justBLAZE Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Great game, kind of sad we have to watch reruns of previous success. Sox need to get back to postseason ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord chas Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The atmosphere at that game was incredible. I miss playoff baseball on the South Side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I still got my ticket and parking stub. And I captured pictures of Thome as he connected on his monster HR. I happen to be sitting in our usual skybox seats that night. Great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claydude14 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 If anyone DOES have a DVD burner, or the capability to DVR it and upload it, I'd reward you handsomely since I live on the east coast and have no way of making a copy myself.

Brian Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 05:54 AM) If anyone DOES have a DVD burner, or the capability to DVR it and upload it, I'd reward you handsomely since I live on the east coast and have no way of making a copy myself. I remember trying to record it via CD burner but forgot to change the recording speed and it stopped after around 2 hours without me noticing.

Dunt Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Still get goosebumps when I think about this game. That place was electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 All I remember was hating Nick Blackburn and having no idea why they could never hit him. Thome absolutely destroyed that ball. Well, I remember a lot more, but I still hated Nick Blackburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I got tickets through a work connection and sat in the front row right next to the tarp on the 3rd base line. This is one of the most fun games I have ever been too. I even got sprayed with champagne by Uribe and Dye at different points after the game.

flavum Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 09:52 AM) This is the only game I ever attended solo. Had a blast. I bought one ticket in LF. I met a friend and his wife and sat with them before the game in section 139 (roughly) with the intention of moving once the people that had those seats showed up. Nobody showed up, and I had a fantastic view for that play at the plate and Thome's bomb. Best atmosphere for a game ever- before and during the game.

Being in the skybox in 08, it was kind of hard to enjoy the post-game celebration, but I remember walking down the ramps after the ALDS Game 2 win over the Red Sox in '05 and that entire ramp down just insanely loud and shaking with everyone chanting "LETS GO WHITE SOX!". It was very surreal. Edited October 23, 2014 by Chilihead90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I was in the port-a-jon having a smoke when Griffey made his play. Also Anderson made that catch look much harder than it really was. The game the day before was a better game sadly nobody was there to see it.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 11:36 AM) I had trouble enjoying the celebration for different reasons. My view was great but Nick Swisher, who celebrated more than anyone else, clouded it. The way he was celebrating you would have never guessed that he batted .219 and and got replaced by DeWayne Wise down the stretch. You mean this cool guy? I did actually take a couple nicely timed pictures. Wish I had a better camera than my point-and-shoot though. Griffey throwing out Cuddyer at home. 3-shot sequence of Thome hitting his monster HR And the celebration Ahhh, the memories.

Did you want him to sulk and be down after his team just clinched the division because he had a poor year? Now that'd be selfish.

Now that'd be selfish. I think he meant that Swisher took lead on the celebration and was the ring leader, when he deserved very little credit and wasn't a part of that previous year of futility.
