Mark posts photos of Fenway after dark - and explains how he came to be there, accompanied only by his iPhone:

... It was such a cool feeling, wandering around empty Fenway when I shouldn't be. Like I was getting away with something sneaky. ...

Good pastrami at Fenway Park

Boston Foodie, late of New Jersey, gives a thumb's up to the pastrami at the Bleacher Bar, that place built into the side of Fenway Park:

Bleacher Bar is now ranking as my favorite Fenway hang out.

Police: Lazy carjackers, obnoxious Sox fans arrested last night

Boston Police report arresting a Roxbury guy and a young sidekick from Dorchester last night on charges they carjacked two people sitting in their car on Camden Street around 11:30 last night.

... The victims state that they were parked on Camden St. when the two suspects approached them and threatened to kill them with a knife unless they gave them a ride to the Mass. Ave. MBTA station. As it turns out, officers spotted the suspects as they made their way to the MBTA station and panicked and fled the car.

So by failing to simply walk the three or four blocks from Camden Street to the Mass. Ave. stop, Terrell T. Banks, 23, and his 14-year-old accomplice now face kidnapping and carjacking charges - along with charges related to the possession of crack, police say.

Meanwhile, earlier in the evening, police say, a Cambridge duo didn't know when to leave well enough alone at the Sox game at Fenway. Police say Kenneth Rudgis, 22, refused to shut up and move back to his seat after police came over to investigate somebody yelling obscenities at some guy (Orioles fan? BPDNews doesn't say):

The suspect was then told that he would have to leave the park because of his refusal to return to his seat, his loud and raucous behavior, and his continuous assault on the victim. While officers were about to place suspect, Kenneth Rudgis in custody, Karalyn Rudgis, who was seated behind the victim poured two full cups of beer on the victim followed by suspect, Kenneth Rudgis pouring another cup of beer on the victim and attempting to grab the victim by the shirt.

Following a brief struggle, police say, the pair were removed to a place where they could yell all they wanted to.

Innocent, etc.

Violent racists at Fenway?

Dirty Water is in Chicago, where he reports on a black couple he met at last night's Red Sox/White Sox game:

... They are from Randolph and ardent Red Sox (and especially Coco) fans. I asked if they get to Fenway often and their reply stunned me. They don't go to Fenway *NOT* because they can't get or afford tickets but because they fear for their safety because of their race. ...

Sox fans can't change their spots - or their T-shirts

Boston Police report arresting a pair of alleged knuckleheads from Waltham in Section 31 at Fenway Park last night:

Officers spoke to witnesses who stated that they observed two fans throwing beer at another group of fans. Witnesses further stated that the fans responsible for throwing the beer, then, attempted to escape capture by changing their shirts in hopes of blending into the crowd. That plan, however, proved unsuccessful when numerous fans positively identified and pointed out the suspects.

Innocent until proven covered in beer.

No more chowder for him at Sox games

Or as Lewis Forman puts it: I Can Haz Droppingz at Finwayz?

Red: Yet another argument for drinking beer at Fenway:

... it helps wash away the taste of stagnant weenie water. ...

Heresy or way past time?

One Day at Fenway

NESN HD camera operator and independent documentary producer, Tom Guilmette, works the left field camera up by the new Coca-Cola deck in Fenway Park.

He brought his PMW-EX1 XDCAM EX camcorder to work, mounted it on an automated telescope tripod and created this outstanding One Day at Fenway time lapse film from over 7 hours of an evening in Fenway Park (condensed down to one-and-a-half minutes with a frame recorded every 10 seconds of real time).

Neil Diamond is a bozo

Some people not enamored of his refusing to sing The Song live during a game:

... So Neil Diamond gets to play Fenway Park and all they get out of him is a video performance of Sweet Caroline? I'd say for the privilege of playing Fenway Park, Neil Diamond should have to sing Sweet Caroline at least once a month and during any home playoff games for the next five years. ...

The hawk and the rat

Anybody see Ladyhawk divebomb some lucky fan with a rat at Fenway yesterday? One keen-eyed TV watcher reports:

... Just before the Air Force fly-over, the hawk cruises over Fenway with what is obviously a large dead rat in its talons. I think the planes scared it and it was hard to see from the TV view, but the hawk came out of its swoop sans rat. Hence someone got said rat in his or her lap/beverage of choice in the stands. There was a mention of it on WBUR this morning so I know I was not hallucinating. ...
