Rains relent for Roslindale parade

By adamg on Sun, 10/14/2012 - 6:33pm

Kid and parade

Just as the Roslindale Day parade was starting in Roslindale Square, the rain let up. By the time the parade was halfway through Belgrade and Walworth, the sun was coming out.

The Somerville High marching band marched in Roslindale:

There were politicians and there were babies, and sometimes they met:

Kid and Brown

Scott Brown was accompanied by supporters, including one with four legs. Elizabeth Warren was a no-show, but she also had plenty of supporters, including her own canine supporters:

Dogs

Lots of dancers, of course:

Belgrade Avenue was reflected in one marcher's tuba:

Outrage as Sox players express admiration for Raul Ibanez home run

By adamg on Sun, 10/14/2012 - 9:47am

You'd almost think Cody Ross and Will Middlebrooks pissed on home plate at Fenway or something last night. Both were watching the Yankees/Tigers game and both tweeted their amazement/admiration for Raul Ibanez's ninth-inning home run.

And parts of Red Sox Nation lost their collective mind.

Last night, Ross tweeted, simply:

Ibañez!

Middlebrooks was even more effusive:

This is simply insane... #raul

Raul Ibanez is the St Louis Cardinals funneled into one man.

How dare they!

Alex B, a Boston native now living in Ft. Lauderdale, tweeted at Middlebrooks:

Life is norhing without loyalty. Hope Sox shitcan u

And then to both Middlebrooks and Ross:

hmm odd how real Red Sox like Pedey and Papi aren't on the yankees jock like you two

I am a baseball fan. Sorry

Just lost half my followers Smh

Since I've ruffled so many feathers tonight lets stay with the trend and tell me who's going to win the election?

Middlebrooks also replied:

??? For watching baseball? lmao get a life RT @abart76: @middlebrooks Life is norhing without loyalty. Hope Sox shitcan u

Na man. New rule. We cant watch. Turn off your tv now. RT @IamCodyRoss: I am a baseball fan. Sorry

I love baseball. Love playing. Love watching. Love seeing guys come up clutch in big situations. It's why we all play the game.

Some fans jumped to the players' defense. Take Kevin Daly, who tweeted:

I was born and bred in Boston & have lived & breathed Sox since day 1. But it's OK to be a baseball fan as well.

And Colin Steele:

You guys did nothing wrong. Don’t let a few morons represent the rest of us fans.

Truck turns sardine can on Memorial Drive

Sardine can truck

Roving UHub photographer Daniel Weintraub stopped roving long enough to snap a photo of the truck with the newly peeled back roof on Memorial Drive around 11:30 this morning (also note the scaffolding for the oculus installation on MIT's Great Dome, and yes, that is mentioned partially because ye editor likes saying "oculus").
