Random Lottery for Red Sox vs Cubs tix at Fenway

[Old Style]

Does anyone have a hotel yet? I'm looking at prices and thinking I need to find something outside of the city close to public transportation to save a ton of money.

I'm staying at the Boston Marriott Cambridge, which is near a subway stop and only about a mile from Fenway. It is rather pricey though ($300+ per night), so I'm only staying there because I have a bunch of Marriott points.

I have three tickets for Sunday's game, and it looks like I'm not going. My brother and nephew plan to use them, but only need two. If anyone is interested in a single to the Sunday game, let me know.

Anyone other than Jody find a hotel? I am having very little luck finding anything halfway reasonable.

Has anyone considered that if the Bulls and Celtics both advance through the first two rounds of the playoffs, they will most likely be facing each other in the Conference Finals at the same time the Cubs are in Boston? I don't know exactly how the NBA playoff schedule is laid out, but it sure would be fun with both of those series going on in Boston at the same time.

That was pointed out to me a week or so ago. I have signed up for the Celtics playoff lottery just in case. :)
