retro1983hat Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Sometime during the 9th inning Sunday, the crowd should stand as one and cheer the Sox for their championship year coming to an end. No matter what happens between now and then, that will be the last day Sox fans get to see their team until next April. So let's cheer them off and for a few minutes forget how they pissed this thing away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 No thanks, I think one long colective boo from 38,000 Sox fans from the 1st innning through the 9th on Sunday would get the point across. This team got a big enough head after winning the World Series, acting like they could just show up and the damn thing would just be handed to them. They had the whole offseason to celebrate their championship but sadly they decided to take an extra 6 months off for celebratory reasons.

chisox72 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 19, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) I will in attendance both Saturday and Sunday(If I find something better to do Saturday, no go) and unless they win on some sort of walk off, or have a Dodger-esc finish, there will be no standing O from me. I spent ALOT of time, and alot of money on the club this year. What I am cheering for? Them being able to tee off a few weeks early? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thank you, I could not have said it better myself. I have been to over 30 games this year because of my weekend package and random tickets. I too have spent a TON of money on this team this year, when there are other things I could have spent it on. I can deal with losing *IF* they are getting beat. But this lazy, poorly coached, complacent, no-urgency feeling, bunch of zombies does not make me feel good about my investment at all. Its all of that that makes me angry as hell.... So no, they DO NOT deserve a standing ovation on Sunday....they deserve a swift kick in the junk...all of them.

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Yeah, what's wrong with them, going 20 games over .500, bastards. It sucked lately, but if you really remember corpseball and a real bad pitching staff (hell, it wasn't long ago, unless some of you are bandwagoners? ) ughh, we were just spoiled (though rightfully so, payroll went up, [though the Sox were one of the teams that prices went up the least ]etc). BUT IT'S NOT EASY. The same way you criticize the team for just 'showing up' and expecting it to be handed it to them, I criticize you for expecting it to be that easy. Teams get better, there is competition, other teams are allowed to be better. Players don't set out to lose, though effort can be controlled, you somehow think it can be measured by the stats or results, it can't. You thought they gave up last year during this time as well, and then in a snap of a finger it was a love fest. YOU'RE MAKING IT OUT TO BE TOO EASY THEN IT REALLY IS. You don't just say 'uhhhh, we'll try now'. The #1 thing in this game, country, world, etc is Money. Believe all you want, it's about the money, they all want to do well and cash in, to think otherwise is absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 19, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) Rock, what should I cheer for on Sunday? the team you love. Its frustrating to have a dissapointing season, especially when we should have played better than we did. But thats baseball. Its why its the greatest game in the land. When this season is over, we can look forward to next year, and another possible run at it. We have a great core, great management, and a franchise that looks to be dedicated to winning for once. This is not the time to turn your back on your team, nor to act like a spoiled little baby who needs to pout about something that didnt go your way. These reactions are why it was so easy for me to get season tickets when I did, and why I was always one of the only people who went to every game. Why my section was half empty for several years, and yet at the beginning of every season there was always hope. If you all want to act like babies and cry and whine about how our team just couldnt win enough games, then so be it. I love this team, my life revolved around the White Sox, and I wouldnt be the same without the experiences that I have had with this team. When this season ends, I will be dissapointed, but we cant win the WS every year. Next year is a new year, filled with new hope, and a new schedule, and the Sox will be right back in it. And I will be in my seat as always, cheering for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Jermaine Dye deserves a standing ovation before his last AB...Scott Podsednik deserves a standing ovation also before his last AB.

Agreed, that's exactly where this team sits, somewhere between a boo and a standing O. Maybe a slow clap. Either way, they've atleast been in it since day 1, atleast we had a reason to pay attention.
