The Yankees playing "Sweet Caroline" would make me cry, if I were a crying person. Lots of love for Boston this week.Rachel S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12370912889544466916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030089012413435233.post-82891077350661653112013-04-18T17:31:55.225-07:002013-04-18T17:31:55.225-07:00For the record, Rachel, there was a lot of love in...For the record, Rachel, there was a lot of love in Yankee Stadium for Boston on Tuesday night (the first time they played after the bombing). They even played "Sweet Caroline."Kent Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893161961963720939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030089012413435233.post-88217317660002955542013-04-16T20:15:34.721-07:002013-04-16T20:15:34.721-07:00I could hear sirens all afternoon, a mile and a ha...I could hear sirens all afternoon, a mile and a half from the bombs. My train ride today took at least twice as long; police are everywhere.<br /><br />When my brother was four, he refused to go into a grocery store because he remembered seeing Yankees balloons at the check-out counter (nevermind why the grocery store sold Yankees balloons). Somehow he was coaxed in, but that mentality stays: Bostonians have nothing but disdain for the Yankees -- even for those of us who can't name a single player. Of all the images of love flooding in, somehow it's the sports references that choke me up, the ones saying, "Yes, we like the Yankees, but we're all rooting for Boston today," or the Chicago sports section saying "we are Chicago Red Sox/Chicago Bruins/Chicago Patriots." <br /><br />It's truly horrific.Rachel S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12370912889544466916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030089012413435233.post-29147567633926046662013-04-16T16:50:09.387-07:002013-04-16T16:50:09.387-07:00Louise, have you read Joseph O’Neill's book &q...Louise, have you read Joseph O’Neill's book "Netherland"? Because I haven't but I've been reading reviews tonight and it looks like A) a book I am going to read when school gets out and B) a book that you should read immediately.
