A West Coast Fan Living an East Coast Life

What exactly are the perks of living on the East Coast? I have no idea, I guess you can wear running shoes with jeans and people seem to think that is okay. And if you were to fly to Europe it might be cheaper. Some people like having seasons, and what one overly eager intern once called "Nature's Fireworks" that is to say the leaves changing colors.

 The thing that may irritate me the most (not really cold weather is the worst part alongside easy access to the ocean) is being a fan of teams that play on the west coast. The games start so late. Take for example last nights' Lakers/Jazz game. It didn't start until well after 10:30 pm. I was fighting to stay awake the entire second half and didn't get to bed until well after 1:00 am (although I did make sure to text Dani-Lee and gloat about the victory). It's no wonder that the sports media has such an East Coast bias, they are all asleep by the time the Angels are playing (although east coast bias is not causing the bull pen to give up leads) and certainly by the time they are asleep. Thus I am forced to listen about the SOX and the Yanks, both of which I really don't care about.
They look sleepy.  I was sleepy watching the game last night.

I look forward to the day when I can see Angels games at 7:00 pm, when the Lakers are done by 10:00, and the 49ers get more than a casual mention. 

One of these days.

Ok. I am still in disbelief that last night happened. I refused to watch it because I want to remember happier times this season. I still love Kyle. Maybe if you are polite you can be invited to our wedding.

Nobody talks about the niners out here either. There is more talk about the lions (I'm not sure how that makes me feel).

Now that the Jazz made a quick exit, I can get my life back. Going to bed at 1am (or 2am when I'm so mad about the loss that I can't fall asleep so I stay up to watch post-game interviews). I miss being able to watch Monday Night Football while I eat dinner. I'm tired of listening to sports radio talk about the Redskins. War the Jazz, the Raiders, BYU, and the PAC-10, (and the Angels for you and Dave P). Unwar the Lakers. Out.
