THIS PICTURE IS AWSOME:
The Story in the Globe
KAPLER GOING TO JAPAN
Red Sox utility man Gabe Kapler has reportedly signed a one year $2M+ deal with the Yomiuri Giants in Japan. This isn't too shocking. He should get a good amount of playing time in Japan which is what his agent said he wanted in the Globe's story (read it here) . With the starting outfield locked up and Dave Roberts already on the bench, the need for Kapler was minimal. I think he'll be popular in Japan just as he was here. He was a solid utility man and will be missed. All over New England, the teenaged girls are heartbroken. First Hillenbrand, then Nomar, now Kapler, and perhaps Varitek.
One thing I find creepy about the article is that the Globe's source was the Boston Dirt Dogs, a "blog" that is pretty much headlines and photo-shopped images. Whatever happened to the AP or say a Japanese source?
SHOCKER! RED SOX RAISE TICKET PRICES!
Unbelievable. Not really, but hey supply and demand. Try bringing your kids to a game now! But hey, we don't need a new stadium or anything. It's not a huge deal though. most prices will rise by $1, standing room has gone from $18 up to $20, box seats might go up $10, and there will be more upper bleacher priced tickets sold at $12. But you won't be seeing them build any seats above the bleachers that could sell for $8 or so. The only seats they'll add are seats that will sell for $100 or more. Tomorrow the team plans on releasing information on their planned improvements for next season.
