It was surreal. I felt like I was watching a Raiders game. But it was cool in the sense that it was something new and unique to this season. I got the sense that Sox fans had stopped mentally clinging to 2005 and had forged a new identity with the current team.
I agree, I mean its by no means a new idea (Heat, Jazz) but it just really gave people something to focus on in getting revved up for the game. It looked like there were like hoards of locusts swarming throughout the stands when everyone was waving their black towels... very very cool
I would disagree that it should be an every game event, I think it keeps it special if we do it when were in a big game and can get the crowd going EARLY to give us an extra advantage.
