Red Sox Won’t Raise 2013 Ticket Prices, Avoid PR Disaster (For Once)

By ⋅ October 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

In their first positive public relations move in recent memory, the Boston Red Sox have decided NOT to raise ticket prices for the 2013 season.

Should the Red Sox Fire Bobby V? SoB Debates…

By ⋅ September 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Red Sox Tell Bill James to Stop Joe Paterno Talk

By ⋅ July 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Bill James is the father of modern statistical analysis in baseball.
