Can we do something about this please?  I'm serious, things have gotten out of hand.  You all know what I am talking about.  Some of you may love it.  Some of you may despise it like me.  But you must admit, it has run its course at this point.  What am I talking about?

Ugh.  The Wave.  The single-most overused way of showing "support" for your team.  Except you don't show support for your team, you show support of throwing your arms in the air like everyone else, and get heated when Section 13 decides it wants to watch the game. 

I cannot stand when people decide that starting the wave in the bottom of the 7th when the Sox are down by one is a good idea.  Just watch the game.  Clap, cheer, hoot and holler; please don't take the time to annoy people by standing up and down every minute because your section just "can't get the thing started." 

The only thing worse than obsessive wave fans, are obsessive drinking fans.  Now, I'm a beverage drinker, I will admit.  But some people seemingly go to drink as much as they can, while becoming increasingly obnoxious.  If I really wanted to pound 12 tall ones that bad, I wouldn't pay $75 for a bleacher ticket on the street, and 7 bucks a pop for each of the 12 frosty friends.  I'd sit in my living room where the only person I can disturb is myself. 

These same people are up and down every other minute, and miss half of the pitches.  Then, once the service stops in the 7th inning cringe at the idea of actually watching the game without beer (PERISH THE THOUGHT!), and usually leave early to get a head start at Cask & Flaggon or Game On.  And hey, I'd rather have them go, because I don't need to hear them behind me, complaining about how their buzz is leaving them when Papelbon is trying to get strike 3 on the cleanup hitter for Visiting Team X. 

Oh and Pink Hats.  I'd write more, but this is only my first entry.  Don't want to spill too much, too early.
