Speaker 3: the Red Sox one hundred and twenty sixth opening day

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: against the reds Hey robots are new this year. Pitchers, batters,

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: catchers can all call for a review of balls and strikes.

24
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: Each side gets to a game pending the outcome, So

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 3: that'll be different. The twenty twenty sixth season is already underway.

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: Yankees beat the Giants in the opener last night in

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: San Franz. Looking at the numbers, Jeffrey, they said it

28
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: at eighty six and a half wins. The guys in

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 3: Vegas do first time. Yeah, you're taking the over under

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: on that.

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Ah, I will take the I'm gonna take the over

32
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: on that.

33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 3: And that would pretty much put you as a playoff team.

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: So that's kind of what you're telling me there. That's

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: the hope every year. I'm convinced the Red Sox just

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: want to make the playoffs and then anything can happen.

37
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: For ten first pitch today, if you want to put

38
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars on the Red Sox winning the World Series,

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: you win, but go ahead, it's like eighteen hundred dollars.

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: I might think about that all right, Thank you, Drew.

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: Big wins for the Celtics. They fight back to the

42
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,760

43
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: will host the Hawks tomorrow equally big the bruin stage

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,960

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: To protect and to serve costs a pretty penny. Apparently,

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: it's estimated to cost more than eighty million dollars to

50
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: build a new station for Waltham Police. That figure presented

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: by the firm designing the city's new police and fire headquarters.

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: According to The Waltham Times, the city officials are looking

53
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: for a more complete cost estimate so they could bring

54
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: a funding request to the city council that does not

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: include a new furniture. If it all gets the green light,

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: the project is expected to take three years to complete

57
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,360

Speaker 2: the gas pumps the.

60

61
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: Now it's not much, but Triple A reports an overnight

62
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 4: drop of a fraction of a penny in Massachusetts will

63
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 4: hold steady at three dollars and seventy seven cents a gallon.

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 4: California remains home to some of the most expensive prices

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: at the pump anywhere, but this is kind of ridiculous.

66
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: A gas station in Los Angeles takes the cake at

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: eight dollars and seventy one cents a gallon, but still

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: people are filling up. Matt Phipps WBZ Boston's news radio.

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: but there is on the radar. There's a large section

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: of rain moving through western and central mass so we're

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: likely to see more showers before this morning is done,

73
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,760

75
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: nice day necessarily, but it's the warmest day of the stretch,

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: with high temperatures well into the mid sixties this afternoon.

77
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: It's not going to last. This is kind of a

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: one hit wonder. Cloudy Sky's rain and drizzle continues overnight

79
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,880

Speaker 2: be close to fifty early, and then temperatures will fall

82
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: into the forties in the afternoon as a cold front

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: makes its way in. This weekend looks like it is

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: going to be the best chance for a dry weekend

85
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: that we've seen in Greater Boston in six weeks. However,

86
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: it's going to come with temps only in the forties.

87

88
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: six oh five on a Thursday. The road is about

89
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: to get a little less bumpy in Milton.

90
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,000

92

93
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: of traffic away on each side of Route twenty eight

94
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 5: between Pleasant Street and chickatabut and hopes that bright yellow

95
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 5: markers would reduce speeds, crashes, and serious injuries along the

96
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 5: heavily traveled thoroughfare, But it only added to traffic issues

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 5: that already existed, says this local particularly during peak commute times.

98
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: Always congested, always lots of backups.

99
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,799

100
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,640

Speaker 7: A bill filed by New Hampshire State Senator Keith Murphy

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,279

Speaker 7: the park system.

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,480

121
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,760

122
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 8: or people from out of state had to pay more

123

Speaker 8: to go to the beaches than I would.

124
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,279

125
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 7: in New England not charging a separate fee structure for

126
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,640

Speaker 7: higher price for non resident entry fees at its parks,

128
