I agree with you. Crede deserves a standing "O" when he plays in Chitown

My guess is ovation when his name comes up in the pre-game lineup announcement, standing O for his first at-bat, then back to being a Twin for him after that.

There is no way fans will boo Joe. If they do I would be ashamed.

After the first at-bat I think all bets are off.

If not then, definitely after the first game or if he gets a big hit to win a game for them.

Comes to bat, standing O.

 

Swings at first Contreras forkball...wrenches back...out for season.

 

(I really don't wish that on him, for the record)

I have no problem with players getting booed if they deserve it, but Crede deserves nothing but a standing O in his first AB

Standing O that first at bat. After that, he's a Twin and will be treated accordingly.

I would give Crede polite applause. He was a key factor in the '05 playoff run, but he doesn't rate, imho, the standing O Ventura got when he can back the first time. Robin got screwed over by the Sox and I think the fans wanted him to know that they knew.

 

Don't get me wrong, I was always a Crede fan. In fact, I was one of his most ardent defenders here. But, the sucking vortex we had a 3b between Robin and Joe may have contributed to that.

 

Standing O...He was a MAJOR part of why we have a 2005 World Title. NO PLAYER on that team would ever be booed by me...they gave me the greatest sporting year of my LIFE...they ECLIPSED Super Bowl 20...for those boys, TO INCLUDE Joe Crede, I am forever thankful to them. I wont ever forget it and ill be damned if Id boo anyone who was part of that 2005 team.

I agree he was a major part of that team. I have stated that through the stretch, playoffs and the series he was the MV (position) P. The pitching staff won that for us, but Crede sure as hell came up huge.

I also think he'll get a standing O in the first at bat. Crede was very loved here and the way he left was nothing like that of Magglio or something. Yeah, he signed with a rival and it seemed like him and KW/Ozzie were always on a different page about who was offering contracts and what not... but he's a big part of Sox history.

 

It's like at soxfest when that one guy was thanking KW for getting rid of him and everyone just started booing.

Cheer him for his first at-bat.

 

Boo him if he does well after that first at-bat.

No, I won't ever boo Joe Crede unless he does something like kill somebody.

I will be there, givng him a standing o. thanks for the memories joe!

Lets not be like Indian fans with Thome, that was embarrassing

Well said!

Hits a 9th inning HR to knock the Sox out of the playoffs?

That would kill me.

I'd give him the standing ovation his first at bat. Then nothing, really.

 

But I don't generally boo players unless they conduct themselves like assholes towards the fans or the game. I didn't boo Wise, even though he was terrible yesterday.

 

 

Joe will get a nice tribute from the crowd, I have no doubt about that.

But, but, but .... he's a damn Twinkie now!

Well, when Big Frank came back as an A, he got a standing O. Then he hit a homer, and got another standing O.

 

When he hit his second one of the game, though, we booed him. He was probably laughing when we did; we were.

 

We owe Crede damn near EVERYTHING for what he did in '05; I expect him to get similar classy treatment here. I never want to see us act like Cleveland fans did towards Thome.

Obviously Crede deserves a ton of credit for '05, but Frank is the greatest offensive player in franchise history, IMO Frank is on a different level than Joe... with that said, Crede still deserves a ton of applause his first AB, then it can pipe down. Also, Crede is with one of our main rivals.

I love Joe Crede... but it's not like he wanted to still be here. Weve made many many suggestions and instructions to him on how to re-hab, he ignored it all and kept listening to that ass Boras. It's too bad his agent totally screwed up his payday and his career, cuase he probably should be raking by now. Crede kept beliveing Boras that the Sox were out against him, and now he sits having to completely re-prove himself as a reliable ballplayer. I wil never forget the fond memories that Joe gave me/us in our 05 run, I will never forget on how we basically had to re-tool his swing every damn year as well. He was a joy to watch defensively, despite last year, but in all honesty, he's a Twin now and I could care less that he's gone. We'll probbaly be better off, and Joe got what he wanted. Good for him, but I refuse to root for any Twin.
