BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox will hold a two-day fundraising drive to benefit victims of this year's hurricane season. The club said in a statement released Monday that volunteers will be collecting donations for the American Red Cross from fans at all five gates at Fenway Park from the time gates open until the end of the third inning, beginning with Tuesday night's game against Baltimore. The donations will help Gulf Coast residents hit by Hurricane Gustav. Another hurricane, Hanna, is currently in the southeastern Bahamas. Forecasters predict Hanna could come ashore in Georgia and South Carolina late in the week. Gustav slammed into the heart of Louisiana's fishing and oil industry with 110 mph winds, but delivered only a glancing blow to New Orleans.

Who would have predicted that the September matchup vs the Tampa Rays would loom so large? Right now it's the Pedroia show and Ortiz and Jason Bay and company are just along for the ride... The Sox's lineup is so much deeper and better than the Rays, but that Rays staff and bullpen is scary good! Got my $20 tickets in hand for Tuesday game (yeah I'm cheap but whatcha gonna do? I'm a sucka for the bleachers) http://www.esellout.com/ResultsGeneralAtVenue.aspx?kwds=Boston+Red+Sox&venid=21 I can't wait to see how this shakes out. The rosters expanded allow Francona the flexibility to make pitching changes and give some breathers in blowouts. The Wild Card is ours to lose...The Division is OURS TO WIN!
RED SOX in 2008!
