RED SOX FANS IN FLORIDA!!!!

Hello guys, I am Alexa Jimenez the Governor of Florida for the Red Sox Nation, and I wanted to get feedback from our fans in our sunshine state.  I want to know how many Red Sox fans are register as Red Sox Nation fans and also get some ideas and suggestions from the only people who know this state getter than anyone, YOU Red Sox Nation South.  I would like to know where in your city do you get together to watch a game, any special place, bar, or restaurant where lots of Sox fans would congregate to watch a game, (maybe we can have a watch party in your town) plus other ideas that you would think will benefit other fans in your state if we were to put those ideas in action.  Please do not hesitate to give me your thoughts.  You can reply here or you can email me at: flgov@redsoxnation.com.

WOW what a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I couldn’t believe it. My god we really came back.  But we still have two more game to play and are here in Tampa.  We need to pay back the favor and win 2 games in their own back yard.  I will be honest with you, is going to be hard, really hard but I have faith and it can be done.  Let’s keep the faith alive and for the Red Sox fans here in Tampa we need to support our team, we need to give them our vibe, and energy, we can do this guys…………….. yes we can.

RED SOX FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All we are hearing here in Tampa is:

“HOW US RED SOX FANS ARE NOT LOYAL LIKE WE SAY WE ARE AND HOW WE DON’T SUPPORT OUR TEAM WHEN THEY ARE GETTING THERE BUTTS KICKED AND HOW WE JUST WALK OUT OF THE STADIUM AND BAIL OUT, BUT WHO CAN BLAME THOSE ANNOYING RED SOX FANS, THEY CAN’T TAKE THE HEAT US RAYS FANS ARE GIVING OUT THAT HEAT AND TAKING IT TO THAT FROZZEN COLD BOSTON, THEY ARE GOING DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE TEAM THAT NEVER COULD..”

Are we going to let this happen, are we going to let them talk about us Red Sox fan this way.  We are always there for our team, and yes I have to say never have I seen so many Sox fan get up and leave just cause we are losing.

Ok, so now is time Red Sox fans, specially the fans in Boston who are going to watch the game live at Fenway, who have the privilege of entering this stadium.  The Sox need our support. We have been in this situation before and its time to just give our team the faith and strength from our screams and “LET’S GO RED SOX”.  Living in Tampa it has been so hard, fans here do not know how to enjoy the fact that they have the possibility of going to the World Series.  They try to blame us Red Sox fans for being rude and nasty.  I don’t want to say the plenty of rude and nasty things The Rays fan would say to us, but if you live here in Tampa and you are a Red Sox fan, you know what I am talking about. Lets have hope, and if history doesn’t repeat it self at least I know I will be there next year and the year after that supporting my team, WHY???????? Cause “WE SUPPORT THROUGH THICK AND THIN, WE SUPPORT IN GOOD TIMES AND BAD TIMES, WE DON’T RUN AND JUMP ON THE WAGON JUST CAUSE IS MOVING” 

GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why all of a sudden we are the bad one for supporting our team????????????

 Tampa Rays won (“1″) good season and their so call fans “not the team”, think they are winners and all they do is trash talk and disrespect the Red Sox fans, cause they say we are very nasty and rude.  We think we own the Trop and they are sick of it and now is their turn.  Now I have always wonder living here in Tampa, was it our fault as Red Sox fans that the Tropicana Field was empty and there was no support from the Rays fans, is it the Red Sox fans fault plenty of empty seats were available cause they wouldn’t sell cause so call Rays fans would bother to go watch a game, is it out fault that we would come from anywhere to support our team, now we are the bad one?  Now we are the enemy cause we support through thick and thin?  I went to game 1 & 2 of the ALCS and it was amazing how many fans have jump on the wagon just cause is moving and is sad.  Plus it gives a very bad name to the team who has been so good this season playing great and still not till the ALDS the so call fans didn’t even bother to go to a game.  I personally saw how they would even verbally abuses little kids just cause they were wearing a Red Sox shirt, screaming obscene word, and I know in baseball you trash talk but there is a limit to what to say without making it personal, and that’s the thing they are taking this personal. I am not trying to start anything up but the Rays fans and every fan out there has to understand that they don’t pay us to battle it out they pay the players to do that, so let them do the battling and let us just support our team in a nice manner.

What a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got home at 3am.  It was a great game even though we didn’t win and I knew at soon as I saw Timlin walking toward the mound.  “THIS GAME IS SO OVER” I told my boyfriend.  But hey at least they came and did what they had to do, they won one game.  Now this is our time, we need to sweep them at home, we can’t let them come back here to Tampa cause our chances of winning will decrease, at least this is what I think.

Game 1 was awesome.  Dice-K did a great job.  I have to admit it was dangerous being around all these much exited Tampa Rays fans, but like always you can’t cover the color red from showing in Tampa Bay.  Meet lot of interesting people and fans. Thanks to all the Red Sox fans who went to Ferg’s and supported the team. Wow, What a game.  Dice-K was pitching a no hitter till the 7^th inning.  But like I always say is not over till the fat lady sings and today is one step closer.  Let see what tomorrow will bring when Beckett take charge and make us proud.

Talk to you tomorrow

Hello South Florida,

Also 4 lucky fans will have the chance to buy tickets (“AT FACE VALUE”) for Saturday’s game at the Tropics to watch Game 2 of the postseason.

And here are our pitching starters for this game series with the Ray:

Daisuke Matsuzaka will start Game 1

Josh Beckett will follow by starting Game 2

Jon Lester is scheduled to start Game 3

Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield got the assignment to start Game 4

I have a very good feeling about this, yes Rays have been very good and they will not make this easy, but I have a good feeling.  Plus having Lester pitch at home would help us a lot.

GO SOX!!!!
