Chisoxrd5 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I am proud to say I left the game when it was 9-2. I got home on time to see Houston score the go ahead run in the 13th inning after a debacle ensued. Comments are appreciated. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I left early, but not because of the massive beating we were getting. Friend got sick. Although, I'll admit that I didn't put up much of a fight...Javy frustrated the hell out of me tonight. Â Won't say I'm proud of it though. Actually, when Gooch hit the slam, my first reaction was amazement, and shortly followed by embarrassment with my early departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I was watching ESPN from my easy chair and I have to tell you I never gave up hope. It looked bleak, but I told my fanmate (my wife in this case) to remember when the Sox almost beat the Indians after trailing 10-2 in the 9th. The Sox don't give up and I think that's what is helping Sox fever to catch on. If Thome doesn't go 0-6 and Dye get shut out too imagine what we might have done. I can't even say the fact Dye was removed for Gload did us in. Gload gave it his all going for that pop up triple in the 13th. The Astros got a break which we saw several times that game while the Sox line drives were at someone or caught at the wall.

santo=dorf Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I told my Dad I didn't want to leave before the 8th inning started, and as we were walking back to my family's place, I could hear the crowd, and then I got really pissed one I saw fireworks. Â HOpefully this will convince him for next time because if I was the one driving, we would've witnessed it. Â Someone else I know left with one out in the bottom of the 9th because his dad wanted to beat traffic. Â Stupid, stupid, stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiffalicious Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 My mom was ready to leave in the 7th when it was 9-1 and raining, but I said no. Even though they lost, I am glad we sat through the whole thing. It was probably the best game I have ever been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT I LEARNED MY LESSON! The only gave I've left early since then was a spring training game this year when all the regulars were out...it turns out Pablo hit a walkoff home run. Â I was there tonight and refused to leave when my sister and mom were b****ing in the 7th. Best game I've ever been to in person. After Iguchi's home run I was running up and down the stairs and hugging my friend who I met up with there.

Two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the White Sox hit a grand slam to tie it. 8 runs in the final 3 innings, 7 in the last two all off the bat of one guy. You my friend are in denial.

The Critic Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I know I'm in the minority here, but I almost always leave early and I have zero problem with it. I have my reasons (3:30 am wakeup for work during the week, have to leave early when I bring my kid, etc.), and I never feel like I "missed out" on anything. I enjoy the ballpark experience while I'm there, and I leave when I have to. I arrive "stupid early", as my friend puts it, so I can watch BP, have some food and chat with whoever comes to the game with me. I like the fact that so many people stuck around tonight, but chances are I wouldn't have been one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do what I can to stay the entire game, but if it is during the week, I really do need to leave by 10 as I generally have to drop someone off (mom, brother, etc) and need to be up by 5 (at the latest for work). Heck the only reason I am at home now is because I have an orthodontist appointment in about an hr. Joy! :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 So what if people left the game early. For the love of God, Ozzie gave up on the game. He took Crede and Dye out. I wasn't there but I'm sure many who left have bought season tickets for longer than some of their critics have been alive. Buying tickets when the team sucked. That's loyalty to me.
