whitesoxfan101 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) It went from looking like a game out after the most frusterating loss of the year, to a game up after the most exhilerating win of the season in about 15 minutes. Baseball is a great game. Edited August 6, 2008 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rishard101 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 wow if you think about it we should probably have about only 4 wins in the last two weeks, but hey let the miracles keep coming until this team gets its groove back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 11:55 PM) After watching the last two Twins games, and tonights Sox game, ANYONE who says home field isn't a huge deal is a moron, plain and simple. there are only like 2-3 teams that are above .500 on the road (with the Angels being f***ing ridiculous). I don't care who is the road team, they almost certainly haven't been a good team on the road this season, and thus you really aren't facing a good team. That's what's always gotten to me about this and anybody who says "the SoS and Home/Road even each other out" because I really don't see that as true and there are facts that back that up. You may be facing a talented team, but they aren't necessarily good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 12:30 AM) Now I was told in the gamethread that this team was not only pathetic, but that clearly being at home doesn't make a difference. Tell that to the Twins. Well being at home, as we saw tonight, isn't going to fix our pitching. However, it can fix the damn offense even more than it has already been good, and we'll win a few like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxbrian Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Wow, hands down the best game I've ever been at besides game 2 of the ALCS in 2005. Never have I been more excited, anxious, happy, and frustrated in one game besides game 2. What a game for MVQ, Lexi, and then obviously Swisher. Paulie had that 2 run HR as well. Great job by the bullpen- what, 10 innings and only 2 runs? MARINERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chi Town Sox Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 My favorite part of being at the game (other than the homer) was the 14th inning stretch where we sang take me out to the ballgame about 3 hours after we already had sang it prior to hahahaah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I have to say this was impressive considering how the game started out. Glad they didn't give up. Personally, I thought it was over but glad I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABearSoX Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 6, 2008 -> 06:01 AM) To all the people that went to bed...well, Sox win, you lose. I didn't goto sleep but I was checking the score every 5 minutes on the bottom line. When I saw the Tigs go up 8-6 I think I swtiched it to Fresh Prince to be done with it. But being a Sox fan I had to go back and check the final just so I could sleep at night, and I just about made a doodey in my pantaloons.
