Two Down, Two To Go
So watching the game from our roof didn't exactly turn out to be the best idea. First, the radio is on a full 3 second delay, which gets really confusing when you can hear the crowd moan or roar before anything happens in radioland. The TV delay is only about a second, so it's a little more acceptable, though we still knew when Foulke struck out Edmonds and the rest before we actually saw it. I guess we are getting use to that effect.
Second, who would have thought that blimp would be so loud? Aren't blimps suppose to be quiet? Isn't that there thing? This one sounds like a crop duster circling Fenway and is rather annoying after a few innings.
Third, we decided to take a walk around Fenway just to take a look at the security and so Sara could take a few pictures during the seventh inning stretch. I'd estimate about 25,000 police officers. We walked thru the alley in back of our appartment that goes next to the Boston Arts Academy, looking in the windows there were about 100 police officers getting dressed into their riot gear and monitoring the game on TVs.
There was also a small, sad memorial on Landsdowne Street, no more than one candle and one pot of flowers, at the spot that poor girl died the other inght.
