Sigh. If only history (particularly the Yankees/Sox game 7 of 2003) HAD repeated itself last night, I'd be a happier Bostonian today.

That apostrophe is barely visible. Maybe it's just a speck of dirt. It should get ticketed though, just for being a stupid sign.

Clearly, no teacher "teached" that fan a darn thing! Go back to school, signmaker!
