SoxFan562004 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 it didn't sink in until I heard Rooney's call and looked on-line at ESPN and Chicago Sports.com... it still hasn't 100% sunk in, I think reading the papers tomorrow will be awesome, I probably have to do it in private, because I might start crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I can't believe they've won it. I know how sweet this win was for me, but for all of those that have suffered far more years of defeat its gotta be that more sweet for you. What a freaking series...now lets win 4 more, 1 game at a time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 23 years as a cheering Sox fan here. Since I was 9 yrs old. God, this is so great! I got so happy that I cried watching it on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish my father was still alive to see this day. What a great feeling this is. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 To every White Sox fan out there, and especially everyone at SoxTalk! You all deserved this! I don't know how I'm going to get any sleep right now, but I gotta. Good night all, and God bless the White Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Great thread. I'm happy for all Sox fans. But I do have a soft spot for the old school fans that were cheering this team long before my parents got drunk, f***ed, and I came flying out.

The Critic Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yeah, all you 2,500 Sox fans, enjoy this. That's all the Sox fans we have in this city, right? Isn't that what "media experts" always say?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I've been a fan for 30+ years and can honestly say there was little "suffering". Sox fans are the best. I love attending the games. I love the great players who have donned the Sox uni, I love the characters that have come and gone. I've been disappointed, felt the baseball gods where alinged against us, but never suffered. All those disappointments make the AL Pennant that much sweeter. A sweet friend of mine sent me a cd and this morning I woke up to this tune What if I told you It was all meant to be Would you believe me, Would you agree It's almost that feelin' That we've met before So tell me that you don't think I'm crazy When I tell you love has come and now... A moment like this Some people wait a lifetime, For a moment like this Some people search forever, For that one special kiss Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime, For a moment like this Everything changes But beauty remains Something so tender I can't explain Well I maybe dreamin' But 'till I awake Can we make this dream last forever And I'll cherish all the love we share For a moment like this Some people wait a lifetime, For a moment like this Some people search forever, For that one special kiss Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime, For a moment like this Could this be the greatest love of all I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall So let me tell you this... Some people wait a lifetime For a moment like this Some people spent two lifetimes, For a moment like this Some people search forever, For that one special kiss Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me Some people wait a lifetime, For a moment like this OHHHH, LIKE THIS OHHHH, YEAH, 'cuz people search for every moment yeah. Some people wait a lifetime, For a moment like this. Ohhhhh, like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettwurst Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hey folks ... I speak for most or all Red Sox fans in saying that we're thrilled for you all. You clearly were the best team in the American League, and now it's time to prove you're the best anywhere. An AL pennant is one thing, burying history is another. Sticking it to Cubs fans ... also quite something. Oh, there would be joy on the South Side. Bring 'er home, fellas. You can't be satisfied unless you do. I'll say that if our Sox don't win it, I believe we all feel we'd like yours to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're fortunate enough to win the Series, I assure you that the joy true ChiSox fans will feel is unparalleled. I never thought baseball influenced me as much as it apparently did and does. No more inferiority complex, added confidence, lessened pessimism, a monkey off your back ... and the reverse effect for your archrivals -- that's what 2004 did for us and that's what we hope 2005 does for you.

It was fun to watch the Red Sox celebrate. The manner in which they won, was really a joy to see, and fueled by Yankee jealousy, was a cherry on top. When does the WS sink in?

bjm676 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 There was no other place that I wanted to be to see the Chicago White Sox win the AL pennant than my parents' house last night. Talk about die-hard fans. They've had season tickets since forever, even since the days of fighting off last place. I'm happier for them than anyone. They saw the '59 WS, they'll be going on Saturday to Game 1. Now, hopefully they can see a World Series winner. I swear I was trembling last night. To hear John Rooney's call. It was historic. God bless White Sox fans and the Chicago White Sox team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxmanager Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 my old man is a cubs fan & didnt even call to congratulate the entire ALCS. that is why hanging with everyone in anaheim for the 3 game set whom i didnt know for one minute was so extra special. this is a time for the real fans to hang & revel!

AM radio 670 sitting on the kitchen tabel the play by play by bob Elson. THe chance of seeing the sox on tv not very good. We lived south of chicago so when the sox changed networks we listend to the radio. The media and even the sox made it difficult to see our games but they never stopped the radio waves and nothing stopped me nor my father nor will it stop my grandsons his children and I'm guessing their grandchildren from being sox fans.
