RNemz43 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 as a die hard sox fan, devastating is an understatement for yesterdays loss. after a loss like that, on opening day, i cant deal with it. i cant even look at anything about the mlb for a loooooooong time afterwards. i know its only one game, but still, every game is important. how do you deal with such awful losses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I can deal with it. It's already put right behind me. I'm just focused on this team winning a game tom. Plus, the Twins were losing last time I checked so if we win tomorrow, we'll be tied with them which is always a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I do the obvious...I realize that there's still 161 games left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 During the course of a 162 schedule I don't normally shut myself out from the media, but today was different. Coupled with the circumstance itself and the Cubs opening day win I choose to avoid ESPN, radio, and newspaper articles on yesterdays monumental collapse. May seem extreme but its good to avoid all proof that opening day 2004 ever existed. Tomorrow is a new day and a new game. Hopefully we can all put this s*** behind us.

Do you think that if we have a 6-run 9th and comeback and win the game tomorrow that we'll get as much air-time as the game yesterday did?

I to avoided the radio, and espn, just all the media, but when beltran hit the homer I dealt with it, by punching a wall, breaking one of my pictures on the wall, and making the smoke detector fall of the ceiling, my mom wasn't very happy.

Mr. Showtime Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I have no problem with Wright as closer, but then you have a 6 million dollar bad 7th or 8th inning pitcher in Botch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Here's my rule, if the sox win, I catch every sportscenter, baseball tonight that I can. If the sox lose, I will watch those shows, but immediately turn the channel when the sox highlights come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSF Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Here's a little word of advice: Don't listen to sports talk radio. They're usually negative and will just piss you off more. Plus, they only have callers who call to b**** and moan and say the usual (i.e, these guys suck!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt52235 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 When the ball flew out of the park, I yelled "f***!" for as long and as loud as I could. Followed by a few other choice words. Yesterday's loss hit me pretty hard, but I remind myself that everyone loses a game like that during the year. We've got ours out of the way, so let's move on.

YASNY Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Alcohol, and lots of it... After a defeat, drink to drown your sorrows. After a win, drink to celebrate your victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
