2010 Sox Tickets Prices to Increase
The great recession you say? What of it? Swept out of the ALDS in crushing fashion? Who cares. Ticket prices at America’s most beloved ball park are going up next year. One year after freezing prices, the average seat at Fenway will rise again in 2010….although it appears the most signi[...]

J Roll: “Phillies in Five”
Immediate disclaimer: I want the Phillies to beat the bag out of the Yankees in the World Series as much as you do. As good as the Philadelphia Phillies are, they are undoubtedly underdogs in the upcoming world series. The Yankees have steamrolled through the playoffs and appear more hungry than ev[...]

ITM’s AL MVP Ballot
ITM’s three writers scrambled this evening to meet the AL MVP voting deadline. We still have differences in the exact order of the top ten, but the list below represents a little bit of compromised on all sides. Perhaps the biggest difficulty was keeping Jason Bay off the list, and listi[...]

Upside Down
This was not how it was supposed to go. All year, we maintained this team was built for the playoffs, and they still might be, but as of now, the 2009 Red Sox have a lot of convincing to do. They’re coming home from the make-believe land of Southern California, tail between their legs, bu[...]

Red Sox – Angels Preview
Okay, so that title’s not entirely accurate. It’s more of an ITM anxiety preview. I’m worried. I’m sitting here with a glass of whiskey neat – what should be a warm treat on a crisp October night. But undeniably, this is just medicine for my nerves. There’s nothi[...]
