Hey guys.Yes I know, I've been just awful recently on the blog posting front and I apologize.
First I tried to make a commitment of compiling a Top 20 list of the best college newspaper websites and pretty much afterwards couldn't really follow through with it.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish, or at least size it down to the Top 10.
Anyways back to Red Sox talk...
So today tickets went on sale at 10AM, which means another meeting with the "Virtual Waiting Room."
As I recall last year some fans were stuck for hours on end and afraid if they refreshed the page that their place would be lost.
Others eventually got through, but then it was deciding between what games to go to, would you be able to find four seats in a row not in the bleacher section, and last but not least, the final tally.
If you have connections, I'd strongly suggest you use them and avoid the frustration. And honestly, if you really want to go to a game, there are other ways besides being trapped in the virtual waiting room.
You can go onto redsox.com in July and still find select single-game tickets, maybe not three-four seats in-a-row until you try Ace Ticket and wait for those season ticket holders to sell their seats because they can't make it to the game.
So those are my thoughts on the whole first day of Red Sox single-game tickets go on-sale.
Not sure exactly how it went today, but am curious to know if any people had problems or issues.
But back to the whole not blogging too much lately...I'm probably just going to have to set aside key days of when I'll post and of what to talk about.
There's really not a whole lot to talk about until spring training actually starts, which is two and a half weeks away, but I'll try my hardest. I'm sure events and topics will pop up between the Boston sports media industry (Pete Shepard?), the newspaper business, and/or Sox.

I was online waiting for over 4 hours today just trying to get tickets!! I eventually was able to get on after taking a break for a couple of hours and was able to get tickets for the Blue Jays and Royals, pretty good seats too!
That's crazy, four hours!? It's like what do you do during that time? Keep checking back your computer. There has to be a better system or least be entertained in the waiting rooms, like maybe chat with other fans?
Glad you scored tix though!
