FORT MYERS, Fla. — There is one final indignity left for the Red Sox before they can truly start over. And even combative team president/CEO Larry Lucchino acknowledges that it’s inevitable.
The team’s sellout streak at Fenway Park will end this season, perhaps as early as the second game.

scrappy underdogs??
self-satisfied, overpaid sport voyeurs is more like it. which player is the next sacrificial goat? Luccino can posture and offer up every excuse that comes to mind. plenty of former fans are sitting future seasons out, in our dens or on our decks or on beaches, watching or listening instead of in Fenway where the last half dozen seasons have seen rich guys behaving badly and no shortage of comped drunks
Oh please - the sellout streake ended a LONG time ago, sometime last year if not earlier. And it's not really an accomplishment in a ballpark that seats whatever it seats now, 37,000?
The Red Sox should have fessed up and let it drop last year, instead it was more evidence of the BS this team has spewed for the last year and a-half.
"Lucchino also gave a terse “no comment” to two questions posed by Shaughnessy. He then answered the exact same questions posed by other reporters."
This is called "learning on the job." If I were Lucchino, I'd have located Whitey Bulger in hiding, passed along a photo of Shaugnessy, and offered him a fat fee for troll removal services.
