Not content to sit back and watch the Sox cause Boston’s 2008 hopes to go up in smoke, the Fens decided to fight back today and start a fire of its own.
The Citgo sign that looms over Fenway Park caught fire this morning, the plastic partially melting in a small electrical blaze inside the storied sign.Flames were actually visible from Storrow Drive during the fire, which caused $5,000 in damage, said Steve MacDonald, a spokesperson for the Boston Fire Department.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, which ignited just before noon. No one was injured. It was not immediately clear how long it would take to fix the sign.
And from the Herald:
“Basically, things have gone from bad to worse in the area of Kenmore Square,” said [Boston Fire spokesman Steve] MacDonald, when asked if the fire might be a bad omen for the struggling Sox, who trail 3-1 in the American League Championship Series and face elimination tomorrow night. “But tomorrow is a new day and hopefully everything will be much brighter tomorrow.”
Of course, this could all be Big Papi’s 2008 motivational speech- win… or else. Or maybe Julian Tavarez is loose in the Back Bay.
The sign is lit up like normal tonight- except that a small portion of the white part isn’t lighting up.
Maybe it’s a good omen. Like this means the Rays’ offense will die down. If not we could just sneak into their clubhouse and break all of their bats. Then, oops they can’t play!
It was ignited by the fire to win.
Angie, if by bats you mean legs, I’m all for it.
Excellent, fc!
