Sox Fans...
August 14, 2007

Okay.. so.. last year I talked my husband to getting me tix to see the Sox when they came out here to SoCal to play the Angels...he did. We got four seats and took our two good friends..a married couple. Now i was stoked i was going to get to see the Sox..this was gonna be great!..We go to the game only to have my good friend and his wife telling us throughout the game how they hated being there.. They had mentioned to us that they hate when all the Sox fans come out of the wood works of everywhere and show up at the Big A...They complained that they were big mouths, loud, obnoxious, talk alot of sh*&t, arrogant, rowdy..I guess the best way to put it would be like.... they were saying the Sox fans were like the Raider Fans of baseball....throughout the game that night we had witnessed about a dozen fights, alot F bombs being exchanged between fans of both teams of course... and saw about four to 8 people being ejected from the game.. LOL...it was a bit insane for a ball game....

 Now.. this year.. we got two seats to see the Sox on Aug 7th again when they came out to play the Angels.. Now I have to let this be known here that my husband is a huge long time Padre's fan.. a huge Tony Gywnn fan.. and also a Angels fan... so he wasnt looking forward to going to this game AGAIN.. after last years experinece...  this time when we went.. we got everything we experienced from last year but not as many fights, and not nearly as many people being ejected from the park...my husband sat there in major irritation i could tell.. I love him dearly for going with me.. cuz he knew how much i wanted to go this game and how much I love the Sox.. He was irritated to high levels from all the sh*&t talking...LOL...

To get to the point i guess.... I tried to tell him that I cant imagine that ALL SOX fans are like that?..Ya know there's that saying that it only takes a few people to ruin for everyone....i was thinking thats what this was... there's always a few that give the rest a bad rep ya know?...So.. time to leave.. and heading out to the parking lot my husbands tells me.. " If you want to see this game again next year.. your gonna have to find someone else to go with you.. I cant do this again...LOL...which i laughed at....Bless his heart for doing things he hates just so i can be happy....

So I guess i want to hear some feed back on whats the deal with Sox fans?whats your opinion on this?... whats your take?....

I've never witnessed that kind of experience at Royals vs Sox games in KC (of course, there's never any Royals fans in the stadium), but some of your husband and friend's complaints sound to me a bit like jealousy. Any time a visiting fan enters the home team park, there's bound to be some frustration. The game last year sounds unfortunate, this year's game sounds more in line with a rivalry bout.

Well it'll be several years before they go to San Diego again. However, that occurs at every Red Sox away game, especially when there is a team with a fair-weather following (probably not your husband, but a majority of the Padres fans and Angels fans). We just don't mesh well with the easy-going folk. Go see the Sox in Atlanta one time. That's fun.

Unfortunately Sox fans are going to experience a bit of a backlash from other teams since so many fans travel on the road to see them and do get a bit carried away at times. It's a shame that some of the Sox fans act that way, but it's not indicative of the fan base itself.

haha, i loved going to the angel's series!! it was great!! i almost got into with a dumbass yankee fan in the parking lot and i loved it after game 3 when all the angel's fan were talking sh*&t...oh well...i got an earfull from everyone down here after the first 2 games, but i just kept saying "let the stats speak for themselves, we're still #1 in major league baseball, and yall can kiss my ass"...yes, red sox fans can get loud, but to me, that's just pure passion!! angel fans only got loud when they were going something GOOD...we were CONSTANTLY chanting "lets go red sox"...it's just like a marriage "through good times and through bad, through sickness and health"...THAT'S what it means to be a red sox fan!! pure loyalty!! [and a lot of patience!!] angel's fans are only fans for the sake of wanting to belong to something...i know i made THAT clear in my little about me...but if you want a date for next year, ill SO be there with my little cousin!! we're down!! ;) haha!! and so sox fans get carried away, yeah, it can get to be a bit much and a bit excessive, but it's for a good reason, we're the best!! the red sox are the best!! the backing will always be more intense than other teams...i guess that's just the way it is...and honestly, i find it to be endeering...[but that's just me being one of the annoying loud, carried away fans...lol] ...View More
