Big Papi, Big Gate
David Ortiz playing in Pawtucket may be the biggest thing ever at McCoy Stadium:
David Ortiz will be in Pawtucket for the next four days, and Joe McDonald reports: "Nothing can compare to [it]." Says PawSox vice-president Bill Wanless: "As soon as the news began to filter out, the buzz grew and the momentum kept building. We've had some big ones, but this one ranks up there as the biggest." Which is really saying something.
All four games of the series are sold out, even though all of them will be televised -- the first three on Cox Cable in Rhode Island, Sunday afternoon's on NESN -- and only a limited number of standing-room tickets are available for each game. Can't get there? Don't have Cox? Check in right here. We'll be blogging live from McCoy.
This should be a big weekend for the Providence Journal's Projo Sox Blog, one of the best in the business.

Then he's going up to Portland after that - both places routinely sell out.
My girlfriend and I bought tickets for Friday's game two months ago. The last couple of years we've gone to two or three Rock Cats and PawSox games, instead of trying to get into Fenway. Now we can't believe our luck.
