Pro’s and Con’s of Life as a West Coast Red Sox Fan

Pros

1-SF Giants have a really nice park, accessible by ferry, too.

2-Don’t have to stay up late to watch Sox home games, especially extra inning games.

3-You rarely have rain delays or cancellations.

4-You don’t have to worry about Yankee’s or Ray’s security Nazis if you yell ‘Go Sox!’

5-Don’t have to listen to Yankee fans cackle as much as back east when they’re having a better year than the Sox.

6-The Connecticut Yankee

7-They have Fat Tire Ale at Oakland Coliseum.

8-Watching games at Oakland Coliseum is a lot cheaper (the money) than at Fenway.

9-It’s hell of expensive to live here.

Cons

1-I miss Fenway.

2-I can’t stand listening to Joe Morgan, (nice guy, helluva smart player, smooth voice, but puh-leeze, talk less!)

3-I miss Jerry.

4-Have to listen to Bob Fosse when A’s play the Sox in Boston.

5-Although there are a lot ofSox fans here, you have to look for them, you just can’t presume that *everyone* is a Sox fan.

6- McGreevy's, Cask 'n Flagon, Jillians, Yawkey Way, et. al. are 3k miles away.

7-They don’t have Green Monsta Ale here.

8-Watching games at Oakland Coliseum is a lot cheaper (the experience) than at Fenway.

9-It’s hell of expensive to live here.
