Not only is it well put together, but it's also very interesting to look over. A larger version of the info-graphic can be found here, and a few points of interest as they pertain to the Red Sox fan are below:
While beer at Fenway Park is expensive, it's not tops in the league, with four Teams charging more including the Marlins of all Teams, which is pretty mind boggling. I guess they assume that since nobody goes to the actual games they might as well fleece the rare Florida baseball fan as much as they can.
If you bought an average ticket, beer, and hot dog Boston would be the most expensive ballpark in baseball. This isn't news to Sox fans, and what ends up pushing the Red Sox over the top is the price of the ticket. The silver lining? The good ol' Fenway Frank is actually one of the more affordable dog...

Theo Epstein is Not a Quitter or a Traitor. Sheesh
The vitriol Theo Epstein is getting by some in the Red Sox Nation is unfair. Golly, the man had a hand in bringing Boston two world championships after a drought spanning back to 1918. And perhaps this post is premature since the Eptein to the Cubs story is only a report and has not yet been confirmed. But the din and hue out on Twitter and in blogs is seriously irking.

Adrian!
Gaslamp Ball is not surprised to find out that Adrian Gonzalez lacks leadership skills.
In general, I don’t care. If someone hits .338/.410/.548 for the season, he did his job. If he wants to kick some other players into action, fine, but they are all grown men earning lots of money. They shouldn’t need motivation to perform at their best.
The Plaque Sox
Maybe they got confused and thought KFC and LDL were new stats.You have to hand it to the Red Sox PR operation. Not only did they slam pretty much the entire team, they even stole Theo's exit thunder.Now they can trade anyone, except Pedroia. The AG travel quote, which was pretty harmless really, was mentioned in the Globe piece. Wake's desire to come back and set a team...
