June 17, 200421 yr New ad campaign reawakens 'Sox Pride' Are you guys picking up on this feeling at the Cell?
June 17, 200421 yr This saids it all for me Steve Zalusky is a news reporter, not a sports reporter, who does not throw back home run balls hit by the visiting club.
June 17, 200421 yr Yup. Something's changing. It's very subtle, yet I think anybody who went to the park last week understands and has sensed it.
June 17, 200421 yr For what it's worth: I work at a White Hen, and we get this beef jerky product, and it either comes in a Sox BUcket or a Cubs bucket. The owner gives away the buckets to a list of people after all the jerky is sold. No one has requested any Cubs buckets, while there's a list of 5 people waiting for Sox buckets. I can feel the change, too!
June 17, 200421 yr I mean, I don't think we had this feeling even in 2000. I think it has a lot to do with Ozzie. This team lost a lot of attendance due to the White Flag trade and has been hurting ever since. I think Ozzie is helping bring back the feelings of 93/94... I'm also curious. Was much made of the Pepsi commercial with Sammy and the Sox Fan?
June 17, 200421 yr I agree w/ the artile definitely. Look in the papers, on the news, the sox are not always behind the cubs. The sox are finally making a name for themselves in this town. A good combination of a lot of people and a lot of wins are transforming this town.
June 17, 200421 yr Yup. Something's changing. It's very subtle, yet I think anybody who went to the park last week understands and has sensed it. There is a lot more energy there now than there was even a couple of weeks ago. It's starting to feel like 2000 again and I couldn't be happier about it.
June 18, 200421 yr I like the White Hen/beef jerky market research slant. What part of town are you in?
June 18, 200421 yr Author It's good to hear the excitement level in the Cell and the city seemd to be mounting. I hope the team can play well enough to keep it building and that KW makes other moves that just add to it.
June 23, 200421 yr Author Rozner printed my email on June 22, but he didn't include the Soxtalk plug. I tried. North vs. South II From e-mailer YASNY, responding to an e-mailer who said Cubs fans ask questions about the Cubs game, while Sox fans ask if the Cubs won rather than questions about the Sox: "A Sox fan doesn't ask those questions because he already knows the answers. A Cubs fan will ask those questions as he is stumbling out of Wrigley Field.'' EDIT: Oops. I bumped the wrong thread with this. But. I'll let it stand here. You all get the point, regardless.
