Could you have ever imagined after being at the game last night that someone would blame the crowd for a loss?  It might not have been at the same level as the Red Sox games, but it was still one of the loudest crowds I've ever been around.  It simply baffles me that someone would blame the crowd.

The atmosphere was dead during our ingame atbats the first 3 innings. Of course swinging at shiftingdickpaulbyrdwhonearlyshatinyankeestadium first pitches and mowing down the sox in less than time it takes a davidfatasswellstoeatachicagostylepizza didnt help the crowd just sit there like sittingduckswithpartyhatsuptheirbutts.

Looooooootta brand new, crispy Sox caps at the game last night, just an observation.

My theory on why the crowd was so dead--I was at the Boston series last week and they were ON FIRE--is HELLO: WELCOME TO THE GAMES POPULATED BY ALL THE BANDWAGON JUMPERS. Reminds me of the Bulls' series back in the Jordan days when the announcers would comment on how quiet the crowd was.

 

That's because they're all the rich people who scalped tix and probably never went to more than a couple of regular season games. They're there to be entertained.

 

Geez. One home run was all it took to shut everybody up. I guess that's one downside when you've got everybody and their cousin now at a Sox game--they give up too easily.

 

The crowd--at least on TV--was virtually silent from the one Sox rally until the final innings when they threatened.

 

I hope they're a little more like last week tonight.

This game was the loudest i was at. When Chone Figgins bobbled Carl's squib liner, it went nuts. The only thing that even comes close was when Crede hit the Walkoff Homer against the Indians in the 10th a few weeks ago. Did seem like the Upper Deck was filled with the hardcore fans while the lower bowl was much more reserved

exactly my points

 

1. it is always better to have 15,000 hardcore fans near the rails

2. dont invite your freakin wife or girl; bad behavior in front of her = no rumpty

3. no kids please; they will get their turns

4. must have bags under your eyes and sport worn out gear

5. unlimited beer money

6. batteries in hand

7. ABSOLUTELY NO CORPORATE ATTENDEES PLEASE

8. MOST IMPORTANT: MUST CARRY A RADIO TO LISTEN TO HOME SIDE

9. STAND UP IDIOTS! IT HASNT HAPPENED IN 88 year?

10. the organ needs to be rockin like old comisky!

I was at the game and screaming my butt off. Lots of chants, and the crowd was into it except for innings 2 and 3 but when the sox started scoring it was very, very loud. Don't know why people are ripping on the crowd. I guess fox's broadcast was bad.

I watched the game on TV and thought the crowd was really into every pitch in the 1st inning, roaring with Jose's strikeout of Figgins to start the game. Anderson's homer really quieted the crowd though. Someone mentioned the crowds at Bulls games back in the Jordan days, i.e., the "sweater people". From the crowd shots that I noticed there certainly were some of those types, they're easy to spot. But, I'm sure that there were still plenty of good Sox fans making plenty of noise.

Here's to a better Game 2......

One last thing about last night...

They kept showing highlights of the Boston series, which was fine before the game. But once the game started and especially as it got into the late innings and were looking like s***, it started to piss me off. That series is over, let's move on, we look like s*** so far in THIS series.

This game from the get go seemed much much quieter than the games against Boston. It's not the Fox volume because there was times when our crowd actually got loud. Like I said in another thread, it seemed like the White Sox had to do something first before they got cheered as opposed to last week when the fans were urging them on to get that base hit or turn that DP.

Well I hope those people at the game don't think it's an easy ride just because we swept Boston. I know all of us would cheer ALL game long.
