BigNDfan80 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 "He says that it makes him excited, that when he comes in the fans give him the energy to pitch good," As Hawk would say..."I luv Shingo." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeportHeather Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Shingo's wife commented a few weeks ago when she was in town that Shingo NEVER got standing ovations in Japan...This type of fan support is all foreign to him, and he's really feeding off of it. Keep it up, Sox fans! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I get more fired up seeing that HUGE smile after another White Sox Winner! SHINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I was thinking the exact samething after both of his last two saves. He is genuinely happy, and not some macho coolness, after a home win.

SnB Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 On sat. night as soon as everyone heard the gong, everyone immediately stood up and started cheering.....I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I would like to nominate this for pun of the year. I think it's funny that we treat Shingo as such a "foriegner", when in all reality he is no different than all of the other players out there that need a green card to play in the league. Magglio needs one, Sosa needs one, Jose probably does. But since Shingo is Japanese, he is an oddity. Sad really. The gong is also wrong. Just plain wrong.

Yoda Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 On sat. night as soon as everyone heard the gong, everyone immediately stood up and started cheering.....I loved it. That sound was all over the place. You notice Godzilla was on the big screen TV once Shingo earned the save? I thought it was pretty cool knowing that the monster (Godzilla) is also from Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Lighten up....a lot :headshake I am. I'm fine, I am not going crazy. Trust me. Just an observation, as anybody else might have about anything else. Trust me, people are getting more worked up over Carlos and his first swing than I am over this. As Johnny B. used to say (cue music) "I'm a happy boy!" We all just need to step in the s*** at one point or another, and I think it appears it was my turn.

whitesoxin' Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 f.e.s.? No, he is from Romania. He lived there until he was 3. And then lived in Germany for a few years. You would never know it though. He is a typical American 22 year old. I'm not sure, but I think he still has his green card. I know he did at one point, but he doesn't talk about it much, so he might not have it now.
