7 more against the Tigers, 4 at Cellular. I will be at at least one of those.

Yuppers.

Looks like the BoSox are waving the white flag, monster deal in the works. Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawfod, and Nick Punto looking to go to the Dodgers for prospects and cash.

Looks like this is a done deal!
Though not officially announced, reports have Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, and Nick Punto on a plane, in the air, and on the way to LA!

There were some grumblings a few weeks ago that Valentine would be fired after this season.
I think this deal seals him coming back.
The Sox are calling it a move about "Payroll Flexibility", to me this move is to clearly indicate to the team "Who's the boss".
The answer is clearly Bobby V and not Ben Cherrington!

The only game I can make would be in October unfortunately, and that's an "if" for me even. Had plans for July, fell through First year since 06 I haven't made a game yet IIRC

Two games for me so far this season, Tigers/Cubs at Wrigley and Red Sox/Yankees at Fenway. I have tickets for Tigers/Sox on Sept. 10th, and may try to make another in that series.
