Boston Red Sox - 2006

[camulos]

I'll start off 2006 with some good news for Red Sox fans in the Boston area.

Quote:

NESN, New England’s most watched sports network, will deliver exclusive coverage of every locally televised Red Sox game in the Boston television market next season. For Boston area fans, this will create one destination for all Red Sox telecasts and align coverage of the games with the rest of New England. Since 2003, NESN has provided coverage of every Red Sox game in eight of the nine New England DMAs.

Quote:

This change will also make it possible for NESN to become the first regional network in the country to produce every game in high definition (HD).

So the games will finally be in HD even when they go on the road? If so, then that makes me very happy.

Yup, some of them already were but I assume this means we'll get HD in places like Detroit and Tampa that we previously didn't.

Good, I hated it when they weren't in HD and optimized for 16:9. It made me enjoy homestands even more than usual.

[ILLCHILL]

YES! That HD news is fantastic. And on to the Sox, I expect no less than a AL Penant this year, depending on how things go one maybe even a Title.

Quite a buzz over at SoSH about it. They link rotoworld.com and are saying it's a 2 year deal with a vested option, somewhere around $4 mil per. There's also speculation that it may enable Mota to be traded in a deal for a SS or CF, which frankly, I think is brilliant. Sign someone better, then trade a power arm of value for a need...it's almost like you lose nothing since you're only spending money to get Tavarez, who is by all means a very dependable reliever. I've heard rumors about the Indians being interested in Mota a while back...I wonder if he could play a role in acquiring Coco now that he's expendable? Again, assuming Tavarez is signed.
