I need your help

Tomorrow Safeco will likely turn into Fenway West for three games. Because I have season tickets because I'm an idiot I'll be going to all three games. Now I'm asking you to come out and support the city, or if you can't do that with how the M's are playing, at least boo Boston. Obviously there will be some Red Sox chants, but I ask you to stand up and and shout these motherfuckers down with me. We'll probably lose, but we can't go out without a fight.

I've told my last Red Sox nation experience here at LL before.
Suffice to say, no way in hell am I going to the park over the next three days.

Your story makes me hate RSN even more

Not worth the money
The only way to have your voice heard with the M’s is with your wallet, and I’m casting my vote agasint this travesty by not spending “premium” dollars to see a Red Sox game. Protesting outsde the stadium? That I could get behind.

It oughta be interesting to see the attendance on this homestand..
Sure the BoSox series will be inflated with “fans” of the Red Sox, but when the Tigers hit Safeco, I’m bettin on record low attendance numbers

Are you going to sell some of the tickets if the season gets too depressing?
I don’t think I could go to 81 games in a year (being under 21). I think it would be too much of a good thing.

Oh I'll go to all 81

Also, it's because I love baseball. Even if it's bad baseball. I know I'll miss it when it's gone.

And when you have gone to all 81 games
You will have an understanding and appreciation for baseball that few people ever get to experience.
I would recommend that any big baseball fan go to a minimum of 70 games in a single season at least once. You begin to truly feel the ebb, flow and grind of a season.

You should try selling your tickets before each game
There will have to be a few RSN douches you could swindle.

They don't deserve to be there.
Giving more seats than they’ll already buy is blasphemy

Should I try to sell the "void" sheets at the end of my season ticket book?

The last Red Sox game at Safeco I went to was in '06
The game where Beltre had the in the park HR and Sexson hit a walkoff FB.
I’ll be there on Wednesday. Drunk as hell and ready to clobber some bandwagoners.

I was at that game too!
I’m going to try and make it to one of these games

Fuck the Mariners
You should scalp your tickets to the bandwagon Boston fans. Try to get some money back on this lost season…

Yep.
Jokes on the Sox fans, they have to go to a Mariners game.

Red Sox fans like blowouts.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

A joke, because we could all use some humor
One foggy night, a Yankee fan is heading north from New York and a Red Sox fan is driving south from Boston . While crossing a narrow bridge, they hit each other head-on, mangling both cars. The Red Sox fan manages to climb out of his car and survey the damage. He looks at his twisted car and says, “Man, I’m lucky to be alive!” Likewise, the Yankee fan gets out of his car uninjured, he too feeling fortunate to have survived. The Red Sox fan walks over to the Yankee fan and says, “Hey, man, I think this is a sign that we should put away our petty differences and live as friends instead of being rivals.” The Yankee fan thinks for a moment and says, “You know, you’re absolutely right! We should be friends. In fact, I’m going to see if something else survived the wreck.” The Yankee fan pops open his trunk and removes a full, undamaged bottle of Jack Daniel’s. He says to the Red Sox fan, “I think this is another sign we should toast to our newfound friendship.” The Red Sox fan agrees and grabs the bottle. After sucking down half of the bottle, he hands it back to the Yankee fan and says, “Your turn!” The Yankee fan calmly twists the cap back on the bottle, throws the bottle over the bridge into the river and says, “Nah, I think I’ll just wait for the cops to show up.

If nothing else
We can root for the M’s to beat the Sawx in order to help the Rays, and of course to embarass RSN by getting beat by the worst team in the majors.

Why is Safeco Fenway West?
In my 18 years of NE living, i’ve never heard someone say they want to live in Seattle.
It sucks there.

False
Having a job where I work for two weeks straight then have two weeks off gives me a lot of time to travel. I have been all over the world. Seatttle, WA is the best city in the world.

Seriously
If I ever move out of Alaska again there are really only three cities I could live in. Seattle, New Orleans, or Paris.
by thewyrm on May 26, 2008 11:48 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
New Orleans sucks.
It sucked even before the flood displaced all the poor people.
Seattle’s awesome. It’s easily my favourite US city. In most countries I’d rather live in a smaller community (Canada included), but in the US I’d rather live in Seattle.

I liked Chicago
but of course I was only visiting. I could maybe see myself living on the North Side given a reasonably affordable living situation and maybe involvement with one of the theatre groups… but otherwise (save for nightmare scenarios of going broke and ending up back with family in Vegas), yeah, I can’t imagine living anywhere other than Seattle.

I hate big cities with a passion
The only one I could possibly live in is Seattle. It’s a great place.

Probably only Seattle, Chicago, or San Francisco
But Seattle definitely owns the others. I don’t think I would chose anywhere else in the world to live than Washington state. I prefer the suburbs or rural areas myself, but I would live in Seattle if I had to live in a big city. It’s extremely pretty here and it doesn’t rain as here as it is stereotyped(and thank god for that, to keep ignorant people such as Sylar out of Seattle). One day we will have a baseball team to be proud of, or I hope so.

See you there tonight Brett
Hopefully a Sox fan says something dumb to my wife. That is always worth the price of admission.

I often attend the Red Sox games with a co worker of mine up here in Anchorage
He was born and raised in Boston. Has loved the Red Sox his entire life. Actually had a job in Fenway when he was a child. He is totally respectful when he goes to SafeCo. He engages fans in light hearted smack talk, but it is always fun and half hearted. He praises our good players and claps for them when they make a good play, He says good job when we inevitibly whoop Red Sock ass (why do we play them so well at home?). Anyway, why can’t every fan who shows up to SafeCo to cheer for Boston be like him?
by thewyrm on May 27, 2008 11:58 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sounds like he may be a real fan.
Most people wearing Boston gear are posers.
by Sec 108 on May 27, 2008 12:01 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is true
It can’t be possible for all the 30,000+ Boston fans in attendance to originally be from Boston and/or New England.
