How I learned to stop worrying & love the Sox

So it turns out that even friends don’t let friends have wicked crazy discounts for one of the most in-demand games of the year. I’ll take this as a lesson to get rich before the playoffs roll around.

I got two standing room only joints - face value twenty bucks - for a cool $75 a pop. Haggled the guy down from $80 apiece, but still feel incredibly ripped off.

The joke is that I should have just copped these fuckers on Stub Hub a few days ago. Patron of the streets that I am, though, I decided to hold out for my scalper homeys.

One dude got back to me with a discount price, but only after I dropped the mint. All the rest of dem, who I ran into on the street, laughed at my low bids, forgetting how many times I’ve gotten them all stoned, and bought their shit seats when I could have paid the same price from the box office.

No hard feelings, though, as the scumbags at Ace Tickets were also selling SROnlys for $75. It’s like they say: keep your enemies close and your friends closer - especially when the playoffs are right around the corner and Sox tixx are on the line. 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.
