Boston Red Blog

The World Series is still a full day away, but ever since the Red Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians the media has blown up its already booming coverage of the hometown team.

In a city that lives and breathes baseball, there’s never been a shortage of blogs about the Sox, but some of the media are just catching up.

Some outlets have launched a free text messaging campaign where users can sign up to receive breaking sports updates about the Sox. One local TV station, WBZ-TV, has even added an interesting new feature that is half-blog and half-story.

One of the station’s producers is camping outside Fenway Park with the hope that he can buy day-of-game tickets for the first battle between the Sox and the Rox.

He’s chronicling his experience with “frequent” updates on ‘BZ’s web site. The updates seem to be posted almost every hour, but who knows how long that will last.

So far it’s an entertaining read, and it should become even more entertaining as the hours go on.
