Boston Fans really piss me off

Sitting at home watching the game on TV and listening to the "lets go Red Sox" chants I got a little noxious. I nearly turned the game off. Thankfully, I stuck it out long enough to see the good guys get the win.

But it really got me thinking... we are 2500+ miles from Boston and their fans are dominating our ballpark? I think the state of Washington should adopt a law that allows you to kick a posing Boston fan in the crotch if   a.) They have never lived in the New England area b.) If they have never been to a Red Sox’s game at Fenway.  If the answer yes to either of those, go ahead be a hooligan and make an ass out of yourself. If you answer no you should get kicked in the junk. 

 

(FYI, Canada Day last year against the Blue Jays was a real shit show)

Ms fans are bad

On Mondays game, prior to Ichiro’s great catch the loudest cheer of the night was for the dancing groundskeepers. In our section at least we were able to shout down the let’s go Sox chants

Sorry, at first glance I thought he was a RSN troll

I later went back and saw he was an M’s fan, so I had to retract my statement.

Yeah

But half of those RSN douchebags WERE Mariner fans as recently as 2003.

To be even more nitpicky,

it should be nauseated.

If you are nauseous, it means you cause nausea in others.

That might be kind of an old-school, curmudgeon-y definition, but it’s the one that was beaten into my head.

Anyone else find it amusing

That there was a large contingent of Yankee fans there today, just to piss of the Red Sox fans?

It's a bandwagon

Most of these people have no other ties to the Boston area.

One guy saw my "Red Sox Nation is a Bandwagon" sign

He then showed me his Rhode Island driver’s license. He was ok. The rest of them couldn’t prove it.

Yeah, if he's a legit Chowd, just say "good job for those 86 years"

Then piss in his beer anyway.

Like I’ve said a million times, Boston’s fanbase was cute and sympathetic when they were mired under the curse of the Bambino. Now that they’ve got two championships, killed the curse, and earned some pride… well now they’re fucking annoying and should die in a fire.

Fans are typically idiots.

I was at a Tampa Bay v Red Sox game last year

in Tampa and they were the most dislikeable group I’ve ever seen. The worst part was that you could tell that none of them were fans before 2005. They all had those t shirts with a name on the back of people who weren’t on the team before 2005 like JD Drew and they had those rediculous green jerseys. I went into the game wanting the Sox, but left with Boston tied with the Yankees as my 2nd least fav team.

Who doesn't think Sox fans should be kicked in the junk?

Those four people should be kicked in the junk.

In the name of the Bedard, the Felix, and the Ichiro, amen.

It is a problem with Seattle culture. I went to Chicago once, and even in their most tourist heavy areas, they still only sell Cubs and Bears stuff with a small White Sox section. At the Cubs game everybody was there to see the Cubs. When we sing “take me out ot the ballgame” half of our fans say “root root root for the home team” instead of “the Mariners”, there they said “cubbies”. I was very jelous. In Seattle the Red Sox and Yankee apperal section will be the same size as the Mariner section.

Being a sports fan in Seattle is hard for lots of reasons.

In Minnesota, "Take me out to the ballgame"

is always sung with the lyrics “home team”

by Two Rs and Two Ls on May 29, 2008 12:08 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

The real lyrics are "home team"...

...aren’t they? It just gets replaced with the ballparks’ team name if it is (or can be converted to) two syllables.

I've never been to

Missouri or Busch.

No, I would prefer not to be kicked in the junk.

Family?

I was a huge Cardinals fan when I was a little kid, because my entire family were Cards fans. When we moved to Washington and those people weren’t around anymore, it faded. Had I grown up around them, there is little doubt in my mind that I would have stayed a die hard fan.

Yup.

Many members of my family have baseball fandom that re dates the Mariners.

I was at this giant collectibles store in Rowland yesterday and I saw the coolest thing ever

a signed Stan Musial jersey… $2200… I’ll admit it, I was tempted.

I also almost bought a signed Ted Williams ball for my dad ($1200)

by seattlebruin on May 29, 2008 11:45 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I can accept that. For that same reason I am part Cubs fan.

But then I was born in Illinois and have been to at least 40 games at Wrigley.

Just seemed strange, but I cannot blame someone for not going out of there way to visit St. Louis. Awful place.

Cards fandom is historically tied to radio coverage

From way back in the day when they were the furthest west, and their games were broadcasted in areas that wouldn’t have a major league team for years.

This reminds me

A girl in my calculus class said that she and her friends were going to cheer for the Red Sox because it would be fun and possibly cool. I wanted to curb stomp her right there.
