At the risk of sounding like a total ass, what were they trying to accomplish here?
Yeah, I wasn't sure how to voice my opinion on it either. Obviously braille is meant to be felt rather than seen, so it wasn't helping any blind fans. Just awareness, I guess. Probably some fundraising involved as well.

How fitting that Price takes the mound tonight in Yankee Stadium.

I hope he has a hell of a game.

You mean people are commenting on the game? That's a stunner.
My point was that is what is so frustrating. Not the posting but the cycle that the Sox are in that causes it. There is really nothing else to comment about with this team so we are stuck with the same thing every game from them. Wake up, go to work, watch the game and see the bullpen implod. Repeat

A little OT, but did people see that story about the woman who “faked” being a sign language interpreter at a police press conference? Someone just told me about this the other day (happened last December).

Fake sign language interpreter: Woman has record of arrests for fraud

At a press conference regarding the arrest of a suspected serial killer in Tampa, this woman shows up and just starts signing. The police assumed she was the paid interpreter that are typical at these pressers, but she just walked in off the street and didn’t even know sign language. It was a little distressing because one of the victim’s mother was at the presser and was deaf.

People are f***ed up.

Gotta believe this is the answer, otherwise I'm not sure.

They got the reward they deserved



Red Sox banner returned: In the end, Malden man gets nothing - The Boston Globe

Asked whether they wanted cash from the Red Sox, Iacuzzi at first said, “Yes, financial [compensation], maybe some tickets, we want something. We don’t know what we want. We want to return it, 100 percent, but we would like to get something.”
He said didn’t have a specific asking price in mind Wednesday morning.

“We want to find out what the thing’s worth,” he said. “We don’t know.”

By Wednesday afternoon, the chances of a payout or box seats at Fenway appeared to be as remote as former Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval stealing home.

“We already have a new banner made,” said Tony Lafuente, a former Somerville alderman who owns Flagraphics, the company that made the banner.

He said he wasn’t sure if the original banner “fell off the truck, or if it walked off the truck. . . . I’ve been doing work for the Boston Red Sox since 1992. Nothing ever happened like this.”

Later in the interview, Lafuente said flatly that “these guys stole my banner” and “should be ashamed of themselves. This is not Boston.” He did, however, concede that his drivers sometimes use McGrath Highway during normal business hours.

The theft allegation did not sit well with Iacuzzi, who said in a third interview that “they lost the [expletive], they’re the ones that [expletive] up. I found it, I’m trying to do the right thing.”
