tonyho7476 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Oct 12, 2005 -> 10:53 AM) 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?? I'm shocked that you don't know this...but its 2 here, 3 in Anaheim, and then 2 here.

SouthSidePride05 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 It's hard to get loud and into the game when your team is losing and you have that depressing feeling. You should've seen me at home. I had my head buried in my hands and I was dead quiet the whole game. Everyone at the game probably had the same feeling I had, and knowing that you spent a fortune to see it unfold live, they probably felt worse. If Paulie had gotten a hit in the 8th, tieing the game, or if Crede had gotten a hit in the 9th, the place would've erupted like we've never seen the Cell erupt!

It's just that some of our hitting innings went by so fast, it was hard to really get into it. I find this thread amusing considering all the attendance/fan issues we've had in the past.

Something I noticed early in the game was how flat PK seemed to be. This was in the 2nd inning, and of course, he looked flat the whole game.

You CAN'T tell how loud or quiet the crowd is by watching on tv.. especially Fox. Fox's audio is muted for the whole game so we can hear the announcers. ESPN was so much better. If ESPN had been broadcasting the game last night, you wouldn't be complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the crowd make our hitters forget how to bunt? Did our crowd make our base running suck? Did our crowd make some members of our infield play like they're back in high school? Again, if you were being sarcastic, then I take back everything I said. If you're being serious, then get a grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSidePride05 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) When the games were on ESPN, you could hear the music and the PA announcer in the background. Last night, you couldn't even hear that, sometimes you could barely hear it, but it was muffled. On ESPN, you could hear everything, including how loud the crowd really was. Bottom line: FOX SUCKS!

I have lived the sox for over 27 years now and i am 36, that is the absolute worst crowd i can ever remember. ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN PATHETIC. I can forgive the team for the miscues last night. They were all physical errors. They came in flat from the days off. They didn't seem arrogant or overconfident. JC was better than JC and the only mental error really wasnt that mental on JCs DP attempt that backfired. THE ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT FROM THE BEGINNING THE CROWD HAD A CHOICE TO SHOW THE TEAM THEY WOULDN'T ACCEPT THE POSSIBILITY OF THE TEAM LOSING! EVEN WHEN THEY FREAKIN GOT DOWN THE CROWD SHOULDVE GOT EVEN ANGRIER! I DONT KNOW HOW OLD YOU ARE BUT THE OLD COMISKEY WOULDVE SEEN ALOT OF SPILT BEER! & NO FREAKING CORPWIFES WOULDVE BEEN THERE! now i am done ranting about the crowd. it just pisses me off like no other! i bet you were sitting there just itchin to yell out...come you freakin crowd....get up and lets have a party here!

fathom Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 The crowd was extremely loud at the start of the game, and the team came out flatter than Mary-Kate Olsen.

SouthSidePride05 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) whitesoxmanager - Were you at the game last night or just watching it on tv? Was the Fenway crowd for game 3 to be blamed for the Red Sawx loss? They were way quieter than US Cellular last night. I remember commenting to my brother "that place [Fenway] is a freakin morgue".

Its just like waiting until the team wins to get on the bandwagon IMO. Its lame. The crowd tried f***in' hard to get the team back into the game. I'm without a voice today, and probably won't have one for the next few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middle Buffalo Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I listened to the first 3 innings on the radio (ESPN), and the crowd sounded really loud. From what I saw on tv, the crowd was not as loud as in the earlier innings, but the Sox lack of execution would probably be the cause of that.

SouthSidePride05 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) I was watching on tv and the crowd seemed dead.. I muted Fox and turned on ESPN radio.. and it was like night and day. Crowd was deafening and electric, and it was like I was watching a different game. FOX'S AUDIO WAS DEAD.
