I meant we might not be as talented as the 2000 bunch, but we might have a shot at winning a playoff series.

I love that Hawk says he was worried about this 14 inning game for the Sox because after that series they had 3 against Cleveland and 4 against New York on the road....I think we know how that turned out Hawk

sox win!

Greatest road trip ever. We went 7-0 i believe

LOL! I'll never forget that one. I was supposed to fly into Toledo the night of the 3rd Cleveland game but all flights were cancelled due to rain so I drove (I left O'Hare at about 12 midnight and arrived at about 5 their time...damn tired too).

 

I had my Sox sweat shirt on and had to walk over to a table full of Cleveland fans to find out if my boss had come in yet (keep in mind I am a 5'4 woman and these were all large men - working on the machines they do, they have to be big guys). Um, I can't remember the last time I got dirty looks like those. lmao

this was the game that "the Milkman delivers" thing really took hold - wait til the 14th and you'll see

oh my God, this one game I went to a game and there was this crazy woman that would scream something before each at bat, like

 

"The milk man delivers"

or

"Come on Konerko, Kah-nock one out!"

and her favorite

"A walk's as good as a hit!"

 

I don't suppose you know that woman...

Greatest road trip ever. We went 7-0 i believe

7-0 against NY and Cleveland (greatest week of my life) and then came home and went 4-3 against the same - that is when the world took notice of the Sox -

 

one of JM's greatest managerial feat was we won Friday as we all just saw and then won saturday and on Sunday JM did not pull out all stops, he rested some players (especially relievers) and we lost the Sunday game to the cubs. Some folks were unhappy. However that day of rest was pivotal in our going 11-3 in 14 straight days of games with the Tribe and Yankees (actually 13-4 in 17 straight days of games with tribe NY and cubs).

you know, I suspect I might!

 

did she have a stuffed animal covered with Sox pins?

I think so, yeah. I can't remember too well what she looks like, except I thought she was pretty short and had absolute leatherlungs. She might have been latino, but I could be wrong about that.

Ah, the 2000 roadtrip. I remember it well because I was staying at my grandma's house in Northern Michigan because my parents were in Italy. We stayed there 10 days, the week roadtrip and then the next series. I would try to watch the games on WGN, but my grandma would yell at me because she hated sports. So the only part of the entire roadtrip I saw was when the Sox came home and the standing ovation tradition started. What a great feeling that was, but then my grandma saw I was watching baseball and switched the channel back to CNN.

Ever since then I have to be in my seat for the Home Run of the Century so I can stand and applaud - saluting the current Sox and what a memory rush -

 

Not many people do it anymore and I wish they would

I know, not too many people do it at all anymore. Maybe it will start again now that we got Garcia, especially if we have a good roadtrip.

This may have been an awesome game but my fav crosstown memory is '99 when we swept the Flubbs then their season went to s*** and they ended up 30 or so games under 500. That was the ultimate b****slap.

Any series where both Mark Johnson and Mike Caruso hit homeruns is memorable to me. 1999

they were coming off their playoffs in 98 - we won those 3 at Wrigley as you say - destroyed their season they never recovered - and was so unexpected for us - the first inkling of what the 2000 team had the potential to be

 

- I went to the nexrt game, the following Monday against Tampa Bay and I thought the place would be packed with thrilled Sox fans but it was the usual 12,000 crowd -

 

I got four tickets for the Friday game at our place and a tradition was born with my friends - that Friday night game at our place in 99 was so tense - without looking it up I think it was 3-2 in the 5th and then the tension of would we keep them from scoring was just incredible - we won -

 

I got tickets for the Sunday night game even though it was sold out by my using the "i'm just a country boy from rural Michigan and it would mean so much, do you please have just two tickets for anywhere" routine which was great because the guys in line in front of me were loud, arrogant, oh come on you gotta have something obnoxious to the ticket guy and they got turned away with nothing - that was the game Baldwin lost to the 2-12 Traschel and if I recall correctly that was the only game we lost to the cubs in 1999 and I never liked JB much after that
