Yet more Japanese
WEEI and ESPN Radio were both handing out Japanese signs for the crowd to hold up. No idea what they say, though. (Outside the park after the game, the Sully's Tees folks were selling shirts that said "YANKEES SUCK" in Japanese. Some things are universal)
Mr Dice, Meet Mr K.
These guys were a couple of rows back from us. Joy & I are totally going to rip off their idea this Hallowe'en.

Japanese Baseball Cheers
Handed out outside the park.
Matsuzaka 18
First person I saw with a MATSUZAKA 18 shirt on. Saw a fair few people who'd recycled their "DAMON 18" shirts from before he went evil.
Popeye’s Chicken Welcomes Japanese-Speaking Red Sox Fans
First piece of Japanese writing I saw near Fenway, outside the Popeye's Chicken.
“Official Sponsor of The Gyroball”
I love this billboard on the Mass Pike. It's for Bank of America who are the "official" bank of the Red Sox.
It's designed to resemble the manual scoreboard on the Green Monster, and says "Official Sponsor of" before being completed by topical slogans, which change about once a week.
Today, it reads "Official Sponsor of The Gyroball". Prior to Opening Day, it was "Official Sponsor of Best Day of the Year", and before yesterday's Home Opener it read "Tuesday Homecomings".
Makes me smile every time I see it, even if Bank of America are evil incompetent buffoons who I wouldn't bank with if you paid me.
