THE WAVE

[rangercal]

Sadly.. the practice of waiting is gone. When I go I wait till between batters - more often between innings. And if I get back during an at bat I wait at the top of the stairs. Always a steady stream of traffic up and down them though..  :headshake

Its even worse on $1 dog Thursday

Here here! I usually wait until between innings, but if it's during an at bat I'll wait for a pitch, run down the isle to my row, sit on the steps for another pitch and then go into my seat. That's when I'm one of the first couple seats. If I'm further in I'll wait until betwen innings.

A few stadiums (namely Petco and the BOB) now have their ushers stop you until a lull in the action. Meeting at the mound, pitching change, between innings. I think that is a great policy and should be considered at the Sox games as I cannot stand the people who get up and down 5,000 times a game during the inning.

[Texsox]

No. I hate it. I paid to watch the game, and that's what I want to do. The wave is bad baseball etiquitte.

 

I also hate it when people leave mid-inning during a batter and I have to stand up and miss a pitch or two. Drives me insane!

 

I hear that it was even happening at Hawk games. I always say, when that happens, society has gone to hell. Wait for a time out.

Look no further than a Blackhawks game for that etiquette.

LOL...that was like two years ago!! You think I remember that far back?

 

Yeah I never got up during a hockey game....it is very nice.

I HATE THE f***ING WAVE

[nitetrain8601]

If people want to do the wave in between innings fine. Not during the game please. This is the exact kind of thing why a lot of sox fans are sox fans and not cub fans. If you want a circus their is one 8 miles north from here.

 

The Cubs sell hot dogs and more food in general. Maybe we should stop selling food at the games. If you want it, you could go 8 miles north of the cell. That's how silly it sounds. I hate when people think of things as, "oh the Cubs do that, so we shouldn't do that" Stop having the Cubs in mind.

It drives me up the wall! I usually sit through the entire game without going anywhere that isn't my seat. And I hate missing the game. I definitely think there should be some kind of thing that the ushers won't let you go down the aisle during an at bat. Definitely common courtesy.

[Yossarian]

Wave = dumbest crowd activity at the ballpark

 

Pointless and stupid.

I agree. I hate the wave, I absolutely hate it. Let them do it in that park on the north side.

I am the exact sameway. I hate leaving my seat during a game. If I do, I hustle up to the bathroom and get back ASAP.

Its not so much as acting like the cubs. It's acting like their obnoxious fans! How the hell do you compare food to the wave???????????????????????????????????

That was my wave....I STARTED IT...IT WAS MINE......I DID THAT.....I MADE ALL THOSE PEOPLE DO THAT....IT WAS MINE Edited July 19, 2005 by DABearSoX

[Pods70Rowand33]

I HATE the wave, i think its the dumbest thing. last night when they started it my bro and i were just like what the hell.

[SuperSteve]

If I am drinking, yes. If I am with friends who are there to have fun, yes. If I am there with friends to watch the game, no. Overall, no preference.

[EvilMonkey]

If I brought my son to the game, he likes it, so I will relent and do it. Otherwise, no.

[SnB]

the only wave i ever remotely liked was this year @ assembly hall.

It was a blowout against Northwestern, close to the end of the game and the wave started. Dee/Deron/and luth were on the bench and participated.

Pretty funny

[Spod=Ratings]

no nadda no way its the stupidest thing ever

[Soxbadger]

A good wave is cool, if the fans can do things like split it, reverse it, etc. But that is more of a college atmosphere than professional sports.

 

A bad wave is pretty lame though.

[elrockinMT]

Considering that I have to see 99% of all my Sox games on TV I do the wave in my living room. I am trying to get my wife, granddaughter and the dogs to join in. So far only the grandkid humors me, but then again she is only 4.

[Chisoxfn]

Thank god....if this poll were the other way around, I'd close Soxtalk

 

The wave blows...case closed.

Technically speaking...Cub fans don't do the wave. And they don't have more food than the Sox. I know the Cubs were supposed to upgrade there ballpark food this year, but in prior years that stadium blew chunks opposed to the Cell in the food department.

 

I agree though and I'm not one to compare the two teams. Don't tell me how the Sox are doing in relation to the Cubs, tell me how the Sox are doing in the playoff standings.

They seem to love it in Anaheim don't they?

[wsox08]

the wave makes me want to :puke

[Texsox]

I love 4 to 5 foot waves. Great on a boogie board out at the island. The only wave I like is between innings as people head to the concession stands. Or the wave when you think you recognize someone but it isn't them and you are standing there like a dumbass trying to fake waving at someone else.
