The curse of Nomar strikes again.

Dear Theo,

All we want for Christmas is a shortstop who can flash some leather and hit above the Mendoza line.

Love,
The Ladies of Respect the Tek

Giving away free stuff is a good way to make friends.

Now that the Stanley Cup Playoffs are over*, we can finally return to our semi-quasi-almost-regular coverage of our favorite baseball team and yours, those crazy LOB machines known as the Boston Red Sox. And what better way to get back into the swing of things than with a contest? That's right, folks, you heard it here first (and last, and all the times in between): we've got two spare standing room tickets to May 24's game versus the New York Mets, and we're going to give them to one of you! All you need to do is answer one silly little question (one that is answered within the annals of Respect the Tek), and we will send them right out to you.

The Question: What part of Josh Beckett's body is Jason Varitek?

The Prize: 2 Standing Room tickets to May 24's game against the New York Mets

Just answer the question in the comments, and if you're right** we'll contact you and figure out how to get the tickets to you.


*Crazy how they just canceled them like that, huh? All out of the blue and stuff? Weird.

**Or the only entrant, in which case you win by default. Awesome, huh?
