19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: Andrew has denied any wrongdoing. The arrest couldn't have come

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,560

Speaker 3: in the Andrew Square neighborhood.

30
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: In reality, what's old is new again. The parade route

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: this year actually traces its roots to the first evacuation

32
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,880

33

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: say the team is about to make a fashion faux

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: pasbc's Drew mo'holland is here to explain this has caused

43
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: quite an uproar. I know it's crazy.

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 4: Doesn't make you think about baseball, though, doesn't it. For

45
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 4: the second time in three years, Red Sox fans are

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 4: not happy with the team's uniforms this year, and the

47
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: Red Sox feels so much of the heat that the

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: team is compelled to respond. Fans say the new design

49
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: by Fanatics moves the lettering on the home white unis

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: into a clash with the red center piping, and both

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: the X and the S overlap with the red line.

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: This is baseball fashion. One on one, Jeffrey, can I

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 4: get some baseball sets?

54
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Well? That to it?

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: Thank you.

56
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: The team issued two responses on social media. This was wild,

57
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: essentially saying the Sox front office picked and approved the

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: new design, which it says features more spacing between the

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: letters of Red Sox. A second message reiterated that fans

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 4: were outraged a couple of years ago when the uniforms

61
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: were accused of being see through in some cases.

62
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: The team says these unis will.

63
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 4: Be ready for opening day at Fenway. They say Fanatics

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: has been a great partner for them.

65
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been controversial from the get go. The overnight

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: rain and snow flowry activity really didn't amount to much

67
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: in many areas. In fact, there are many of us

68
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: that didn't get hit with anything at all. So we

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 2: dodged this winter storm, and there's another on the doorstep

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: for now though. We're in good shape, clear skies this morning,

71
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: thirty two right now in Boston, looks like we're gonna

72
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: have a gorgeous sunrise and a beautiful day overall today

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: with plenty of sunshine, highs right around forty overnight tonight.

74
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: Clouds are going to move in now tomorrow. We're watching

75
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: our next system, which could dump some accumulating snow on

76
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: more of us as we enter the weekend. Looks like

77
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: a widespread one to three inches possible in areas in

78
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: northern Massachusetts into southern New Hampshire. It could be a

79
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: little bit more than that, but it all wraps up

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: on Saturday and as we head into the weekend. Looks

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: like we'll see some clouds and leftover flourries to kick

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: off the weekend on Saturday as temperatures rise to just

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: above freezing. Sunday looks like a mostly cloudy day and

84
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: another storm system could be targetting us Sunday night into Monday.

85
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: It could be rain, it could be snow, it could

86
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: be a messy mix. We just don't know at this

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: point in time. Right now in Boston, seems like everything's

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: pretty quiet. It's thirty two here in the city, six

89

Speaker 2: Logan notice he hadn't given.

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: It a thought, didn't even enter my mind.

94
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: Well, on the sixth day of a partial government shutdown, we.

Speaker 5: early and check on their flights before the day up,

104
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 5: with the majority of TSA employees working without pay, which

105
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 5: could lead, they say, to longer lines and even less

106
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 5: flights as the shutdown extends.

107
