Bought A's playoff tickets today...

Today I bought A's playoff tickets.  I will be attending game 1 or 3 with a trio of corworkers and one of their wives.  We'll be sitting behind the RF foul pole.  

Frankly, I am wondering if I should just switch allegience to the A's.  I've liked them for years now, since the Beane era began, even though I am a Rangers fan.  My AL West hatred has been targeted squarely at Angels and Seaman fans.  

I won't do it, of course, because I am a sadist and I have to root for the Rangers.  Nonetheless, my life would be alot easier if I could just cut the cord and follow the successful francise that is located just down the highway from me...

Also today...
I rode my bike 18.3 miles at a rate of 18.3 miles per hour.  That is a cool pair, plus that is a new speed record for me.  So that was nice.

Being...
a Rangers fan does not equal "sadism," it equals "masochism."

I knew that...
But I am a poor speller and know how to spell "sadist".

Was it relatively easy to get tickets?

Yes.
I bought them several hours after they went on sale and got pretty good tickets for the section I am in, and there were many sections left open.

That's so much different than the Astros last year.

Wow...
sellout on top of being a yelp whore....

What are you turning into, Patrick?

Soon, you'll be one of those ultra-liberal yuppies that we all hate....  :)

I was hoping Longhorn would post in this diary saying "Trader". That'd be hysterical.

I'm going too
The best experience at a baseball game I've ever attended was in 2003 -- Boston at Oakland, Pedro vs. Hudson, with Ramon Hernandez winning the game on a squeeze bunt in the 11th.

The crappy stadium was electric that night.

Wow
The fact that you'd even consider something like that makes me sad.

I'm a Rangers fan for life and can't even imagine what it would be like to think about what it would be like to imagine maybe switching teams.

i would never switch
but i am cheering for the a's like crazy now just because i hate anaheim (i refuese to aknowledge the ridiculous name change) with a passion.

Booooo
Rooting for the A's would be like rooting for the Redskins, who happen to be 45 minutes away from me.

That close proximity? It just makes it extra sweet when they trip on their busted little dicks...

Macho, macho man. I want to be, a macho man.

Amen
I dislike the Angels, but the A's are my least favorite team in all of pro sports and I root against them all day every day. Go Angels!!!
