Well, this is ... interesting.

Joel Hanrahan Fastball Punctures Hole In Sign

Here's Boston's Emotional Return To Sports At Fenway And TD Garden
After a day of terrorism-induced lockdown, the city of Boston came alive again today with early-afternoon action at Fenway Park and TD Garden.

Jonathan Papelbon Is Afraid Obama "Wants To Take Our Guns From Us"

Bird-Flipping Red Sox Fan Is Less Than Impressed By Chris Davis's Homer
The Red Sox are surprising fans and pundits with their quick start in the AL East, though the Orioles cut into that lead thanks in part to a ninth inning Chris Davis homer that sparked a five run rally.
