sure, but the Sox FO was advertising and promoting this streak while the stadium was noticeably empty during games last year. it's not an accomplishment to sell all available tickets.

THIS

last year they kept going on and on about the sell out streak when fenway was half full, it was absurd


My brother works for Beth Israel (which is the Sox' official hospital, and they run the first aid stations inside the park etc.) and all through last year, he could just walk up to a ticket window on game day, flash his hospital ID, and pay $5 for tickets. I'm sure stuff like that was counted as "distributed" whether or not someone came to the window to pick them up.

I think Aceves was the right choice, he would probably have a nutty if they had given the start to someone else.

Perhaps we can all agree that Take Me Out To The Ball Game is the only singalong that is necessary for a ball game...

I never thought I'd be as happy as I was yesterday to see John Lackey on the mound in a Red Sox uniform...which should say all you need to know about how badly Aceves sucked
