[kj] ot Red Sox

[J E S T E R]

 From what I heard, the incidents up there (with fans rioting)  were not 
bad at all, much less, bad enough to have the cops in full storm 
trooper regalia...gung ho muthafaka!. Sad that people wait so long for 
this, and the event is juxtaposed with the death of a college student 
who was just standing there. And every report I hear is just that, she 
was simply just standing there.

Game 4, the bars should be packed again. I may even watch. Try and 
enjoy at least some of it Greg. I know what happened is tragic and most 
important, but also, dont let it ruin it all for you personally. Bosox 
are a game away.
