witesoxfan Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 But at the start of the bottom of the 8th, I invisioned Willie Harris getting on base alone with 2 outs and the score still obviously tied, and Aaron Rowand coming up and being a hero. I kind of saw it coming. And I knew we were going to win the game too. I didn't think Carlos was going to win it when he came up, and I didn't think Jose was going to win it when he came up. And tomorrow, I see the Sox taking the 3rd game, sweeping the series, and taking a s***load of momentum into the Twinkie series. You wanna talk about a pick-me-up win for the Sox.....Colon pitches like s***, and the bullpen comes in and shuts the door. How f***ing sweet is that?

whitesox247 Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 And I predicted Big Hurts homer in game one. Check the gamethread if you dont believe me. But I certainly hope your "vision" about tomorrow is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sox can carry this magical play beyond the cubs, they have a real shot at this division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 And I knew we were going to win the game too. no one at the Cell questioned what was going to happen the entire 9th inning - everyone was on their feet - the scrubbie fans looking nervous and our fans just roaring - it was incredible - the only game simlar was the September 2000 game (Friday or Saturday before Labor Day as I recall) against Anaheim when we were down 8-3 in the 8th and won 9-8 - the crowd expected victory and almsot willed it to happen the best thing said about Sox fans today is hardly anyone left during the rain delay - even though we were trailing - the Cell was almost exactly as full when the game resumed as wehn it started - it was one of the best crowds in a long time, not just interms of size (I think 5th largest in history) but in spirit and attitude and support - it was great to be there and not have the negativity that sometimes gets on here - I never saw a crowd stay like that during a rain delay and I cannot describe the feeling when AR hit that homer - the upper deck was all on its feet for the entire 9th and it looked like the lower deck was too - just incredible atmosphere can't be described Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 2 full houses 2 days in a row and 9th inning victories - that is what we needed for people to be excited - we have too often stumbled when we had a full house in recent years but yesterday and today are what we needed - people were buzzing about going tomorrow - great to see people in such good spirits - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These type of wins often lead a team into a major roll..........see the year 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the 99 wins, but I'm talking more of them being a mediocre team in the first half and getting very hot in the second half and then taking the division.

That could be a huge lift for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I think some Chicagoans are actually becoming excited about the White Sox....strange as it may seem. I'll believe that when I see big crowds on FULL-PRICE nights against someone other than the Lovable Losers or the Spankees. It's been very exciting baseball against the L's, but I'll say it again - I want to see the same fire and energy against the AL Central rivals. THOSE are games that matter, certainly more than "bragging rights". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 This is great! Fans are starting to like the Sox! I think this series will boost attendance for the rest of the season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
