I foresee a standing O, and rightfull so! I agree with you. Crede deserves a standing "O" when he plays in Chitown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 My guess is ovation when his name comes up in the pre-game lineup announcement, standing O for his first at-bat, then back to being a Twin for him after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 There is no way fans will boo Joe. If they do I would be ashamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first at-bat I think all bets are off. If not then, definitely after the first game or if he gets a big hit to win a game for them.

CanOfCorn Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Comes to bat, standing O. Swings at first Contreras forkball...wrenches back...out for season. (I really don't wish that on him, for the record) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have no problem with players getting booed if they deserve it, but Crede deserves nothing but a standing O in his first AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Standing O that first at bat. After that, he's a Twin and will be treated accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I would give Crede polite applause. He was a key factor in the '05 playoff run, but he doesn't rate, imho, the standing O Ventura got when he can back the first time. Robin got screwed over by the Sox and I think the fans wanted him to know that they knew. Don't get me wrong, I was always a Crede fan. In fact, I was one of his most ardent defenders here. But, the sucking vortex we had a 3b between Robin and Joe may have contributed to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Standing O...He was a MAJOR part of why we have a 2005 World Title. NO PLAYER on that team would ever be booed by me...they gave me the greatest sporting year of my LIFE...they ECLIPSED Super Bowl 20...for those boys, TO INCLUDE Joe Crede, I am forever thankful to them. I wont ever forget it and ill be damned if Id boo anyone who was part of that 2005 team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stated that through the stretch, playoffs and the series he was the MV (position) P. The pitching staff won that for us, but Crede sure as hell came up huge.

2OutRally Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I also think he'll get a standing O in the first at bat. Crede was very loved here and the way he left was nothing like that of Magglio or something. Yeah, he signed with a rival and it seemed like him and KW/Ozzie were always on a different page about who was offering contracts and what not... but he's a big part of Sox history. It's like at soxfest when that one guy was thanking KW for getting rid of him and everyone just started booing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'd give him the standing ovation his first at bat. Then nothing, really. But I don't generally boo players unless they conduct themselves like assholes towards the fans or the game. I didn't boo Wise, even though he was terrible yesterday.

LVSoxFan Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well, when Big Frank came back as an A, he got a standing O. Then he hit a homer, and got another standing O. When he hit his second one of the game, though, we booed him. He was probably laughing when we did; we were. We owe Crede damn near EVERYTHING for what he did in '05; I expect him to get similar classy treatment here. I never want to see us act like Cleveland fans did towards Thome.

Obviously Crede deserves a ton of credit for '05, but Frank is the greatest offensive player in franchise history, IMO Frank is on a different level than Joe... with that said, Crede still deserves a ton of applause his first AB, then it can pipe down. Also, Crede is with one of our main rivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchtower41 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I love Joe Crede... but it's not like he wanted to still be here. Weve made many many suggestions and instructions to him on how to re-hab, he ignored it all and kept listening to that ass Boras. It's too bad his agent totally screwed up his payday and his career, cuase he probably should be raking by now. Crede kept beliveing Boras that the Sox were out against him, and now he sits having to completely re-prove himself as a reliable ballplayer. I wil never forget the fond memories that Joe gave me/us in our 05 run, I will never forget on how we basically had to re-tool his swing every damn year as well. He was a joy to watch defensively, despite last year, but in all honesty, he's a Twin now and I could care less that he's gone. We'll probbaly be better off, and Joe got what he wanted. Good for him, but I refuse to root for any Twin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
