Pics from the King's Halloween Red Sox tribute!

Yes, I actually carved these.

And with two Halloweenies like this why would anyone want to go out and trick or treat anyway?

Commentary on the Red Sox Parade

I'm disappointed in Boston Mayor Thomas Menino's decision to hold the parade on a Tuesday at noon. I can understand the desire to keep the crowd's limited, but it's a short-sighted, outright terrible decision on his part nonetheless.

This parade could have easily been scheduled for the weekend - following suit with the very successful victory parade held in 2004 - so as not to conflict with Boston work day commuter traffic, T shifts, and daily work day Boston activity. Moreover, the decision also impacts thousands of fans who work for a living, who cannot simply take the day off at the drop of the hat.

But the biggest victims of this terrible decision are the kids of New England. Even Boston area schools are not calling for a holiday, so it will be more difficult if not impossible for kids who play little league and emulate their Red Sox heroes to attend the parade, and cheer on their Beantown heroes. How can you leave the kids out in the dark?

All around it seems like Menino's decision is a poor one. Yeah, sure, some adult fans will be able to book off of work, and some will even let their kids play hooky for the day, but from a family perspective and a fan perspective - this decision stinks.

Mayor Menino - the RED SOX belong to all of us in New England. You are robbing a great number of families of the opportunity to celebrate the moment with Red Sox Nation. Even from a business perspective, you are missing an opportunity for businesses to reap the benefits of a hungry crowd.

Is this another example where you've picked the expedient decision over the right one? Just trying to "get it over with?"

Shame on you, Mayor Menino, and shame on the Boston City Council for going along with the idea of shutting out the fans. I hope that at least Boston residents remember this treasonous act against RED SOX NATION at the next election.

We all hear that you plan to do a dance. Well, we hope to do a little jig when you are out of office!

Red Sox Victory Parade set for tomorrow (10/30)

This just in from WEEI and the mayor's office:

October 29th, 2007 Red Sox parade plans rolling out

Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino will announce plans for a Red Sox parade in one hour at City Hall (12:30 p.m.). Meanwhile, the team is set to land at Logan Airport today at 3:30 p.m. Stay tuned for more details.

City Hall sources tell the Herald’s Michele McPhee the “rolling parade” will be tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon.

The Red Sox will go directly to Fenway Park after landing at Logan, and the World Series trophy will be with them.
