Two Birds.



On opening day of last season a hawk floated over Fenway during the game, a rodent clutched proudly in its beak.


At yesterday's final spring training game before the new season starts, an osprey was spotted showing off the dead fish that he had procured for his dinner in the skies above the game in Fort Myers.


It's a sign. I don't know of what but it definitely feels like a sign. Admittedly, it was at Hammond Stadium so it would seem to be more of a sign for the Twins but since there's no such thing as the Metrodome raptor and without the first bird, it's just a bird behaving like a bird, I will claim it as a sign for the Sox. And really, it's not the osprey's fault that the last spring training game was scheduled for the Twins' park. Is it?
