Tonight I Cheat on the Padres With the Enemy.

by Mad_Villain on Jul 26, 2010 12:50 PM PDT

At 4 o'clock this afternoon, I will be embarking on an adventure I never thought I'd have to endure. A train traveling north to Anaheim will find me sitting next to a friend. This friend was kind enough to invite me as his guest to a game he had bought tickets to months in advance. This friend, you see, is a Boston Red Sox fan. Tonight, I do not travel north to our neighbors as a guest, not as a potential or even closet Angel fan. Tonight, I am a Red Sox fan. I'm sorry. I already called my dad, brother, and high school coach to apologize. I want to apologize to you all, as well.

This be not Allen J. Kha writing an uncomfortable love letter to Wonko, apologizing for his very existence. This is simply me saying, "I know what I'm doing, I'm not proud of it but it's a weak moment. I'm having drinks getting f_____g hammered on jaeger bombs, pretending to be something I'm not and feeling proud of it."

Tonight, I will start conversations about how we'd be in first place if the stupid Padres would hurry up and give us Agonz. How the Padres are playing over their heads and won't be in first place come September and, finally, when I have enough Boston fans listening to my preachy word of baseball righteousness, I will remove a Sox jersey to reveal my Padres attire. One of them will no doubt offer to "red sock me in the eye," or something dumb like that.... But I will be triumphant.

Triumphant like the Padres when they win the 2010 World Series.

Go Padres.

Well, what you described isn't really cheating on the Padres with the Red Sox.

Acting like you’re totally into them, and then when they’re ready to give it up you say, “Keep it in your pants, bitch, I’m already taken.”

They’ll say, “You got me hahd for no reason, you stupid tease? F_ckin’ retahded.”

That’s a bitch move. And I love it because it’s the Red Sox. Apology accepted.

I need new pants.

How enthusiastic is this fandom?

As a Yankees watcher (not “fan” in how the Padres are my life-mate, a “watcher” in the sense that it’s close by and pretty cheap…heh heh) I’m wondering about the enemy sympathizers in our ranks.

If you’re just humoring the dude, that’s straight. But mentioning “fan” and “Red Sox” makes me a bit nervous….

….and being nervous isn’t good for the world around us.

quite a few of my friends are sawks fans

i had an infuriating conversation with one on Saturday trying to tell me that Adrian wasn’t an elite hitter. like he’s pissed that he isnt in Boston yet, so he’s going to make himself feel better by trashing the guy.

they are impossible to reason with. which will make it better when they are watching us in October because they missed the playoffs.

One of my best friends is a Sox fan.

But he’s also a pretty big Padres fan, which is why I continue to be friends with him. Also, he’s not obnoxious (well, he is, but not about baseball) and USUALLY pretty reasonable.

I need new pants.
