any case we love our guys chances with the big game experience. Have fun and enjoy the games!

The Red sox powers that be have kept the golden era atmosphere and old world charm while adding more seats and luxury suites in 08. They retained the unique field layout and feel which was of the utmost importance to red sox fans, players and folks that come from the world over to visit the oldest baseball stadium in the USA.
More than 800 seats were added to Fenway park for '08 season.
The green MONSTER seats are now being auctioned off for each game now, which has made the coveted seating hard to come by these days and pricey, for example 3 Third Row Tickets on the Green Monster vs. Rangers on April 18 Current Bid is $ 650.00 this has made some fans very angry and a controversial subject. Hop on over to the forums and give us your 2 cents worth.
A 9% ticket hike should help their revenue stream, they worked hard at using the increased revenue to make the improvements. To keep fenway park where it stands and intact, which still only accommodates about half the fans of most MLB stadiums is somewhat justified. Do you agree?
The 1999 All-Star Game suites on both the right-field and left-field lines were removed and new and improved suites were added.
In addition, more than 800 new State Street Pavilion seats will be added, the majority of which will be on the third-base line.
