While "Sweet Caroline" is playing at Fenway Park, the Bruins win over Montreal in game 6 comes up on the scoreboard and the crowd erupts even more. 4/19/08 vs. Texas.
And that, my fellow New Englanders, is a glimpse of heaven - you're at a Sox game, singing Sweet Caroline, and you find out the B's spanked the Habs. Fuck yeah!
Heaven for me was being in attendance during Mario Lemieux's first game out of retirement and watching him gladly accept a great pass from Jagr to put the wrist shot home. Also, at 30 seconds of this clip ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g4k6X19X_tc.html Mario's six year old son Austin watches as his Hall of Fame father's number is brought down from the rafters. Chills.
Unlike any other cities in the world BOSTON will follow ALL their sports teams with unbelieveable passion no matter where they are. Great to hear the cheering of the Red Sox crowd for a Bruins victory over montreal. Imagine what the Garden crowd was like after the game.
God, this makes me miss home so much! :') I actually lived in Kenmore square for two years and could hear the crowd chanting Sweet Caroline and cheering during the games from my suite window. It was pretty awesome.
I'm a lifelong fan too. 4th generation. Brought up on the Sox. My Grandfather and his father were both ushers at Fenway. I can easily produce a couple tickets from 1960 that cost $5. Pink hats and silly/fun songs don't dictate a lack of dedication, history or game knowledge, they're just things. Silly and useless things I'll agree. I also think it is the recent winning records that drove ticket prices up and drew in bandwagon fans, and not a wacky fun random Neil Diamond song in the 7th.
I was at the game 6 game vs the Habs that night. Electric feeling. They couldn't pull it off in Montreal in game 7 but man that night was awesome. Hell of a game.
@Josh218512 Cheering for a team doesn't necessarily mean you have to watch every game. Any sports fan would cheer if they found out their home town team won an important game, wouldn't you agree? And most people wouldn't give up tickets to a red sox game just to stay home and watch the Bruins.
First off if i was a bruins fan living in Boston i wouldn't be at a fucking red sox game during a bruins play off game, i would be at a bar or at home or at a friends house watching the game...
Who the fuck would go to a beginning of the season Sox game over a game 6 playoff game between the B's and Habs? I am a Sox fan but I can almost never watch a full 9 inning game until playoff time, a regular season baseball game just can't hold my interest for 3 and1/2 hours
if this thing upsets you....yall really need to get lives other than the red sox. its just a fun lil thing. the war eagle at auburn only started flying before games in 2000 but it has quickly turned into one of the greatest traditions in all of sports. just because something is new and pisses off some crotchety ol timer who is still mad at buckner doesnt mean its bad. yall need to calm down and remember that sports are about FUN before anything else.
If you're a Bruins fan, why the hell would you be at a regular season Red Sox game if the Bruins were in the playoffs? Even if I was given free tickets I wouldn't have gone to that game.
if only you can imagine causeway packed with drunk fans screaming all in unison YOUR GAY YOUR GAY YOUR GAY!!! LETS GO BRUINS!!! thats what it was like the cops directing traffic were useless they were a bit excited too so they didnt seem to care much
Any annoucement would be welcome than listening to the way they ruined Sweet Caroline.It sucks just like the Bruins do.It will be 2070 before they win the cup again
lol when the red sox were in the world series in 2007, and game 2 was on and i had a chance to go, i went to the bruins-blackhawks game. the new ownership, along with the 2 championships, have also turned red sox nation into bandwagon nation.
Couldn't agree more. The real sports fans are the ones who are seated during the song to the left. I'm hoping more people sit down during this horrific moment in red sox history and shame the new wave of "OMG LMFAO" Sox fans out of this "tradition". I would rather look at Pau Gasol's face after being called for his third foul than sit through the singing of this song at Fenway.
figure skating is more manly then baseball. And bitch slapping? plz, you couldnt take any of those so called bitch slaps. Hockey is way more manly then baseball
