SnB Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 The ovation during the intros. The huge noise made for big frank. The excitment during the intro video/thunderstruck. Hanging on every pitch in the 1st inning w/ renteria on 2nd. Standing up with 2 strikes on ortiz. The silence during the confrontation of clement/pods on the basepaths in the 1st. The mosh pit it became soon after. The best experience i've ever had at a sox game: the loudest and clearest singing of NA NA NA NA for matt clement's exit today. The 4 different curtain calls, all deserving. I was so proud of sox fans today and it made for the best sox game i've ever been to.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 But I thought the Sox couldn't perform in front of big crowds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Osuna Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 When Frank came out to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, Gene Honda was literally drowned out by the cheering. I did not hear a single word he said. This is the first time I have heard such a thing happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Good stuff Steve and looks like you guys had some solid seats (nice pictures from the game too). You guys are going back tomorrow right? Hopefully you bring the same kind of luck back to the park tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, however am wearing the same exact thing that I wore today to the game for superstitious reasons(including my aj jersey) but I can't find one of my socks that I wore today.

DBAHO Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Amazing noise from the crowd, and it's definitely gonna make a difference thru the playoffs, especially since we have Home Field Advantage. Nice pics there Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the best sports atmosphere I have been involved with. The energy definitely helped the club today and who says we can't play in front of big crowds? They have so much confidence and are not playing like a typical Chicago baseball team in the playoffs. Which is good... Keep it up boys!!!!

I'm heading back up tomorrow between 1-2pm. Yeah, our seats were real solid today, great view of the whole place. Also, i temporarily lost my sunglasses during the mosh pit after A.J's homer. What an electric atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I heard that it wasn't a sellout, and that's why we won. Cleveland sold out 6 games this season. They played the White Sox in 4 of those games. -- The White Sox were 4-0 in Jacobs Field sellouts.unrelated, but worth mentioning> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 That's awesome the crowd was so into it. We really need to win Game Two. If we go to Boston 1-1 they could wrap it up there. Our boys need to gut out a win vs. Wells. Let's hope Mark B. is on. Jose set the table today; keep it going, White Sox and those loud fans!

joeynach Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I was there with my dad too, we were in the UD and had a blast. My dad is 55 and this the first time hes been to a basball postseason game since he was 8. He said he forgot how awsome the playoffs are. The place was rocken all over, the never ending chants, the fans confidence in the awsome Jose. It was great. Watching the game it looked the sox were the big game players. They seemed calm, patient, and confident out there with the crowd on their feet for nearly every pitch, the red sox did not. Today absolutly rocked, and it was the start of a new year for all my jewish bretheren! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLsouthsider Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I was at work and we had the game on the TV. When Francona yanked Clement, I leaned over to the guy next to me, and he made a remark about the crowd going nuts. I told him, no, no, no, wait, they're gonna serenade him now. Sox fans sure didn't let me down. I Tivo'd the game at home and listened to those three seconds about a hundred times. That joint was about to freaking explode. Here's hoping the juice gets turned up a notch tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjm676 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 ''I told somebody on the bench I felt good about that curtain call; I felt great,'' said Konerko, who then hit the sarcasm button. ''Then seven [actually, five] curtain calls later, it wasn't so special. They were handing them out all day.'' I counted 5: -AJ's 1st HR -Konerko -Uribe -Pods HR -Contreras Give it up Sox Fans!!

Nancy stopped playing during the "hey hey hey, goodbye" part, just to let the crowd do its thing. I loved it. Yesterday's game was by far the most exciting and fulfilling fan experience I've ever had. Does anyone have a sound file or video of the Clement exit? That moment was surreal... it couldn't have been better if it had been rehearsed for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
