Guest JimH Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I wonder why the White Sox - DRays game is a night game ... it's a getaway day for the Sox and it'll be a really short turnaround time for the 3:05 pm start tomorrow. Oh well, they'll just have to suck it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthSidePride05 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I don't understand why people have a problem with the idea of chanting "1908". Chants are what brings the energy up, and it gets the crowd to an electric atmosphere. I hate it when the crowd sits back, doesn't chant, and only goes wild if the Sox do something great. The Sox are the freakin World Champs, let's give them some love back, get off our asses, and go wild from the first pitch. Why not? If I was a player, I sure would appreciate it. And I hate the fact that some Sox fans are saying this series is gonna feel flat; every series in '06 should be an electrifying experience. Let's be as loud as the Old Chicago Stadium during a blackhawks playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regard to your first point, maybe a better idea is to cheer FOR the Sox and not against the opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can be done by being a fan and cheering for the Sox, not by being a doofus. Lest we all forget, until last year, we were 1917. Chanting 1908 over and over again just makes you look petty.

Nobody playing for either team could give two sh*ts about 1908. If you're so into chanting why don't you chant world champs or something. Dwelling on the Cubs misfortunes is exactly why Sox fans carry the stereotypes that we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The 1908 chant is only something I'd only consider pulling out if the Cubs are kicking our ass and we want to shut up the Cubs fans who would be celebrating. So in other words, it won't be needed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthSidePride05 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I'm curious to see if the 1908 chant does happen. I don't have a problem with hearing it loud once (it's all tongue in cheek anyway, why take it seriously) but if it continues over and over throughout the game, that could be embarrassing. What I think will happen is we'll hear it once, and then LOUD boos from both Cub fans and Sox fans, and everyone will think that it was soley the Cub fans who drowned-out the chant with boos.

LosMediasBlancas Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I have to admit, if things were the other way around, there is NO WAY in hell I'd be going to Wrigley for this series. I wonder what % of the crowd will be Cub fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 No reason to chant anything towards the Cubs. Just beat them and keep our mouth shuts. Act like we've done something, since we are World Champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
