cwsox Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Did someone really have to get on the PA during Pujols last 2 strikes and tell the crowd to make some noise? If that's true, that's pathetic. I am really pissed at this statement. Everyone was getting great crowd supprt - did his first at bat, his second when he tied the record the corwd was screaming for him to set it, and in the last round they were screaming for him to tie it so we could have sudden death - the idea that the crowd was quiet and needed to be told to cheer is pure absolute bulls*** and I am very unhappy I logged in here tonight since it ruins what was a perfect day at the Cell for me. Whatever was reported was utter lies from whoever said it. Ask Pujols what type of supprt he was getting - the polace was electric when he tied the record and the crowd was screaming for him to break it - ask Giambi who everyone was cheering on to tie Pujols - ask any of the 8 - everyone got great support for them to do well - Boone got a few good natured boos when he did so poorly, but everyone was pulling for every batter during their at bat, regardless of who it was, every batter had the crowd behind him. We as a crowd looked damn good tonight to everyone who was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASHWOUND Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 the crowd seemed dead to who? It was a very live crowd for those who were there, of which I was one. The crowd was into everything from long beofr batting practice on. I have no idea what you heard on tv but it was a beuatiful night with a lively crowd that was on top of everything was taking place. Maybe before judgment is given, remember what yiu see on tv may be far removed from reality. The crowd did get more into it during the HR derby and s***.. But I don't if it was the mics or what, but after the band finished playing it sounded dead quit..was I alone in noticing this? I was also looking into the crowd and nobody was clapping and when the lead singer said "thanyou" into the mike it sounded a bit sarcastic...like "Thanks for nothing" Maybe I'm hallucinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Jeez, after the Atari's performance ended there was dead silence....I know some my not be fans or whatever, but how bout a little courtesy applauds.. The lead singer said "Thank you" in the mike probably being sarcastic(I'm sure of it) It's very uncomfortable... The crowd doesn't seem into it..that's all that's because it was the Ataris. I would have been quiet too. Like I said in my first post..you don't or didn't have to like the band "The Atari's" Just a courtesy applause..key word there....courtesy they got decent applause - more than decent - wtf are people who weren't there talking about? Maybe the tv mics were not placed right - they got no ovation but they got more than decent appluase - give me a break - no matter what happens, fantasy is made up for use in bulls*** attacks on our fans in attendance. What you think you se on tv ain't necessarily anything to do with reality . I walked out of there tonight so jacked up for the ASG itself in part because of the lively and aware crowd tonight, and I come back to read this stuff - wtf people?

CubKilla Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Don't kill the messenger cw. I'm just telling you what was being said on Chicago Sports Radio. It wasn't just one caller either. I didn't see the HR Derby on ESPN since I was working, but I remember the ESPN commentators dual-cast on AM 1000 talking about how the crowd was "subdued" immediately before the Pujols "PA announcement" that I remarked about. You'd know better than me. You were there. I'm just relaying what was being reported to the fans at home and listening on the radio. That's all.

I started this thread right after the band's performance and I noticed it was quiet..that's all But I did notice the crowd sounded really jacked and loud for the HR derby so not complaining about that..I don't think anybody should complain for the crowd response during the HR derby It sounded great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 Am I the only one here who watched on tv AND thought that the crowd sounded into it? I'll admit that it sounded a little quiet in the beginning, until Giambi got it going at the end of the first round. But, from then on the crowd was on there feet and (loudly) cheering every batter. I can't speak for the Ataris performance, I wasn't really paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all. tonight I'll kill the messeenger as well as the fabricator of the message and live to regret it tomorrow. Just f***ing unbelivable that is being reported. Look at what people paid to see a home run derby. Damn it they wanted to see home runs and they were on top of each hit. When Pujols was swinging in the 2nd round the atmosphere was electric. People were on their feet for almost the entire derby and pulling for each batter so we could see more home runs. A the prices people paid, how could it be said or believed they were subdued. The cheers for the homers - especially Pujols - were matched only by the groans when he made an out since everyone wanted to see him break the record in the second round and tie Anderson in the third. Someone should call the reporters to account for their bulls***. I am for shooting the messenger tonight only bceause why believe that was true? Take the cost of each ticket, transportation, food, drinks, souvineers, all for a f***ing home run derby, damn believe the place was packed and on top of everything and loudly backing each player to hit home runs; it is what we paid to see - no one would pay that much money to sit on their hands.
