How I learned to stop worrying & love the Sox

Copperfields - where the beer gives you gas, and the beer gives you gas. A Fenway tradition for some, and a place that smells like a piss-infested torture chamber to others.

I work almost directly next to this place, and for the life of me can’t pinpoint the type of Red Sox fan that frequents tis place. There are the commuters, who pick it (I think) because it’s the closest beer to the Fenway T stop. Then there are the regulars (just kidding).

Not sure why I rolled through before tonight’s Sox on Sox showdown, but I will say it’s a tad cleaner than last time I stopped by. Gotta give credit where it’s due, and in the case of this place, at least there’s room to relax before piling into Fenway with 30,000 animals. Bottoms up. Zoom

How I learned to stop worrying & love the Sox Several healthcare professionals have warned that I'll have a heart-attack unless I seek help for my psychotic hatred of pro sports.

As such, since I work less than one block from Fenway Park, I decided that the only remedy is all-out assimilation. During the 2010 season I hit 43 home games, and have since been referring to the Sox as "we" and engaging in all sorts of other foreign rituals.

Stick with me through my struggle to become a Sox fan, as I force-chug hella beer to numb myself like strippers do before they hit the pole. This is no joke. This is for survival, and for my book, "How I Learned to Stop Worrying & Love the Sox," which drops in 2012.
