Papelbon:

“It’s sad, man. Patriot’s Day is a big thing in Boston. Sox play at 11 o’clock. It’s all ruined. Families are ruined, lives are ruined. For what? It’s just sad.

“I’m looking at it right now and I’m like, damn, I used to live right there.”

“It’s kind of surreal. I don’t know man, it’s crazy. It’s hard to even think about. … Hopefully the city can rally and make things better, but it’s going to be tough.”

Echoing Barry Jive (from earlier page)- I've never been more afraid in my life.

by **pacino** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 18:04:15

i'm not afraid, but i can see how others can be right now

hope there are minor casualties with this

idk man, i've had one idiotic comment on fb, none in real life, and have totally ignore any media 'commentary' so i'm not seeing it as of yet. hoping it lasts, but i do kinda doubt it

by **Barry Jive** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 18:05:26

also, i know everybody's coping in their own way but I personally don't really want to see how dumbass internet friends are acting like idiots about this

I meant positively. Red Cross' site went down almost immediately. First responders were incredible

they keep saying how "this appears to be a crude operation", which makes the whole thing all the more scary.

ok, cool. sometimes it's hard how to take comment on bsg. threads like these should be face value, but i wasnt sure.

i might have come across as insensitive earlier, but i cope and react differently. just feel like these types of harsh realities have made me numb

It's shocking, watching the video, that WAY more people didn't die

Seems like a pretty massive explosion, and there were obviously a shitload of people there. I guess that means the bomb was basic, or wasn't designed to try and kill lots of people (with shrapnel and whatnot).

apparently it contained ball bearings, not shrapnel, per early reports

This stuff is unavoidable. Nothing you can do to stop or avoid it.

Training up to NY to tomorrow should be interesting.

by **Barry Jive** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 18:12:48

"We still do not know who did this or why and people shouldn't jump to conclusions" before reacting

people like wolf blitzer make this worse.

by **pacino** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 18:19:06

second time someone's called out blitzer...what's he spitting out? speculation?

by **CalvinBall** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 18:19:07

Friend is at the Marriott which is a few blocks away he said.
