May 12, 200520 yr You're a diehard when you can watch the entire cbs sportline webcast of a sox game, complete with cheering and agony, while out of radio or television access
May 12, 200520 yr Author You know your a die-hard fan when you have a shrine to your team, with not 1, but 2, schedules, above your bed (ya, I'm that bad).
May 12, 200520 yr When your social/work obligations are scattered around your viewing of the white sox. When you watch every minute of every game you can. When you know every player on your team and probably most importantly: when you can talk baseball with someone.
May 12, 200520 yr Author When you mark wins/losses, record, and standings on the calendar oon your wall...
May 12, 200520 yr My mood from April to October is determined by this ballclub. The Sox take priority over a lot of things/people they shouldn't.
May 12, 200520 yr When you get fired from your job because you ditched work and went to a Sox game. When you get a detention from school for ditching and going to a Sox game. When you have over 3,000 posts on a message board devoted to the Sox.
May 12, 200520 yr ...when you sit at work, ignore deadlines and let work pile up on your desk on a busy day...simply because you spent the entire afternoon watching the gamecast. Which reminds me, I've got a s***load of work to do tomorrow. Damn day games! No wonder Cub fans are all out of work.
May 12, 200520 yr .... when you are 47 years old, can't remember the Sox being in a world series and still are an active and avid fan.
May 12, 200520 yr When you have scheduled a stop on your honeymoon around baseball. When you have your vacations around the Sox, and if not included stops on your vacations around the Sox. When even Cub fans come to you to ask for information on their team When you go out to eat, and you plan it around places that will have the Sox on TV. When you can still name the starting line up from the first team you remember as a little kid, including their batting order. When you name your pets after Sox players. No event is too important not to sneak out of to see if the Sox were winning, including your own wedding reception. It makes you mad to see fellow Sox fans not enjoying a special team. I know there are more from me.... I'll probably post more later.
May 12, 200520 yr When you just watch one or two game/year by TV... Watch highlights in the internet or Sportscenter... And you still root for the team...

Pffttt... a REAL Diehard would be sure to schedule their wedding on a day of a day game that will be over by the time the wedding starts.
May 12, 200520 yr You know your a die hard fan when everyday yer in a fight with about 5 sox fans against 10 cub fans
May 12, 200520 yr You know you're a die hard when the Sox are playing on the west coast, it's a tie game in like the 4th inning, it's around 10:00 PM Chicago time and the wife calls your name from the bedroom in 'that sexy voice' . Suddenly you have a really sore back and would "rather just relax".........for 4 nights/games in a row. That's a die hard...........no pun intended.
May 12, 200520 yr Your a diehard fan when you're a season ticket holder that has their entire day f***ed up with a loss, not to mention-can't sleep after an L <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey, I know a guy like that!!!!!!!!!!!
May 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(JimH @ May 12, 2005 -> 09:36 AM) Hey, I know a guy like that!!!!!!!!!!! Heck even if they win sometimes...
May 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ May 11, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) When friends assign "baseball/White Sox free" times where you aren't allowed to mention anything related to the Sox/baseball at all--and you can't think of anything to say during those times.... Glad to know I'm not the only one that happens to

May 12, 200520 yr When you are faced with an important high school exam the next morning, but you stay awake until 1:30 AM with a transistor radio under your pillow in hopes of hearing Bill Melton hit a 4th homer during a west coast game. And, oh yea ... to YASNY and southsider2k5 - I've got a siamese cat named Mikita.

May 12, 200520 yr I've got a siamese cat named Mikita. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can he split the defencemen and slip in a nifty backhander on Rogie Vahon?
May 12, 200520 yr I'm a diehard Sox fan, but my best comparison is with the Cyclones. When the football team goes 0-10-1 in 1997, and you were so f***ing pumped after that tie.....
May 12, 200520 yr On my honeymoon, getting ready to go out for the evening, I tell my wife: "Hang on a sec, baby.....Frank's up!" Then after a 3-run jack to dead center: "okay....NOW we can go!!" I luuuuuv that story...... #35!!!!!
May 12, 200520 yr QUOTE(T R U @ May 11, 2005 -> 02:40 PM) I cried at the end of Terminator 2 I suppose sports would be a different thing, I dunno Me too... only I cried for Arnold. I was bawling and said "He's not going to make any more movies?" I haven't thought of that for awhile.... P.S. It was when it first came out on video and I was fairly young.
May 12, 200520 yr Supporting the team when they lose(even though you hate it). Watching every game on MLBTV because I moved to Costa Rica. Having it written in your contract if the Sox make the Playoffs you can fly to Chitown to see our boys play!
