QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) At the risk of sounding like an old-timer, the Southside Hitmen and singing with Nancy are some of my best memories. Na-Na gets me every time. It is currently on rotation at my local oldies station and I have to turn it up every time it is played. It never gets old. Roof Shots. When Nancy retires, I believe it will be a sadder day then when any player hung it up. If the team pushes her out, it will be the biggest backlash ever. Nancy has been a White Sox longer than anyone has as far as I am concerned. It will be like the old ballpark closing when she leaves.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:28 AM) I think they don't play it much anymore because they've gone more in the direction of pre-recorded music - which IMO sucks. QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) They try to "can" the whole experience. Scoreboard led cheers, applause-o-meters, they try to choreograph the whole thing. There's still something to said for for Nancy on the organ and the fans just picking up on something and running with it. I agree with both of you totally. The thing is I think Sox fans feed off of Nancy more than the do the prerecorded crap. There is nothing that is more Comiskey than singing Steam at the top of your lungs after a go ahead homer.

It doesn't matter for me. I do 99% of my drinking at the tailgate before the game. I can't convince myself to spend for 1 beer what I could buy a six pack for outside of the park.

The only "wave" that should be done at USCF is to get the attention of the beerman.

There will be no AAA for JB, with those numbers someone will trade for him.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) I never really got it. I thought it looked silly seeing socks being waved. I always thought the White Sox thing was "Nah-Nah..Hey Hey Goodbye" when we started rallying. When Nancy pounds out the first few chords after we've pounded a pitcher...it still gives me chills. Do we need socks, too? Maybe I'm being silly. I have said for years that "Na-Na" doesn't get played nearly enough. It should be played tons after HRs and pitching changes. If we want to make it a homefield advantage, these are things we should go back to. Be loud and proud!

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) I always get something to drink for the souvenir cup too. I still use my first one from '94. Me too. I have hundreds of them, that my wife keeps trying to get rid of The Brats are the best, but the Connies pizza is solid as well.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 06:46 PM) Da Sox, There is old saying... If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Glad you had a great time SS! Post more!!! Always great to hear fun times at the ole ballpark. You want me to post more? I'm only one man!! (well one man and 16 computer automated response programs) In all seriousness, glad you had a great time at the game. The renovations to the park make it one of the best parks in all of baseball.

The DOWNSIDE of being 12 games up??? Are you kidding me??? THIS IS THE BEST TEAM THE SOUTHSIDE HAS EVER SEEN AT THIS STAGE OF A SEASON. THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE!!!! Quit waiting for the skies to fall and enjoy it!!! What is wrong with people? The Chicago White Sox have been in exsistance for 105 years and have NEVER been better, and people are perpetually stress about what is WRONG with this team. You are missing the boat on this one. :headshake

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 02:23 PM) Also yesterday some kids were standing in the concourse with thier brand new shiny hats and jerseys and proceeded to ask my girl what she was doing with me...... It makes me think of the days when it really was only true fans that were at the Comiskey.... Sorry, she was hot.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) I guess so. I'm out then

When we get a date, you all will be the 2nd to know... For now, just prelimary interest based on a probable week night patio party with WSI is all that's needed. No firm commitment is needed as of now.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) The Sox website says: U.S. Cellular Field Capacity – 40,615 I thought it was around 38,000 since they cut the upper deck off, but... They were at 39,600 I believe for the Cub games, so I would say just under 40,000 seats is about right.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) It drives me up the wall! I usually sit through the entire game without going anywhere that isn't my seat. And I hate missing the game. I definitely think there should be some kind of thing that the ushers won't let you go down the aisle during an at bat. Definitely common courtesy. I am the exact sameway. I hate leaving my seat during a game. If I do, I hustle up to the bathroom and get back ASAP.

Brooks Boyer recently emailed both Soxtalk and WSI to see if there would be interest in doing some sort of a joint Patio Party and/or group game together. We kinda kicked around the idea between the admins and mods, and it seems to be something that could be fun. We don't have details yet, as we are in the early stages of talking about this, but I wanted to check with you all and see just a guess how many people might be interested in something like this. Now just off the top of my head I am going to guess it will probably be a week night game, as ticket sales for the rest of the year have been really high, and that might be the only thing left. I don't know that for sure, but just a guess there. That being said, who would be interested???

Hannah Storm would have to be the announcer for the game.
