The Boston Common

Opening Day appropriate, yes?

Papelbon: No more Riverdance
- Though he was born in Baton Rouge, Jonathan Papelbon always seemed to work hard to make Boston his home. The Red Sox closer, who will depart for the Philadelphia Phillies after reportedly agreeing to a roughly $50 million deal yesterday, provided a high-octane presence that will be missed on the field and in the city.
The last couple years have been up and down, but thanks for the memories, Paps!
Terry Francona reportedly could be out as Red Sox manager
- The changes on Yawkey Way could be coming quickly. Red Sox manager Terry Francona might be looking for a new job as early as today according to a report by Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.

The T’s pet policy does not expressly prohibit snakes, though it allows them and other non-service pets only at off-peak hours. Dogs are supposed to be well-behaved and properly leashed, while small domestic animals must be carried in lap-size containers and kept out of the way of exits, according to T policy.
Moorhouse said she usually totes Penelope in a plush pouch — “almost like a pillowcase that is tight on top” — but instead hugged the snake close to her skin that day to keep her warm in frigid weather. She did not immediately notice when Penelope slithered away.
“I specifically sat away from everybody else, and I concealed her, because I really didn’t want to make anybody unnecessarily uncomfortable,” she said. Subsequently, she has kept Penelope in the tote while riding the T.

MBTA train drives over fire on tracks
- A Green Line train drove over a small fire on the tracks Wednesday night on Beacon Street, according to a witness who snapped photographs of the incident.
With snow piling up, can you dig it?
PLYMOUTH — Moses had his staff. Merlin had his wand. And winter-weary New Englanders? We have our shovels. And though we may not be parting the Red Sea in our driveways, on a snowy, slushy, icky days like yesterday it sure felt that way.
