Whitewashed in '05 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Was is just me or did that crowd seem a lot less into the game today than in the ALDS? I am sure it wasn't just me because I could really hear them before. I wish I was out there, I wouldn't sit down or shut up. Oh yeah and how could I forget, how about Buck and McCarver?? All I could hear was "slurp slurp slurp ERSTAD slurp slurp." Holy crap they were horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeBatterz Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 My brother called me from the game before it started and said it was WAY louder than even for Boston and it was totally jacked up before the first pitch. I think being down 3-0 took them out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I could hear was "slurp slurp slurp ERSTAD slurp slurp." Holy crap they were horrible. It wasn't just you. Me and my girlfriend where at tonight's game, and we also went to ALDS Game 2. NIGHT AND DAY! Last Wednesday, we did not sit down or stop clapping and yelling from the 5th inning on. Tonight people had to be coaxed to get out of their seat and to get in to the game. I noticed lots of people wondering around as if they had never been to The Cell before. The crowd was not there to properly cheer on the Sox and it was shameful.

Yeah, I would have to agree with that. Lots of limos and chauffeured cars waiting out side the stadium tonight as we left. Lots of people wondering around lost like they had never been to USCF before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I think the crowd was a little quiet early on in the game because a lot of the fans just expected the Sox to win this game easily. Oh well, it was still a blast, and I find it hard to get mad at things right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 that sucks there were so many rich fans who didn't cheer and had no stake in the team apparently. But like you said, with Anaheim's travel the past couple days we were expected to win unlike the bosox series. It's a big difference. You gotta have the killer instinct and we probably woulda had it against the hated yanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not mad but I am disappointed in our team. I expected them to execute better both offensivley and defensivley. Byrd might not have great stuff like Count but he put us away since we weren't taking good swings. For some reason I had a bad feeling about this game but then again, who can have a good feeling going against the Angels, especially with our west coast woes. This series can do a lot to our sox for next season. Just imagine, if we beat them all the west coast bs will be out of their head. Going into the west won't be automatic L's. Like our early sox, play good for a long stretch then suck for one day, hopefully they took out all their bad days today. Tomorrow is back on the field with some confidence and go home with the series tied. Huge game tomorrow, go get em sox and I will still stay off the game thread.

tonyho7476 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Oct 11, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) We were down 3-0 early, and from what I saw the crowd was on its feet from the 7th inning on basically. I agree...the crowd was jacked before the game....and then after that Garrett Anderson HR, it was quieted. Game 2 of the ALDS was very similar. We got down early, the crowd was quiet until the 5th and then we went nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I was at both Game 1 against the Bo-Sox and at last night's game. Last night's crowd was a lot more quiet. I think it had to do with being down early of course, maybe the cold and it being Sox fans at the Cell. It doesn't take much to silence that crowd. Instead of getting louder and louder in the 9th, to try to pump up the team, it got more and more quiet. You could hear the pop of the mitt when Crede struck out.

Half of my section didn't get up once and many didn't even seem to know or care who was playing. I hate how MLB distributes tickets for the playoffs.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 All the lame asses err, people around me seemed to really know baseball and the Sox.

Sox1422 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I was there last night, sitting behind the plate and that section was dead. Me and my 2 buddies I was with were the only ones standing up and cheering. The rest of the snobs in that section were telling us to sit down. It was crazy. If you looked down either line all the premium box seats were sitting down and the rest of the stadium was on their feet. The crowd was dead last night and it sucked. Nothing at all like game 1 of the ALDS. Hopefully tonight is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 that's what happens when you don't let fans buy those seats. i'm sorry it was like that last night. the only game i got to go to was ALDS game 1 and it was a ton of fun (for obvious reasons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd will be in the game if at the end of the first the white sox have a lead. You cant go down a few runs early and expect the fans to jump up and down. That plus all of the mental f*** ups. Remember if they execute and fail its one thing, but missing signs, failing to put down bunts and running the bases dumb dont really energize the crowd.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted October 12, 2005 Author Share Posted October 12, 2005 Do you guys really think if you go to the park before game time you can get seats? I guess it's always a gamble going to find seats but I don't want to make the trip if there isn't a good chance of me getting a seat. How is it gonna be, 3 games in Chicago, 3 in Anahiem and the last one here?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minute they go down, the crowd dies, the minute they go up or threaten the crowd goes nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
