[mijan]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

A fire broke out in the famous Citgo sign visible behind the familiar walls of Fenway Park in Boston.  It can be fixed... but... this can't be good.

Sports fans don't normally put a lot of stock in signs or superstitions... *twitter*

don't fret, Mijan, I don't think it's a sign of doom for the Sox, it's probably related to the Nasdaq or something. :)

Good news to cheer you up?

My gal and I have talked it over and she'll be flying out here before the election to tie the knot.

Helps to have a very pro-gay minister as a relative to pull something off this quick!

That IS good news. CONGRATULATIONS!!! :)

Sports fans aren't superstitious? What planet are you from?

*wibbles and frets*

Sad! My first night in Boston when I did a summer at Tufts back in 1987, we went for sushi near that sign, and it means Boston to me.

Hope they fix it!

um. I can't decide whether this post is supposed to be a joke or not.

Absolutely not! Carl Yastrzemski keeping the same red socks on for seven years, Wade Boggs' chicken dinners on game days, Nomahh's glove adjustments and toe tapping? All just necessary part of the game. This is not witchcraft!!

uht oh... the good luck hot chocolate I brought in for Charlotte, my Sox fan friend here in the office, just dumped all over the floor... *eep*

My post? Or the actual news article?

Neither is a joke. This is very serious business to any Bostonians and Red Sox fans.

They'll fix it. That's not the issue. The issue is that the Citgo sign is a symbol icon of Fenway Park, and for this to happen during the ALCS when we're down three games to one...
