Got a mailing from the Red Sox today for their 2003 Sox Pax, nine packages offering tickets for four games. They have names like "Rivalry Pack," "Red Bird Pack," etc. that suggest a theme for the teams being faced. For example, in the Rivalry Pack, you get tickets to a game against the Yankees. You also get tickets to see the Sox play the White Sox, Cards, and Devil Rays, none of whom are really what you'd call rivals to the Sox.

In fact, seven of the nine packs include a game with the D-Rays. I suppose it's the one way you can get rid of those seats. The Orioles and Royals also make multiple appearances, but not to that extent. The Cards also appear in a number of packs, odd in that those games should be pretty good.

All the packs include a game against the Yankees, which is the real draw. That and the opening day ducats against the Orioles.

Lowest price for a pack is $72 for the bleachers. I'll probably pass.
