I would bet that these people consider themselves to be 'Delta' people as opposed to 'East Bay'.
Just one man's opinion. 
Well, I live here in Manteca ("Tikky Town", "Mantweeker") and although the Delta is about a 20 minute drive north (Whiskey Slough) or west (little marinas dotting the Bryon Highway to Discovery Bay) most times I hear us referred to as "from the valley" more so than East Bay although I would prefer "Delta folks" - since it would give some feeling of outdoors and less of city.
I think unofficially the term "East Bay" defination ends at the Altamont Pass although with all the construction over here due to the migration of the Bay area to the valley, we are getting classified as "East Bay" (or Far East Bay I heard recently).  |

How are all you guys doing with the commute headaches today? What a nightmare! Thank the Lord no one was killed in that freeway fire and collapse!
I think of the Concord/Antioch area as the outer edge of East Bay, but yeah, it's still East Bay.
